When I set out to present a paper on Astronomy in Freemasonry I naively thought it would be a straightforward task.
Interestingly, several Masonic researchers informed me that apophenia was a more likely outcome than a definitive astronomical link with our rituals.
It just goes to show how wrong you can be.
What has revealed itself to me is a large body of complex knowledge across all orders and degrees.
Trying to address the Craft, Mark and Chapter would be too much to do any justice to in a presentation such as this.
As a result, I am limiting this presentation to the Craft; introducing the basic astronomical concepts that we immerse ourselves in, often without acknowledging or understanding their significance.
