This paper examines some important origins of symbols attaching to Speculative Freemasonry deriving from ancient non-Masonic traditions, with special emphasis on cosmographic and astrotheosophic imageries.
The origins are examined comparatively with ancient symbolisms.
The author presents a revised astrotheosophic model concerning the classical Hebraic interpretation for the 12 signs of the Zodiac as appertaining to the Twelve Tribes of Israel, as well as other symbols associated with ancient Masonic esotery.
