Freemasonry shares a fascination with mystical symbolism found in traditions like Rosicrucianism, alchemy, Jungian psychology, and modern Wicca. On this ring, nearly every available surface is packed with imagery: the square and compasses; the yod within a triangle (a symbol of the divine name of God and sacred geometry) associated with Scottish Rite Masonry; a Christian cross; and a Maltese cross, long associated with the Knights Templar. Flanking the sides is the two-headed eagle, emblem of the 32nd and 33rd degrees of the Scottish Rite, representing sovereignty over both the spiritual and earthly realms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo show off the owner’s wealth—and add some fancy flair—there’s a substantial .50 ct round brilliant diamond.
