Freemason symbols

Freemason symbol “the Level”

The Level demonstrates that we are descended from the same stock, partake of the same nature, and share the same hope; and though distinctions among men are necessary to preserve subordination, yet no eminence of station should make us forget that we are brethren; for he who is placed on the lowest spoke of fortune’s wheel, may be entitled to our regard; because a time will come, and the wisest knows not how soon, when all distinction, but that of goodness, shall cease; and death, the grand leveler of human greatness, reduce us to the same state.

(Albert Gallatin Mackey, Manual of the Lodge)

“The Elder Wand,” he said, and he drew a straight vertical line on the parchment. “The Resurrection Stone,” he said, and he added a circle on top of the line. “The Cloak of Invisibility,” he finished, enclosing both line and circle in a triangle, to make the symbol that so intrigued Hermione. “Together,” he said, “the Deathly Hallows.”

(the Deathly Hallows symbol presented by Xenophilius Lovegood in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter VII)

I. The Great Hall of Hogwarts and its Freemason traditions

Interestingly, the coat of arms of Hogwarts is very similar to the coat of arms of Freemasonry or rather the coat of arms of the United Grand Lodge of England. They both depict a lion and an eagle in the same positions.
