The Square and Compass
They’re simple tools of an ancient craft, used to build cathedrals and fortresses, but also character and values. Together, they represent morality and wisdom, the foundations of Freemasonry. Anywhere in the world you see the square and compass, you know that Masons there are committed to personal growth, service, and friendship.
These symbols are about connecting to something bigger than yourself. They’re about sharing centuries-old traditions and life lessons that guide, unite, and bind us together—regardless of background or faith.
The square and compass stand for making a profound difference in our own lives, in the lives of those around us, and in the communities we live in and serve. Learn more about what Freemasonry stands for today.

With Freemasonry and skydiving, it’s the same premise. You have a community that supports you and guides you. When you jump, you have people looking out for you.

When I became a classical musician, I learned about our wonderful brother Mozart, and that sparked my interest in Freemasonry even more.
