at Texas A & M University.<br />

Modern architects under the control <strong>of</strong> the political freemasons are<br />

seldom permitted to use mentally enhancing geomancy. <strong>The</strong>y design<br />

buildings which have a destructive effect upon the human psyche,<br />

i.e. the Museum <strong>of</strong> Modern Art in Paris, the new Guggenheim Museum<br />

in Bilbao or the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. <strong>The</strong>se buildings for<br />

instance proportions are far from the golden mean.<br />

Modern political <strong>freemasonry</strong> has grown out <strong>of</strong> medieval guilds <strong>of</strong><br />

craftsmen, who moved from place to place as they built palaces,<br />

castles and churches. <strong>The</strong>se guilds worked in the manner <strong>of</strong> local<br />

trade unions and brotherhoods for stone masons. Initiated builders<br />

also wished to make their hard lives a little easier and to spread their<br />

secret geomantic knowledge. Other craftsmen were usually statio-<br />

nary.<br />

At the building sites, the workers had a lodge, where tools were<br />

kept and where they could rest and eat. It was in these lodges that<br />

apprentices and journeymen were initiated into the secrets <strong>of</strong> the<br />

craft, which were not disclosed to outsiders; for example how to<br />

In 5th century Spain, an association <strong>of</strong> masons was mentioned for<br />

the first time, the so-called comancini. <strong>The</strong>ir leader was appointed by<br />

the king.<br />

Masons joined their local guild, the lodge, chiefly for the purposes<br />

<strong>of</strong> protection, education and training.<br />

<strong>The</strong> freemasons founded their first lodge in York in northern<br />

England as early as A. D. 926, with the Roman collegia fabrorum as<br />

prototype. In the lodges <strong>of</strong> the freemasons, journeymen were<br />

instructed in the complicated secrets <strong>of</strong> geomantic architecture. In<br />

1375, a document, which was later found in the London City Archives<br />

described the freemasons as craftsmen, whose movements were not<br />
