FREEMASONRY: “a philanthropic, institution intended to achieve an understanding of truth, the study of ethics and the practice of solidarity, working for the material and moral improvement of humanity, it is compatible with any religious or esoteric faith which does not annul the freedom of individuals”. Starting from the tradition of builders harking back to the “medieval masons and architects” freemasonry pursues the personal self-construction of the individual.

This unique dagger contains a great many of the symbols used in the craft, particularly the compass and set square, the plumb line and the hammer, the sacred book and the eye of the Supreme Being, and the five-pointed star inscribed in the capital “G” of the Great.

Solomon, King of Israel (S. X b. C.). King David married Bathsheba, after orchestrating her husband's death. Their son Solomon became king. He reigned in Israel between 970BC and 931BC and he was respected and known as a wise, fair and powerful king. Solomon raised the Israelite monarchy to the height of its prosperity, built Jerusalem Temple, a wall around the city, and cultivated the Sciences and the Arts. It is told in history that there was a case in which the two women were fighting over a baby and King Solomon, in order to find out which one was the real mother, gave his sword to a soldier and ordered him to spilt the baby in two and to give one half to each of the women. The real mother begged the King not to kill the child and to give him to the other woman. This way, Solomon knew immediately which one was lying, and displayed his great wisdom and fairness.

Merlin means FALCON, when he was born to the beautiful Lady of the Lake, the great druid Hafgan, from whom Merlin was to learn all his magic, announced the birth of “The Great Lord of Light”. His grandfather taught him to be a great warrior and tireless defender of the Empire. He became Merlin the warrior-druid, loyal councillor to Uther, the supreme ruler of Britain.

On the death of Uther without any legitimate heir, Merlin drove his sword Excalibur into solid rock and gave his people a message:

“You look for a sign: he who pulls his sword from the rock will be the true King of all England”.

Merlin then became tutor to Uther’s bastard son Arthur, teaching him all the wiles of a good sovereign and keeping him hidden until the time came to unsheathe Excalibur from its rock and claim his title as King of England.
