The Holy Bible, Square, and Compasses constitute the furniture of a lodge, dedicated respectively to God, the Master of the Lodge, and the Craft 1. In early eighteenth-century lectures, the furniture comprised the Mosaic Pavement, the Blazing Star, and the Indented Tarsel, with the Bible, Square, and Compasses classed as additional furniture 1. The letter G is also displayed within the lodge as the initial of God 1.
The Mosaic Pavement, composed of black and white stones, symbolizes the intermingling of good and evil in human life 1. The physical structure of the lodge represents the Temple of Solomon, derived from the Mosaic tabernacle, serving as a symbol of the divine life to be cultivated within the individual 1.
Officers wear silver jewels representing their station and duties 1. The Worshipful Master wears the Square, the Senior Warden the Level, and the Junior Warden the Plumb Rule 1. The Treasurer wears crossed keys, the Secretary crossed pens, and the Tiler crossed swords 1. Deacons wear a square and compasses enclosing the sun or moon (or a dove carrying an olive branch in English lodges), while Stewards wear a cornucopia as an emblem of plenty 1.
Other emblems are depicted on teaching displays such as the Master's Carpet 1. These include the three steps, which delineate the stages of human life—youth, manhood, and old age—and symbolize the passage from darkness through death into spiritual light and eternal knowledge 1.
