What is the role of the Worshipful Master in relation to the three columns?
The Worshipful Master represents Wisdom, one of the three symbolic pillars—Wisdom, Strength, and Beauty—that support a lodge, as the United Grand Lodge of England states. Within this framework of symbolic instruction, the Worshipful Master embodies Wisdom to guide the members, plan the work, and govern the lodge, while the Senior Warden represents Strength and the Junior Warden represents Beauty.
The column of Wisdom associated with the Worshipful Master is traditionally linked to the Ionic order of architecture, as a paper read before Quatuor Coronati Lodge notes.
