What are the modern Masonic symbols? In recent years, while the core symbols of Freemasonry remain consistent, their interpretations and applications continue to evolve. The most universally recognized symbols include the Square and Compasses, which represent morality and self-restraint, and the Level, signifying equality. The Plumb Rule denotes uprightness, while the Eye of Providence symbolizes divine oversight. Additionally, the G within the Square and Compasses is often interpreted as representing Geometry or God, the Great Architect of the Universe. As noted by Albert Pike in *Morals and Dogma*, "The symbols of Freemasonry are the language of the Craft." This highlights the enduring nature of these symbols, which convey profound moral and philosophical truths to initiates and brethren alike. Thus, while these symbols are not 'modern' in the sense of being newly invented, they are continuously employed and understood within contemporary Masonic practice.
