Secrets of the Knights Templar By Susie Hodge
Most Masonic legends were openly made up as allegories. Robert L. D. Cooper, Freemason and curator at the Grand Lodge of Scotland Museum and Library in Edinburgh, wrote in 2006:
None of the traditional histories of any of the branches of Freemasonry are, or were, intended to be taken literally.
Our forebears in all the Masonic Orders manufactured suitable ‘pasts’ for allegorical purposes.
They did so with romantic notions at heart but understood that these histories manufactured by, and for, themselves were not literal truths.
