The Kabbalistic Craftsman has had a special interest in symbology since his late teenage years, with that interest ultimately developing into Perennialist esotericism in his adult years, even before becoming a Freemason. His interests in esotericism have allowed him to see connections or parallels in Masonic symbolism across traditions where others may miss them. This site serves as a repository of his findings, and he openly welcomes feedback in the spirit of “iron sharpening iron”.
