The Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge wears a top hat. Incidentally, the Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge represents the sun... the Great Light in the East. He sits upon a high-backed chair on a platform raised 3 steps up. Three steps -- the 3 Degrees of the Blue Lodge in Freemasonry -- Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, Master Mason. Ever wonder about the significance of a magician pulling a RABBIT out of his top hat? Could it be symbolic of the "rabbit hole" one must go down (ala "Alice in Wonderland") in order to attain the esoteric wisdom running in the currents of the Underground Stream? The fairy tales and nursery rhymes that have come down through the ages, weren't preserved by accident. There are pearls to be harvested in them. Sadly, most of the pearls are tossed before swine, as the saying goes. [/quote] Correction: [b]off[/b] [/quote]

This is what the "G" symbol in Freemasonry stands for...
Notice first, that it's always a capital "G". The reason for this is, because the capital "G" contains both the arc (made by the compasses) and the the right angle (made by the square) -- the heavenly and earthly, respectively, architect's designs, made by the Freemason's working tools.
It's the combination of the heavenly and earthly in one symbol -- "G". Just as the number 7 is said to be the "perfect" number. That's because 3 is the number of heaven (think: the Trinity...which pre-dates Christianity), and 4 is the number of earth (the "four corners of the earth").
So simple, yet so complex.
