what does the "G" stand for the MASONIC emblem?
i know this has been discussed before and many different answers have been given, but i think i have the correct answer now. the correct answer is GAotU, which means "Grand Architect of the Universe".

in fact, i believe, the EMBLEM itself stands for GAotU.

the G stands for Grand
the "compass" is a stylized A, for Architect
(usually small words like of, the, etc are not represented)
the "rule" is a stylized U, for Universe

i don't believe this has ever been proposed in the other threads. i know the GAOTU has been said, but i don't believe the proposal about the EMBLEM has been mentioned.

Re: what does the "G" stand for the MASONIC emblem?
b. The Letter "G"

The Blue Lodge Mason is taught that the "G" in the Masonic symbol represents God. Later on, he is told that it also represents "deity." Later still, he is told that it represents "geometry." In reality, this letter represents the "generative principle," the Sun-god and, thus, the worshipped phallus, the male "generative principle…" In its position (along with the Square and Compass) on the east wall over the chair (throne) of the Worshipful Master, it is the representation of the Sun, thus of the Sun-god, Osiris. Its earthly meaning, then, is of the sacred phallus; its cosmic meaning is of the Sun, worshipped since antiquity by pagans while facing the East. (See c, below).

c. The "G" and the "YOD"

The English letter "G" in Masonic symbolism is inseparable from, and identical with, the Hebrew letter "YOD." This "YOD" is the symbol on the Scottish Rite ring. "YOD" represents deity in general (its cosmic meaning), and the worshipped phallus in particular (its earthly meaning). Albert Pike wrote that the "G" displayed in English speaking lodges is merely a corruption of the "YOD" (with which it should be replaced), and that "the mysterious YOD of the Kabala" is the "image of the Kabalistic Phallus." (3) The "Kabalah" he refers to here is a medieval book of the occult, a highly mystical and magical interpretation of the Bible, (4) and important sourcebook for sorcerers and magicians. (5)

Something that all cults require for followers.

From the Book of Freemasonry, History of the Once Secret Order By Jack M. Driver. Page 14 it say's That the Diety said to be the source of all monotheistic religions is often represented by the Letter G which is widely agreed to stand for Geometry.

sorry,daddy is a witch/warlock
he pretends to be moral and good so he can use your sins against you, he can use you like a robot, say a word to remind you of your iniquities and you flip into retard mode waiting for his command.its like a trance you go to to hide from yourself and your current situation.
step back and watch him poke at your insecurities, then,later,step back and watch all of your friends and associates do the same thing(yes, he set you up,you know the rumor mill)
question:were you abused as a child? think hard, usually you block these traumas out, but if you think on it you will remember what you have always known.
have you been through your spiritual rebirth yet? if not its coming, try not to go nuts,they either break you or they break you.

I was briefly a member of Eastern Star, the female component of the lodge, and there was a single G hanging on the front wall, without the compass. They told me it stood for "God".
