PSA (Public Service Advisory) by Professor Engelstein
The term “profane” has a specific meaning within the context of Freemasonry. It is derived from the Latin word “profanus,” which conveys the idea of unholiness, vulgarity, and irreverence. However, when used in a Masonic context, it does not carry an insulting connotation. Let me explain further:
Historical Origins:
The term “profane” originally meant “outside the temple” or “uninitiated.” It referred to individuals who had not undergone the initiation rituals of Freemasonry.
In ancient times, the temple was a sacred space where initiates received esoteric knowledge and underwent spiritual transformation. Those who were not part of this inner circle were considered profane.
Thus, someone labeled as “profane” in Masonic terms is simply someone who has not been initiated into the Masonic degrees.
Modern Usage:
Over time, the use of the term “profane” has diminished among Masons. While some Masons may still use it occasionally, it is not commonly employed.
It is essential to recognize that within the Masonic fraternity, the intention behind using the term is not to insult or demean non-Masons. Instead, it serves as a descriptive term for those who have not undergone Masonic initiation.
Conspiracy theorists and critics sometimes misuse the term, using it derogatorily. However, this is not representative of the broader Masonic community.
