Jachin & Boaz: The Freemason Pillars

In Masonic rituals and lodge layouts, these pillars are often depicted as large columns flanking the entrance, sometimes topped with globes or other symbols. They serve as a reminder of the dual principles of divine guidance and human effort, as well as the balance between wisdom and strength. In some traditions, they’re also tied to cosmic or esoteric concepts, like the pillars of the universe or the duality of existence (e.g., active/passive, masculine/feminine).
Their exact symbolism can vary across Masonic rites and degrees, but they generally emphasize moral and spiritual lessons, encouraging Masons to embody stability and strength in their lives.
