There has been speculation over the years that Shakespeare was a creator of Freemasonry. This is being based on two major plays of Shakespeare being the Love?s Labors Lost and the Tempest. It is purported that these two plays are symbolic to Masonic values. Then there are others that further support this theory by referring to MacBeth.

MacBeth is said to be the story of the horrific murder of Hiram Abiff who is said to be the main figure in the Masonic ritual. Hiram Abiff was one of the original three Grand Masters during the early inception of this organization. The story about Hiram Biff is intriguing.

The legend has it that during the construction of Kings Solomon?s temple that Abiff promised his architects that he would tell them all of the secrets of the Master Mason once the temple was completed. Three of the architects did not want to wait and tried to force the secrets out of Abiff to no avail. So these three workers ended up killing Abiff. Now apparently once a Mason has reached the third degree level he must carry out a mock ritual killing as it took place regarding Abiff.

You may have noticed something consistent in what we have said so far. This is in reference to the number three. There were ? 3 Grand Masters 3 architects who committed the murder 33 degrees or levels within the organization 3 Principal Officers 3 Symbolic steps 3 Obligations 3 lights upon the alter 3 pillars that support the Lodge 3 knocks to be allowed into the Lodge 3 knocks to call the members to order

It is believed that the whole Mason?s organization was and still is based on alchemy.

So getting back to MacBeth and reading between the lines determining if Shakesphere was truly a Mason take a look at the following interesting facts.

The play depicts? 3 witches -spoke the words Fair is foul, foul is fair. Hecate has 3 roles

As the play, goes on scholars have made many interpretations regarding its inference to Masonry although extremely complex, it leaves one open to wondering.

Alchemy and the Masons share in common the perception of positives and negatives as being common elements. The Grand Commander Albert Pike summed up the overview of these elements by stating that Satan was a force created for good, which may serve evil. The beliefs go on to the point where it indicates that man is free to do good or evil. This is where the connotation in MacBeth by the witches is said to equate with the belief of the Masons. Thus just another similarity that leads some to believe that the play is based on certain characteristics of the Masons.

It is most difficult to understand the parallels here without first having MacBeth and understanding the play. If those that believe that Shakesphere was indeed at least even a Mason of no standing then MacBeth does give an in-depth in sight to the organization, which keeps itself shrouded in secrecy. On the other hand for those that do not believe there is any correlation between MacBeth and the Masons they still must admit there is a lot of speculation based on the coincidental.

Anyone that has ever read material concerning the Freemasons will often tell you they find it confusing and conflicting. In most cases, they are right as it?s most difficult to determine what is factual and what is mere speculation.

There have been many topics on the workings of the Freemasons and what they stand for and what other venues they are involved in. Some anti Masons emphasize the believe that they are devil worshippers. Others feel they have a political agenda, and some feel that they are a sect of organized crime. Based on this concept it has been alluded to that, the Freemasons will ensure that members are part of varying levels of government. This type of thinking is being supported by an Italian investigation in the 1980?s.

During this investigation, resulting from a Police raid on the offices of a Grand Master of the Freemasonry a list was found. On this list were the names of various government personnel and members of the military. In addition, there were bankers, diplomats, judges, secret service members as well as many other sectors. There were politicians from every party with the exclusion of the communists and radicals. Of primary interest were the names of the Mafia found on the list as well.

Of major concern was a document seized called ?Democratic rebirth?. This was an agenda for rewriting the Italian constitution. When combined with the names on the list it was perceived that this proposed agenda could have very well become a reality. It would seem that there was little to dispute the infiltration of the Masons into the high government levels.

Italy is known to be the roots for the Mafia for many years. Mafia members who have turned as states witnesses have clearly indicated that there are direct and strong ties between the Masons and organized crime. One of these witnesses testified that when one of the strong Italian mafia families had any problems with those in judiciary power they simply had to go to the Masons to have it rectified. Speculation is that all the leaders of the significant Italian mob families are members of the Masons. One must admit that the secrecy of what goes on behind Mason doors is the perfect setting for the illegal activities of the organized crime sector.

The concern goes beyond the borders of Italy. Evidence has surfaced to show that the leaders of the Chinese Mafia the Triads are in most cases Freemason members as well. Then the Chinese Masons in Australia have been indicated as using intimidation.

A retired Corporal of the RCMP wrote in his book that he believed many members of the RCMP were promoted because of their connections to the Mason.

Its interesting to note when one goes back in History to the 1800?s that all forms of societies and organization memberships were prohibited by the Police Act concerning any Police force. This excluded the Society of Freemasons. This is relative to the Australia Police Act. It is unknown if this is still in existence as part of their act today.

Moving up to 1997 there was the Wood Royal Commission into the NSW Police Force based on corruption. It was deemed that the Freemasons had exercised control here as well. In fact, the Commissioner at that time was a well-known Grand Master, and subsequently because of this investigation, he resigned.

With this type of Police Investigation and the significant evidence surfacing its understandable why many individuals are becoming wary of the Freemasons.
