Masonic Ring, the all-telling sign of the Freemason. The Masonic Ring is the sign of Freemasons all over the world. Typically shown with the Compass and Square on the top of the Masonic Ring and the Plumb and Trowel on the sides of the shank of the Masonic Ring, the ring is normally worn on the third index finger next to the pinky finger on the right hand. There are several different opinions as to whether the points of the compass on the Masonic Ring should point toward or away from the wearer’s body. As of this date, the Grand Lodges have not made any rulings on this subject. Take one viewpoint for example. If you were to hang the American Flag, would you hang it with the stars at the bottom or top of the flag? Obviously you would fly the flag with the stars on top; therefore, the wearer of the Masonic Ring should wear the ring with the points of the compass and square pointing toward the wearer.

Obviously you would fly the flag with the stars on top; therefore, the wearer of the Masonic Ring should wear the ring with the points of the compass and square pointing toward the wearer. Another viewpoint is that when the emblem of the Compass and square is displayed on a building or a pennant, the normal customer would be that the points of the compass would point downward. When displayed on the Altar, the points of the compass and square point away from the Master. As the Master from his station views the compass from the Altar of his lodge, the points are from, not towards him. As the wearer of a compass watch charm views it, the points are down and away from his eyes. In a similar way, as the Mason views the emblem on his Masonic Ring, the points should be down or away from his eyes. The square is the symbol of earthly things and the compass of heavenly perfection. As a combined emblem, the ends of the square point up as a symbol of man’s aspirations toward God; the points of the compass are down to represent heavenly qualities coming down from God to earth; therefore it would seem that the proper way to wear the Masonic Ring would be that is which its symbolism is best expressed; namely, that in which, when the hand is held in its usual position, the points of the compass of the Masonic Ring are towards the earth and away from the wearer’s eyes.

Who Are the Prince Hall Masons? Who was Prince Hall?
Prince Hall is recognized as being the Father of Black Masonry in th USA. Historically, he made it possible for Blacks to be recognized and enjoy all privileges of free and accepted Masonry. Many rumors of the birth of Prince Hall have arisen. A few records and papers have already been found of him in Barbados where it was rumored that he was born in 1748, but no record of birth by church or by state, exists there. Many churches with baptismal records have been examined without finding the name of Prince Hall. One widely circulated rumor states that “Prince Hall was free born in British West Indies. His father, Thomas Prince Hall, was an Englishman and his mother a free black woman of French extraction. In 1765 he worked his passage on a ship to Boston, where he worked as a leather worker, a trade taught by his father. During this time he married Sarah Ritchery. Shortly after their marriage, she died at the age of 24. Eventually Prince Hall acquired real estate and was qualified to vote. Prince Hall also pressed John Hancock to be allowed to join the Continental Army and was considered one of a few blacks who fought at the battle of Bunker Hill. Religiously inclined, he later became a minister within the African Methodist Episcopal Church by having charge in Cambridge and fought for the abolition of slavery.” Some accounts are paraphrased coming from the generally discredited Grimshaw book of 1903. Freemasonry among Black men began while in the War of Independence, when Prince Hall and fourteen other free black men were initiated into Lodge # 441, Irish Constitution, attached to the 38th Regiment of Foot, British Army Garrisoned at Castle Williams (now Fort Independence) Boston Harbor on March 6, 1775.
