The Black Stone
The Black Stone of Mecca is a religious artifact of the Muslim faith. According to tradition, it dates back to Adam and Eve. Today, the stone is the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba, a stone building of great antiquity towards which Muslims direct their prayers. It measures approximately one foot in diameter, standing over four feet tall. Pilgrims walk in circles around the Kaaba, stopping to kiss the Black Stone on each of their seven laps. If they are unable to kiss it, they instead point to it. During the Middle Ages, the Stone was broken into many pieces, and is not help together by a silver frame, attached using silver nails.
The post The Black Stone appeared first on Richard Cassaro.
Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers.
