A lot of graves have them at my local cemetery & I was wondering what they mean.

That's just the logo of the local stonemaston company that did the gravestones.

>>18498386
Well thats the satanist pentagram its upside down
>>
>>18498386
I got you OP.
Its the seal of the Order of the Eastern Star.
I believe that you will find all the headstones with that symbol are women. There are probably quite a few masonic emblems in the cemetery as well.

OotES is a female only masonic offshoot.

>>18498778
oh I just reread the post, did you want a breakdown of every individual symbol?
>>
>>18498784
I would please.

The center symbol is the masonic "volume of sacred law" (you can google for more) but basically, its a book on a plinth.

The symbols in the arms of the star are representative of the five female archetypes, and the five virtues of the order of the eastern star, as follows:
In the upper right corner is the sword and veil representative of Adah (again, look up names or terms you're not familiar with you might find some things) it represents the virtue of "obedience to duty" continuing clockwise, next is the sheaf of Barley representing Ruth which is representative of "adherence to religious principle" next is the crown and scepter of Esther, representative of the virtue of loyalty, followed by the broken column of martha representing "endurance in adversity/trial" finally the last symbol (in the upper left) is the golden cup of Electra and the virtue of "endurance in persecution"

I cant tell you much more than that because its considered an initiatory and sacred symbol and not all meanings are revealed to the uninitiated, but thats the gist.

tl;dr:
it's the symbol that outlines and represents the sacred female figures and virtues of the super secret all-girls branch of the masonic order.

>>18498863

>>18498866
np, also, I fucked up, it's not "electra" its "electa" I always got that one messed up. Shes the "elect lady", I dont know what that means.

BTW these are all female figures from biblical canon.

it means that they were members of the eastern star
>>
>>18498778
OES cannot open without a brother Mason present though, there are a few men
>>
>>18498863
Sounds cool. Do they let trans women join?
>>
>>18502032
No, actually.
>>
>>18502032
Depends on the lodge.

Don't count on it though, unless Mason/OoEE membership already runs in your family.
