The working tools of the builders were emblems of moral truth. The great secret orders used the drama of faith as a rite of initiation. In this episode we talk about the secret guilds of artists and craftsman and how they jealously guarded the secrets of their trades. We talk about how the crumbling of the Roman Empire caused these guilds to go underground.
