''The Rose was for the Initiates the living and Blooming Symbol of the revelation of the harmonies of Being... The Conquest of the ROSE was the problem propounded to Science by Initiation''... (Dr. Albert Pike, Morals and dogmas, p.821) Within the iconographic and symbolic Corpus of the Masonic Order, alchemy is an essential element in the representation of the relationship of man-stone and its transmutation-transformation as a polished stone and grounded to the Geometric Perfection of the Pentalfa =5. The Real Art is the same execution of the physical-spiritual levels of the ascension of the apprentice in Solar Journey-initiation- towards the Magisterium=Sun-Squadron. The rigorous and formal analysis of the symbolism of solar-complex and of the various stages of influences of the macrocosm-temple in the stonemason and within the concept of microcosm of the personal temple, they require careful analytical exercise and strict and educated methodology of alchemical sources and documents. Since the Order, contains the spiritual substance of the Western Alchemical Tradition, among solid influences of currents of initiatory philosophical thought of Neoplatonic, Neo-pitagórical, Kabbalistic and, later, the superb influence of the educated alchemists of the Italian Renaissance.

(Peat Philosophorum) The "water permanens" in igneous form of true water and the water of philosophers is fire. First Agent as Secret Fire. It's the "water that doesn't wet your hands." For the Flowery Mastro Lord Zadith: "Our fire is water." Our stone is fire out of fire and will become fire, and its soul lives in fire." And, according to Aristotle: "Choose for you as a stone the one who makes in the crowns of kings that they be venerated... for this stone is near the fire."

"The raw stone remains as one of the fundamental symbols of Freemasonry. In general, Masonic authors have transformed this symbol into a moral allegory, often utilitarian they assimilate the new Mason, the apprentice, to a brute stone, which will be necessary for himself and on himself through a constant, purely internal task... the brute stone (the apprentice) is an individuality... which must be unpacked in the end of all its roughness (the carved stone) and integrated into the global edifice that forms Freemasonry."
