The secrets of Freemasonry - everyone is always talking about them.

Novelists weave tales about them. Mystics and occultists dream them up. Conspiracy theorists endlessly stir paranoid fantasies.
The Freemasons think of them as  them as degrees, signs and passwords. They are all mistaken. The true Masonic secrets are hidden in plain view, as allegories,  but to reveal them we need a trip back in time and need to ask: Why did the Medieval Trade Guilds also talk of protecting their mysteries and secrets? We are told that the Freemasonry is more ancient than the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle. How can this be true? In 1535 antiquarian John Leland made a copy of a document he claimed was written by King Henry the 6th outlining a masonic initiation he had taken part in. Can we believe him?
