"Unveiling the Secrets: The Blindfolded Journey of Freemasons" In the depths of secrecy, a young woman stands poised on a diving board, blindfolded. Balancing between fear and courage, she symbolizes the initiation into an ancient brotherhood - the Freemasons. At the Old Bailey in London, Lady Justice stands tall with her sword and scales, her eyes hidden behind a blindfold. She represents impartiality and fairness in the pursuit of justice. Intriguingly, Helen Duncan's name arises - known for her supernatural abilities to summon ectoplasm and teleplasmic hands from another realm. A mysterious connection to unseen forces that transcends our understanding. Ernest Board's sculpture "Fortuna" captures Fortuna's essence as she too wears a blindfold. Luck remains unpredictable; it favors no one but reveals its hand only when it chooses. A poster promoting Stephen Dwoskin Season at BFI Southbank transports us to May 2009. Perhaps this event held secrets waiting to be uncovered by those willing to explore with their senses masked. Delving deeper into history takes us back to Paris in 1740 where Masons gather under veiled gazes. Their rituals shrouded in mystery as they seek enlightenment through shared experiences. The guillotine looms ominously - an instrument that brought swift justice during tumultuous times. Its blade falling upon both guilty and innocent alike, reminding us of humanity's capacity for both righteousness and cruelty. On a synagogue in Strasbourg stands a sculpted figure adorned with a blindfold. It serves as a reminder that faith can sometimes require trust without sight – believing even when answers elude us. "The House That Jack Built, " an enigmatic tale woven through time immemorial echoes whispers of hidden truths concealed beneath layers of symbolism and allegory. Justice personified emerges from these fragments – elusive yet ever-present amidst our quest for truth.
