<p>[QUOTE="milestoneks, post: 17451, member: 170"]"that the gavel meant that the wearer had been a worthy matron or a past worthy matron.............." That would be right. One must first be a member of blue lodge masonry before joining other appendages of masonry, of which their are many. The gavel takes on meaning in blue lodge masonry, but basically is an emblem of power, much like a judge in the court room. There is no 'president' in masonry. The 'man in charge' in blue lodge is the Worshipful Master. In Eastern Star it is the Worthy Matron. If a lady wears an Eastern Star pin depicting a gavel, it would mean she is a past Worthy Matron of her lodge. I would guess that whomever wore the op's pin was a member of the OES and whose spouse was of the Shrine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
