4 Αυγ 2015 · “Mahabone” is a secret word that means “the Grand Lodge door opened.” It is whispered into a candidate’s ear when they are entering the third degree of Masonry by means of the Lion’s Grip. According to Masonic scholars, the origin of the word “mahabone” traces back to 967 B.C. A mason called Hiram Abiff claimed he knew the temple’s secret.
With the death of Hiram Abif, the Master’s word was lost and thereafter a substitute word has to be used. This is most commonly given as ‘Mah-Hah-Bone’, although there are variants such as Mahabon, Moabon and Machbenach (the latter two appearing in French rituals).
