A phrase used in many mystery traditions, including modern freemasonry, one way Masons may identify each other is as follows:
“Are you a traveling man?”
“Yes”
“Where do you travel?”
“I travel from West to East and then from East back to West, in search of that which is lost”
The true meaning of “that which is lost” refers to the missing phallus of Osiris in the Egyptian mythos. According to legend, Osiris is murdered and dismembered into 14 pieces, his wife, the widow Isis recovers all 14 save for his phallus, which was thrown into the Nile and consumed by 3 fish. The three fish represent: Ignorance (The Mob/People), Superstition (The Church) and Fear (The State)
That ancient Obelisk represents this missing phallus.
“Are you a traveling man?”
