The most poorly kept secret from the
mormon secret temple ceremonies (derived from masonic ceremonies)
magic underwear (
mormon garments) are a two piece set - like a T shirt and long shorts
This current design is the garment of choice for most mormons. Previous styles have had full length legs, collars, cuffs and some were one-piece (a 19th century onesie).
Obviously designed by a
man in a patriarchal society,
Women are expected to wear a Bra over the top of their
mormon t-shirt.
There is nothing apparently special about the garments. they are almost always white, but the magic comes from masonic symbols embroidered onto them.
The symbols represent a Masonic
Square (⅃) a masonic pair of drawing compasses (V) and a masonic level (-)
Despite protestations from mormons that the garments are not really 'magic', every
mormon will have heard testimonies and stories from other cult members about how their garments have saved them from fire, cuts, animal bites and even gunshot wounds
for example Paul H Dunn - a
mormon general authority (a high Mucky
Muck) told how, in WW2, a hail of bullets ripped off all his clothes, but left his body and garments untouched..... Of course, Dunn's stories are no longer quoted by cult members since his stories about WW2 were exposed as complete lies in a national newspaper...
