>In Freemasonry, "Mahabone" is a secret word used during the initiation into the third degree, symbolizing the opening of the Grand Lodge door and marking the candidate's symbolic resurrection.
It is whispered into the candidate's ear while they are in the Five Points of Fellowship position, a gesture of deep brotherhood and unity.
The word is considered a substitute for the lost Master's Word, traditionally associated with the legendary master builder Hiram Abiff, whose death and the subsequent search for his body are central to Masonic ritual.
While its exact etymology is debated, interpretations include a Hebrew origin meaning "What, the Builder!" or "the Grand Lodge door opened," and it is linked to themes of resurrection, moral strength, and the universal brotherhood of Masons.
Some esoteric interpretations connect it to gematria, associating it with numbers and concepts like the resurrection of Jesus, the Magdalene, and solar symbolism.
