The graft · what has no Jewish source

The honest inventory of what the Order added, as against what it borrowed. Not distortions of the Kabbalah — additions to it, from other rooms entirely:

· the cross at the centre of the lamen, and the Christian formulae on it (I.N.R.I., L.V.X.);
· the rose, and the whole Rosicrucian frame — Christian Rosenkreutz, the Vault of the Adepti, the 120-year legend;
· the Egyptian revival — godforms, Egyptian regalia, the staging Kircher began and the Order finished;
· the grade structure itself, which is Masonic in form.

None of these is a scandal on its own. Traditions borrow; that is what the entire annex is about. It becomes a problem only at the point where a composite is presented as a single ancient thing — which is precisely what happened, and what ⚠ show the graft in this wing is built to make visible in one press.
