Tubalcain - The Power of Human Ingenuity (Daily Progress)

The biblical figure Tubalcain, a skilled metalworker mentioned in the Book of Genesis, holds symbolic and philosophical significance for the Masonic tradition. Freemasons view him as an embodiment of the pursuit of knowledge, human ingenuity, and the value of skill in service of humanity, with his mastery over metals representing the power of progress.

The metals he worked with, bronze and iron, symbolize the combining of elements to create something stronger and the dual nature of human power to create and destroy. In Masonic tradition, Tubalcain represents the "master craftsman" who has honed skills to the highest level, not just technically but morally and spiritually, raising questions of how to responsibly wield skill and power.
