Every Masonic lodge, therefore, is symbolically the Temple for the duration of the degree and possesses ritual objects representing the architecture of the Temple.

So mote it be” is a ritual phrase used by the Freemasons, in Rosicrucianism, and more recently by Neopagans, meaning “so may it be”, “so it is required”, or “so must it be”, and may be said after the person giving the prayer says ‘Amen’.
