From the book ***Destruction of Freemasonry Through Revelation of Their Secrets***, written by German General Erich Ludendorff. 

 Please note that I am not antisemitic or anti-Freemasonry. This text, which was published in 1927, outlines a highly critical and conspiratorial interpretation of Masonic rituals practiced by the Grosse Landesloge of Germany. The author claims that the transition of a Freemason from an "unhewn stone" to a "cubus" represents a form of symbolic circumcision aimed at reshaping the individual’s inner being. By drawing parallels to ancient Jewish law, the passage asserts that these ceremonies are designed to transform non-Jewish members into "artificial Jews" through psychological manipulation so that they may serve Jehovah more than a "Christianized goy" can. The narrative suggests that these rites serve to intimidate and confuse German participants, stripping them of their independent thought-capacity. Ultimately, the text portrays Freemasonry as a deceptive tool used to subjugate the German people under the guise of spiritual development. This could be why Germany criminalized Freemasonry in the 1930s. Perhaps this is just antisemitic propaganda, or maybe Freemasons really do perform rituals such as this. Maybe it was just that certain lodge.

The Symbolic Circumcision was a Freemasonic ritual to turn "goys" into "artificial Jews" according to this text. Please note that I am not against Jews or Freemasonry.
