Brethren,
Even in jest, let's not cast aside our Obligations so easily. This is not a Tyled Forum, and a casual slip might cause us to err fatally, and give succour to cowans and eavesdroppers.

Fear Not Ruff, I do not think a secret has been disclosed, I remember the Scots war dance from Braveheart Cheeky little chaps they were _ I am sure we could find a masonic gesture there if we were an anti . If someone is looking for a masonic gesture, there was a myriad of gestures in that wonderful haka - decide yourself which is a masonic sign . I like the idea of Masons greeting each other in the street with the secret and mysterious Masonic sign of touching their chins with the tip of their Tongue.

Yes, it is interesting to see possible Masonic gestures in other cultures' Rituals and Symbols and in THIS Forum such discussion, (subject only to the caveat Ruff has given), is freely permitted and even encouraged as adding to the Body of Knowledge.
As a matter of interest are any of the current squad of All Blacks also Freemasons.

These are the words of the new All Black's haka from their website www.allblacks.com Kapa o Pango KIA WHAKAWHENUA AU I AHAU! Let me become one with the land HI AUE, HI!! KO AOTEAROA E NGUNGURU NEI! This is our land that rumbles AU, AU, AUE HA! And it’s my time! It’s my moment! KO KAPA O PANGO E NGUNGURU NEI ! This defines us as the All Blacks AU, AU, AUE HA! It’s my time! It’s my moment! I AHAHA! KA TU TE IHIIHI Our dominance KA TU TE WANAWANA Our supremacy will triumph KI RUNGA KI TE RANGI E TU IHO NEI, TU IHO NEI, HI! And will be placed on high PONGA RA! Silver fern! KAPA O PANGO, AUE HI! All Blacks! PONGA RA! Silver fern! KAPA O PANGO, AUE HI, HA! All Blacks! Copyright If you have seen any other hakas, you should be aware that the gestures are very common ones and frequently used. There have been enough Maori items over the years on BBC and ITA for them to become familiar and it is possible for anyone to inadvertently make a "masonic" gesture in any sort of a dance. I am quite sure some people would be able to find some sort of masonic symbolism in anything from a swimming club to a race meeting or a bowls tournament
