The Wages of a Fellow Craft
In Freemasonry, corn, wine, and oil are the symbolic wages of a Fellow Craft - simple in form, but rich in meaning.
Corn (grain/salt) represents nourishment and the rewards of honest labor.
Wine symbolizes refreshment, joy, and the uplift that comes from growth.
Oil signifies peace, harmony, and consecration.
Together, they reflect a balanced life: sustenance, joy, and inner peace—the true rewards of a Mason’s journey.
They also make a thoughtful and meaningful gift for someone who has just taken the Fellow Craft degree, serving as a reminder of what he has earned and what he is called to cultivate moving forward.
