NO.5 MASONIC HANDSHAKES
The Lion’s paw and other Freemasonic Handshakes
These are by far the hardest signs to identify on this list. There are dozens of Masonic handshakes and signs. The first 3 degrees of Freemsonry (Blue Lodge) alone have 5 grips and 7 different signs. Other rites connected to these three degrees include the appendant bodies such as the York Rite with 12 degrees and the Scottish Rite with 33 degrees.
There are also, irregular Masonic Lodges like the Rite of Memphis-Misraïm with 99 degrees while the Bavarian Illuminati had 9 different grips and 9 individual signs.
That’s A LOT of Masonic handshakes.
It is also incredibly difficult to determine whether are not the people doing the handshake intended it to be a Masonic handshake.
There are hundreds of variations of everyday handshakes which depend on a variety of factors including a person’s height, distance from shaker and even whether or not a person is in a hurry or not. Handshakes also vary depending on how familiar greeters are with each other.
