Grand Lodges recognize each other through a process of Masonic Landmarks and Regular Masonic jurisdictions. There are also Masonic appendant bodies, which are organizations related to the main branch of Freemasonry, but with their own independent administration. <br /> <br /> Freemasonry uses the metaphors of operative stonemason tools and implements, against the allegory backdrop of the building of Solomon's Temple, to convey what is most generally defined as &quot;''a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.''&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09771a.htm 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia&lt;/ref&gt;</div>
