Mirth is our life's true elixir; It shows you're a "regular guy." There's nothing that so banishes worry, Nor puts such a big crimp in sin; Nor smoothes out the wrinkles of trouble, like a jolly old Jester-mans grin! It rolls of the years from your shoulders; You'll forget that you've grown to be men! Your youth turns once more to embrace you; For you've grown to be school boys again! So, if you've got grouches, don't bring 'em; Its your laugh and your joke that we need; For mirth is the doctor of trouble, And Laughter, the Jester-man's Creed! The most frequently quoted of the many theories of interesting versions was that the Billiken originated in Egypt. It has been said that the Egyptian considered the Billiken to be a symbol of good luck, and the God of Laughter, Happiness, Merry making and Good Health. He was a patron of beauty and guardian angel of children. They believed that the presence of the little figure with his pointed head, pot belly, bat-like ears and whimsical smile, when kept in their homes, would protect and insure a happy, harmonious atmosphere. The figure is a beautiful representation of the Masonic principles of love, joy, and abundance, and is sure to be a conversation starter among fellow collectors. Whether you are a seasoned Masonic historian or a beginner, this piece is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and symbolism of the Masonic organization.
