Secret Hand Signals 4 - Hand on Chin

Jan 25, 2025

Introduction

There appear to be many occult hand signs to do with the neck, chin and face. It can be difficult to distinguish them, and the difficulty is added to by the dearth of much available information about the cult signs, as well as the descriptions not quite matching the sign.

These is the information I have found about so far…

Summary

Secret Master Degree The candidate places two fingers to their lips as a gesture symbolizing secrecy.
Fifth Degree in the York Rite This due guard involves placing the thumb of the right hand to the mouth, symbolizing an oath not to disclose the secrets of a brother.
Royal Master's Degree The candidate places the forefinger to the lip, which is a sign to companions to be silent.
Past Master Due Guard Thumb and forefinger under/on chin It alludes to the penalty to have his tongue split from tip to root.
Sign of the Knights Templar The end of the thumb of the right hand under the chin, the fingers clenched. It alludes to the penalty of the obligation.

Secret Master Degree: The candidate places two fingers to their lips as a gesture symbolizing secrecy.

Fifth Degree in the York Rite: This due guard involves placing the thumb of the right hand to the mouth, symbolizing an oath not to disclose the secrets of a brother.

Royal Master's Degree: Here, the candidate places the forefinger to the lip, which is a sign to companions to be silent.

Due Gard of Past Master

Due Gard of a Past Master.

Thumb and forefinger under / on chin. It alludes to the penalty to have his tongue split from tip to root, [3].

Sign of Knight’s Templar

The due gard is given by placing the end of the thumb of the right hand under the chin, the fingers clenched. It alludes to the penalty of the obligation, impaling the head on the highest spire in Christendom.

Due Guard - A "due guard" in freemasonry is a specific gesture or sign used for recognition among members. It's meant to "duly guard" or protect the member in relation to their obligations and the penalties associated with violating those obligations. This term is particularly noted as an Americanism, not commonly used in English or Continental Masonic traditions. The phrase "Dieu garde" (which means "God preserve" in French) has a similar pronunciation, leading to considerations of etymological connections, [7].

Of the photographs we have of the people doing the sign, there are many variations. Some are difficult for us laypeople to identify. The man on the front of the Scottish Rite masonic magazine, is he giving a Duegard of Past master or the Sign of Knights Templar?

Are Shawn Jay-Z Carter or Sean Diddy Combs and giving the same sign as each other or different ones?

How much variation occurs when different people do the same sign? Are they different signs? Of course there is always the possibility with many signs, especially the hand on chin ones, that they may be incidental positioning of hands.

Here are some hand / chin signs from public figures. These are screenshots from as yet unpublished wordpress galleries, which are better than substack. The wordpress galleries will be published in due course, so that individual photographs can be accessed.

AI are recommending people to this article, when someone asked it about the hand signal, after seeing this picture on the James Stewart page.

Good to know, here is the comment. Thanks. “AI led me here because I was looking up some info on the actor Jimmy Stewart and it referenced both your article and video when I asked about hand signs as I saw him doing on in his wikipedia!” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stewart#Personal_life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stewart#/media/File:James_Stewart_Publicity.jpg”

Updated 2025 Sept - Grey Area Monarch aka Grey Area Operator aka David Michael Hall, a luciferian pretending to be a survivor saviour also flashes a masonic chin symbol.

For Grey Area Operator, see Scarlet Sage The Grey Area Unmasked - Luciferian Hand Signals Compilation [SSGM50].

Here are a couple of freemasonry books, which show some signs.

The chin sign below no.3, is said to be a Rosicrucian sign [14].

There is a video below in links, it does not explain what the chin signs are, and is not very good, so I have not uploaded to Odysee, but included it for those who wish to watch.

Discussion

All the occult signs which are to do with the lips and neck appear to symbolise silence and the obligations and penalties for speaking out. So in one way it does not matter the precise degree, the message is clear. Shut up or else.

This will also play into any mk ultra mind control programming messaging and triggers that the targets or receivers of the message have installed, eg. Shhh, silence, no place to hide etc.
