On the left is the first degree tracing board from Bradford University. My interpretation of the First Degree Tracing Board differs from that of Wayne Herschel.

Here is why: While i agree that tracing board represents a star map, it has to be interpreted in symbolic way from a masonic perspective.

In symbolism, the maps often are not drawn in scale.
Wayne seems to interpret the star map in scale, rather than symbolically (IMO).

And if you take that approach, you will see that the blazing star is in the center of the board represents Aldebaran, the bull's eye in the constellation Taurus..

In the posts above, I go through each of the five clues and their inter-relationships. There are probably more clues, and I will post as I find them.
