    Have you ever wondered about the origins of mysterious words used in Freemasonry? In this episode of Cooper on the Case, host Robert Cooper dives deep into the intriguing history of the term “Cowan”—a word that appears in Masonic ritual as a warning, yet traces back to everyday Scottish life, surnames, and the world of stonemasons.

    Join Robert as he explores references from Dr. George F. Black’s Surnames of Scotland, unpacks centuries-old statutes, and scours historical accounts to reveal how “Cowan” made the leap from a common surname and rural occupation to a loaded term inside Masonic lodges. Discover why Masons were cautioned NEVER to work with Cowans, the social and occupational divisions behind it, and how this single word offers a fascinating window into the evolution of modern Freemasonry.

    Whether you’re a Mason, a history buff, or just curious about secret societies and Scottish traditions, this episode serves up captivating insights and untold stories. Tune in and let Robert Cooper take you on a detective’s journey to uncover the true meaning—and mystery—of Cowan.
