Masonic Ring gift from co-worker

[Mike1]

“You are supposed to wear the ring "compass - pointed" into yourself until you become a Past Master of your lodge. At which time you can turn it out to the rest of the world, as you have reached the point of Master, and have mastered the art of the Quadrant, and you may now share your wisdom with others”.

Or leave the points inward as a reminder to circumscribe your own life.

Wear the ring either direction. Just remember to wear it honorably. That's the important part.
