In Freemasonry, the Symbol of Mortality is represented with a spade, a coffin, and an open grave.
If we explore the etymology of the word spade, we will find it is composed of the words "spa and de." The meaning of the root word spa is "to draw"; from the Greek orcaw, "to draw, or draw out." The meaning of de is down, down from, and off. Therefor the meaning I have come to, is that the word spade means to draw down or draw out and down, or draw from the down.

The English word sacrum is derived from the full Latin expression os sacrum, a translation of Ancient Greekἱερόν ὀστέον, attested in the writings of Greek physician Galen. Both os and ὀστέον mean bone, and sacrum and ἱερόν mean holy or sacred. Formerly the os sacrum was called holy bone. The human sacrum boneis known as the "holy bone" for a reason. It is a large, triangular bone that looks very similar to the symbol of the spade. It is located at both the base of the spine between our two hip bones with the coccyx(tailbone), and also at the top of our spine which connects with the last lumbar vertebra, and its lower part. The sacrum bone normally forms from five unfused vertebrae at birth and they begin to fuse together between the approximate ages of 16–18 years old, and by the age of 33-34 years it fuses into one bone that looks just like a spade.

I want to briefly explore the number 33 because it is interesting for several scientific reasons, and we modern Gnostics should pay close attention to this divine number. For example, as I mentioned above, our spines have 33 vertebrae, there are 33 sequences in DNA, and in Freemasonry 33 is the highest degree. This is not all a coincidence, but by design.
The spinal column is like a serpent that directly is connected to your brain, DNA and central nervous system. For a person to rise above their lower animal selves and emotions in order to reach the 33rdvertebrae to the house of illumination in their brain, they can then become an illuminated Gnostic. This is when an initiate uses his brain to control his body, emotions and animals self to then operate at the 33rd degree by properly activating his or her DNA, spinal column and central nervous system to become a master of thyself and thyworld. You see, the Number 33is a Master Number that is also the Master Teacher. The master Jesus was crucified at Golgotha (place of the skull)at age 33 in the year 33 A.D. There are 788,280 words in the King James Bible, and if you add the number 7+8+8+2+8+0 = 33.
In the occult, 33 is also the numerical equivalent of AMEN: 1+13+5+14=33. Below you can see the relation of the spine, 33, and the God Amon (Amen, Amun etc) to the Nazirutha (The Secret Nazorean Doctrine), which gave us the Nazarene Kabbalah of the Abrahamic religions and some of the first true Gnostics known as the Essenes.
