The Lodge of Perfection Emblem

 

These eleven degrees investigate spirituality, focusing on the unutterable name of God and frequently referencing the three symbolic degrees of the Blue Lodge and applying them to everyday situations. Despite being the introduction to Scottish Rite Masonry, these degrees are anything but mundane. As with any Masonic degree, it takes years of revisiting and deliberate contemplation to grasp the lessons and significance of these degrees.

 

It is worth a step back through history to understand how the Lodge of Perfection earned its place in 32ยฐ Scottish Rite Freemasonry. From there, we can examine the degrees and their teachings.

 

The Lodge of Perfection in early Scottish Rite Freemasonry

 

The Scottish Rite began in Paris, France, around 1758 and was soon brought to North America by Henry Francken. In Albany, New York, the Ineffable Lodge of Perfection was chartered and constituted on December 26, 1767, nearly 50 years before the Scottish Rite, NMJ, was born. This body was the first Rite of Perfection on the American continent, which initially offered the 4th through 25th degree.
