The Degrees
The Degree of Select Master
The entry degree opens with a memorable performance unique to Freemasonry and
sets the scene for the rest of the Order in introducing the crypt below King Solomon's
Temple. The ceremony brings together the degrees of the Craft, the Mark and Royal
Arch Masonry. In completing the degree the new Companion may wear the breast jewel
of the Order.
The Degree of Royal Master
This ceremony of this degree is one of the most beautiful in Freemasonry. The candidate is able to converse with one of the central characters of our lore and receive wisdom directly from them. Specifically we learn about what was lost in Craft Freemasonry and then found in the Holy Royal Arch.
The Degree of Most Excellent Master
The temple is completed and the most skilled Masons are justly rewarded. The ritual is closely connected to Order of Mark Master Masons.
The Degree of Super Excellent Master
This degree concerns the conquest of the Jerusalem and the destruction of
the temple, followed years later by beginning of the construction of the
second temple. This degree links to the Holy Royal Arch. On completing this
degree the candidate may wear the apron of the Order.
