Yep. But in some jurisdiction, conformity is required and deviation even in pronunciations will get your ashlar kicked.Fully accepted in England and Scotland.

Ritual varies between grand lodges and even lodges.
Yep!Boy, ain't that the truth!
Absolutely! Just today I received the periodical covering the Valleys and AASR Clubs in Kentucky. In it the Secretary / Registrar of the Valley of Louisville, David Carter, PGM, 33rd Degree, plainly states, as he has on more than one occasion, that as Scottish Rite Masons our first and foremost priority is to our Blue Lodge.the members of the SR are composed of members of said states GL and the members loyalty is to the GL first as you must be in good standing with your GL in order to join the SR.
Also agree! Whenever the national head of the AASR or the national leaders of any of the three bodies that make up the York Rite appear with the Grand Master of a state they show deference to the Grand Master.Even Illustrious Soverign Grand Commander Seale(head of the SR, SJ) must follow the rules of his home GL and is technically subordinate to his GLs Grand Master.

Very true!Technically, practically and actually a WM "outranks" him in his own lodge .
Also true! AASR is an appendent body of Freemasonry.I make the point to eternal readers who think SR is a supreme body over all Freemasons. It's not.
True, since he has to be a Master Mason in good standing in his Blue Lodge in order to belong to the organization that he is the Grand Commander of.You can be Grand Master without having ever having anything to do with SR and if a Craft Sec or bunch of MMs excluded Grand Commander from the Craft, they can. By virtue of that exclusion, he's not longer Grand Commander.
Correct!Nothing technical about it. He is. Brother Seale should also comply with requests and directions a Master presiding in the Craft gives him in that craft lodge. Technically, practically and actually a WM "outranks" him in his own lodge . I make the point to eternal readers who think SR is a supreme body over all Freemasons. It's not. You can be Grand Master without having ever having anything to do with SR and if a Craft Sec or bunch of MMs excluded Grand Commander from the Craft, they can. By virtue of that exclusion, he's not longer Grand Commander. (A Grand Master once excluded a Shrine Potentate.. creates a real mess)
There are no legitimate SR lodges in the US that works in the craft degrees.
The legitimate bodies that exists works only in the 4-33 degrees

I like messing with my ritual guy though.
Say superfeces and eh-feces instead of superfi(sh)ies and ephesus and he goes crazy.
annddd if I really want to screw with him, I suffer from a trifling defect during rehearsal.
PHA(Prince Hall Affiliated)-traces is lineage to African lodge 451 in Boston. It was founded by Prince Hall and chartered by, I believe, Scotland

OkOh wow, but my handle is brother Will because as stated in my initial post, I joined a Scottish Rite lodge a year ago and recently found out that the lodge is a bogus lodge (from my understanding), so I was trying to get a petition for PHA to start my journey the right way.
