Hi brother companions,
I finished my York Rite degrees on Saturday, and am now a brother sir knight among you. The Order of the Temple was profoundly beautiful, and probably my favorite thing I've seen in Masonry thus far.
Now that I've been bombarded with 9 new degrees ("Super Excellent Master" is only done once a year in our jurisdiction, so I didn't get to see that), what would you all recommend as far as York Rite reading goes?
So far I'm most interested in the Chapter degrees, as they formed a really nice bookend or epilogue to the Blue Lodge degrees. There doesn't seem to be as much written about the 4th through 7th degrees though. I'm especially interested in old books that I can get off eBay - you know, leather-bound things that'll look nice in my library
I guess if I wanted thick philosophical books, I should have joined Scottish Rite :001_tt2:
