In some states, doing the Cryptic Council is not required before Commandery. Minnesota didn't require it for many years; it was just re-added a few years ago, because so few were doing Council.Got you had me confused when you mentioned going from HRAM straight to Commandery
1. Who told you YR is a pre-req for the South?Yeah. But I am glad to hear YR is a pre-req for the South. They said my wife could eat with all of us so thats nice.
Thank for all the work in posting that.No but it does say HRAM degrees are included in the first 3 degrees in ancient craft masonry that could be the reasoning behind the requirement for doing HRAM in order to sit as warden in his jurisdiction you really only need to read the first witch I took down to edit so profane's couldn't see the meaning behind some of our emblems this is the first page View attachment 5262
This was news to me also. That's what makes these forums so interesting.Old school? Ive never heard of an GL requiring that a MM move beyond MM iot be able to lead their lodge?

2. Is it YR or HRA that is the pre-req?

I see a lot of "Jesus" and "Christian" in that book. And people say it isn't Christian or has anything to do with it. I think people should actually read the books they're handed out instead of putting it in a drawer then getting mad at people for telling them what is in the pages. No class.
Brother in US "mainstream" recognized jurisdictions the AF&AM or F&AM matters not. I am a member of 2 AF&AM jurisdictions that trace their lineage to the same jurisdiction and the differences are very noticeable.The Past Master degree, which is given by "- - - - -", you guys are confusing me because some are A.F.&A.M. and some are not, is required to take the Warden station(s). Now this is in West Virginia, mind you. This may not apply to your Grand Lodge. All are different in some way or another.
That was in reference to an amulet
@J.D. "York Rite" is an American invention, so "old school" is subjective. In UGLE, HRA Chapters are part of the Grand Lodge and highly recommended to the Brethren.
If the requirements you've mentioned are true, it appears to be WV specific. Too bad for the Brethren who desire to lead but have no desire to join York Rite.
