Last night I was initiated into the Council degrees. In October will start into the Commandery degrees. Very much looking forward to it!

Congratulations. Did you get the Super Excellent Master degree?
If not, make sure you do when/if you get the chance. It really completes the story.

I didn't name the degree, and it predates Bill and Ted by several decades. It is and excellent adventure, though!

It's generally conferred once per year because it takes such a large cast. Without it, you don't have the whole story that takes you from the Blue Lodge to the Chapter to the Council.

Because of our location in Northeast Tennessee, we regularly have Masons from 3-4 states come to get the degree each fall.

It is. You have three degrees in the Council: Royal Master, Select Master, Super Excellent Master.

The Super Excellent Master isn't conferred in all states.

Have not gotten it yet. I was informed that, because of the complexities of the ritual, it is only performed twice a year in this area. I will most certainly attend the first chance I get.

When is your next festival?

We just conferred the Super Excellent Master degree this past Saturday. We had a conflict in November when we normally do it, so we did it as a stand alone event. I am not sure yet if we will do it again in November because there has been talk of leaving it on its own.
