Not sure if it is or not but it is certainly ok to wear as a person who has received that sublime degree we talk about. I don't think it'd be a problem. Similarly, the rose cross is specific to one degree in AASR but is also related to other appendant bodies.I've been thinking about getting a skull and crossbones ring. Before I do. Is the skull and crossbones associated to any of the appendent bodies ? Any help would be great .
The skull and crossed bones is simply a memento mori and not tied to any specific degree. As long as the ring has no symbolism from any degrees you haven't received, you will be fine.
Agreed. By the way, cool rings Brother Winter.Not sure if it is or not but it is certainly ok to wear as a person who has received that sublime degree we talk about. I don't think it'd be a problem.

One of my two everyday wear rings is a memento mori style. Be careful. Many YR rings have the skull and cross bones.

Strikes me as very distasteful. But, this is a free country. Wear if you wish.
I'd be happy to hear your explanation of why my momento mori ring is distasteful.
Me too. I liked both rings.I’m curious, as well.
I'd be happy to hear your explanation of why my momento mori ring is distasteful. I belong to a TO lodge and this type of ring is very common.
You should read up on these things, given that your unfamiliar with the subject I’m curious as to how you arrived at it being distasteful.Distasteful is personal and subjective. I don't know what 'mori' is or what 'TO' is. BTW, I'm former York Rite KT.
Firstly, as a former KT I would hope the symbolism of the skull and crossed bones as a powerful Masonic symbol would be readily apparent to you. Even outside of YR the symbol is a very important one. And not just to Masons as it predates even the Romans. I highly suggest reading up on the memento mori.Distasteful is personal and subjective. I don't know what 'mori' is or what 'TO' is.

What's your degree if you don't mind me asking?The skull and crossed bones is simply a memento mori and not tied to any specific degree.

I went through all of the degrees for both Rites. 32nd for SR and KT for YR. But I demitted from both to focus on the Craft Lodge.Thank you for your reply! Can explain what's the significance of active vs non active.
Does this mean you are no longer working on degrees?

Agreed!But I am curious how you can find a subject, such as my ring, distasteful when you admittedly do not know what the symbolism means?
