This weekend, I attended the Valley of Scranton, PA's Scottish Rite Reunion where I received the 10th, 14th, 15th, 18th, 31st, & 32nd Degrees of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. I enjoyed these degrees so much. Before I joined Scottish Rite, I had only been a member of Blue Lodge and RA Chapter. I have always been an advocate that the Appendant Bodies are unnecessary and that Blue Lodge provides all the information a Master Mason needs. Then, I took the Scottish Rite Degrees, and my attitude completely changed. I found something in these degrees that really touched me. Nothing will ever mean more to me than my Blue Lodge Degrees but my Scottish Rite Degrees are a very close second.
I was the exemplar for the 32nd Degree as well, at the request of several brothers who I am friends with being Officers in my Valley. It is truly a day I will never forget and am so excited to start my deep path of education in Scottish Rite Masonry.
How do any Scottish Rite Masons on here feel about their Scottish Rite Degrees? Did it affect you the same way it affected me? Please share your thoughts.
