What are your favorite degrees/bodies in the various orders of Freemasonry?
Mine are:
The EA (lodge) degree, Royal Arch (chapter), and Zelator (SRICF). The EA is the introduction to the fraternity. I think you could study this degree for life and hardly scratch the surface. The EA degree and Zelator seem like cousins who are as close as brothers.
The Royal Arch is the "capstone" of the story you started as an EA. Deep down I just felt joy when going through the ritual that I can't really explain.
As a Christian Freemason Zelator was the most moving of all the degrees I've had. It had a different feel than the Order of the Temple in the Commandery, which is also a powerful order/degree. The elements of the degree reminded me so much of the EA degree but from a Christian outlook.
