In 1826 Robert Benjamin Folger, a recent graduate of medical school and a new Master Mason, filled a book with the enciphered Craft rituals of the Rectified Scottish Rite, a high-grade revision of the rite of Strict Observance. well-known in Europe but unknown in the UNited States. His introduction directed thatthe rituals be "committed to the Flames" upon his death. FOrtunatley for Masonic historians instructions were not followed. Folger went on to prepare at least two other books of rituals. A man of tremendous talents, strongpassions, and curious contradictions, Folger was twice expelled from Masonry by the Grand Lodge of New York and participated in at least six clandestine Supreme Councils, but died a Master Mason in good standing. The book gives full transcriptions of all og his rituals, an analysis of their place in Masonry and biographies of Folger and his major contemporaries in his Masonic work.

The Supreme Council for England and Wales, like several other European Supreme Councils, confers only a handful of the 33 degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Rite. In the United States however, the entire series of degrees, from the 4°, Secret Master, through the 32°, Royal Secret, are commonly conferred. This comprehensive guidebook now makes the substance of the "missing degrees" known for the first time. It is the official monitor of the Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A., the original creator of the Rose Croix system (called the "Scottish Rite" in America). It contains more of the ritual of the Ancient and Accepted Rite than any other book. Subjects include: Introductory material for new members; A study on the nature and purposes of Freemasonry and the Ancient and Accepted Rite in particular; The origins of the Ancient and Accepted Rite and its ritual development; The structure of the Rose Croix system, its officers and their duties, and much more. Members' and officers' regalia, rings, jewels, caps, etc. are fully described and illustrated. Rose Croix symbols are depicted and described degree by degree. This book includes large extracts from the rituals and ceremonies of the 4°-32°, as well as the actual lectures for the degrees. Also included is a study of masonic calendar systems, and a collection of early Rose Croix documents (including the complete 4° ritual of 1801), a study of foreign phrases in Freemasonry, Rose Croix Alphabets and ciphers, suggested Masonic reading, and more.

Supreme Council, The/Thirty Three Degrees

Freemasonry`s Royal Secret: The Jamaican `Francken Manuscript` of the High Degrees. By Arturo de Hoyos, 33°, G.C., Grand Archivist and Grand Historian; Introduction co-authored with Alain Bernheim, 33°. What was high degree Masonry like before the Scottish Rite? For the first time ever, the actual rituals of the `parent` of the Scottish Rite are available for study from a rare manuscript! Created by Stephen Morin in the 1760`s, this 25-degree system used many of the most popular and important degrees of the time. By 1764 the high degrees were established in New Orleans, and in 1767 Henry Andrew Francken brought the system to Albany, New York. It was finally absorbed into the Scottish Rite in 1801. This extremely interesting work includes the full and complete rituals of the system, from 4° Secret Master, to 25° Prince of the Royal Secret. Also included are the `detached degrees` of Select Master of 27, Knight of the Royal Arch, and Grand Master Ecose, which appeared at the back of the manuscript. Includes several facsimiles from the original manuscript. Hardbound (6 3/4" x 10") with decorative covers; illustrated; includes index. 317 pages.

Freemasonry`s Royal Secret - The Francken Manuscript

The Scottish Rite Research Society

First-ever authorized reprint of Albert Pike’s first draft of the complete Scottish Rite rituals, from 4° Secret Master, through 32° Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret. In 1855 the Supreme Council appointed a committee of five persons to standardize the rituals of the Scottish Rite. At the time Pike was the only 32° member of the committee, yet he was the only one to complete his task. Working on the rituals for two years he had printed, at his own expense, 100 copies of the ritual, which Albert G. Mackey dubbed the “Magnum Opus” or Great Work. Although the work was never officially adopted, it was a major step forward, and the text served as the basis for subsequent revisions. This valuable work allows us to trace the development of Scottish Rite ritual and philosophy. The lectures, which follow each degree, became the foundation for Pike’s “Morals and Dogma.” This book influenced the development of the Scottish Rite’s rituals in almost every country of the world. The introduction includes a historical overview of the Scottish Rite’s ritual, and discuss the development from pre-1801 (John Mitchell’s rituals) through 1853 (Albert G. Mackey’s rituals). The introduction also discusses the condition of the early rituals, the early Scottish Rite in Louisiana, the Cerneau Grand Consistory/Council, the Supreme Council of Louisiana, the rival Grand Lodges and a new Consistory in New Orleans, the Concordat of 1855, the 1855 ritual committee, and more. Includes a complete facsimile of the original text, and a full plaintext decryption of the secret work. Illustrated. Hardbound (8 3/4" x 11 3/4") with decorative covers designed by Bro. Steven Adams, two-colored half title; 687 pages.
