The Secret Rituals of the Adoptive Rite of Freemasonry

You may have purchased a copy of Albert Pike's book THE MASONRY OF ADOPTION from us, and if so, you'll certainly want to read this book too. These are the original French rituals which inspired Albert Pike to write his book, but he only included the first three degrees. This English translation, done by John Yarker, includes the complete degrees of the Rite-1st Degree Adoptive Apprentice, 2nd Degree Companion, 3rd Degree Mistress, 4th Degree Perfect Mistress, 5th Degree Sublime Elect, 6th Degree Dame Ecossais, 7th Degree Grand Elect, or French Dame, 8th Degree Lady of the Dove, 9th Degree Lady of the Rosy Cross, 10th Degree Adonaite Mistress, 11th Degree Perfect Venerable Adonaite Mistress, 12th Degree Crowned Princess, or Sovereign Mistress. The Adoptive Rite of Freemasonry is an ANDROGYNOUS system, admitting males and females on equal terms.
