The Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite

The Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite is a branch of Freemasonry that offers a series of additional degrees beyond the basic Masonic degrees, enhancing members’ understanding of moral principles, history, and philosophy. It emphasizes moral development, charity, and brotherhood through a structured system of 33 degrees, each exploring deeper spiritual and ethical lessons. Members often join to deepen their philosophical insights and commitment to personal growth, while maintaining the core values of Freemasonry: integrity, charity, and fraternity. The Scottish Rite is open to Freemasons seeking further enlightenment and a broader understanding of Masonic teachings.
