How many people here are members of the Scottish Rite Research Society and/or get Philolethes?

    No. I read the stuff from the Victoria Lodge of Research (of Our Const) whenever I can – but we rehearse once a month on the same night they meet ..

    Although not a member of a reading circle (we have one of those too) nor research body – I often trawl over their Internet sites and also people e-mail me a lot of good stuff to read.. .

    I am a member of the by me started Maconnic Study Group De Schakel. Which studies the initiation rites of the Blue Lodges and all what comes with it. At the moment we are working on a project over the Cityhall of Amsterdam which is now the Royal Palace.

      I am a member of the Pennsylvania Lodge of Research. Most of my Masonic study is done on my own.

        I am a member of the Grand College of Rites which collects and studies defunct ritual. It is an interesting read sometimes. I am also participating in the Master Craftsman course offered by the Southern Jurisdiction of the AASR.

        I am giving thought to joining the SRRS....

          I'm a member (via snail mail) of the Guthrie, Oklahoma "College of the Consistory" program which so far isn't anything special but I'm not very far into it and it promises to be a long course. I've been looking into the Master Craftsman course, how do yoo like it? Not a member of the SRRS, but I've been considering joining, if nothing else because I'm a prett big fan of the articles I've read in Heredom.

            So far the Master Craftsman course is interesting. You utilize the "Ritual Guide and Monitor" by De Hoyos ( a huge bible-like tome that is worth the cost of the course alone) and "A Bridge to Light". The course is self-directed and quizes are done at your pace. I have found it very informative - it deals with the degrees of the AASR specifically (and the Southern Jurisdiction). It has definitely been worth the $35 for the course.
