  • The Advent of the Cryptic Degrees
    THE ADVENT OF THE CRYPTIC DEGREES By Comp. E.J. Frew Over the years there have been countless Masonic Degrees created and a very large number of these were invented in France to meet a demand for more light on the Old Testament story. Many of these degrees usually became known as "So-and-so's Rite" and lasted no longer than the lifetime of the author, who, being seized by a particular legend in current literature, had concocted a ritual for his personal profit. Others, of less ephemeral appeal, were carried to the United States in the wake of the Rite of Perfection and eventually found their way to Great Britain. Some of these have been absorbed in existing sovereign obedience’s, e.g. 13 in the A. & A. Rite, two in the Allied Masonic Degrees and four in the Cryptic Rite. In case any Cryptic Mason is getting ready to contradict this number, at this time in history the four degrees were, Most Excellent Master, Royal Master, Select Master and Super Excellent Master. The origin of the degrees is traced back to the middle of the 18th century. W.J. Hughan, in a note written before 1891 says, "Cryptic Freemasonry has been worked in England, more or less regularly from about 1760, in one form or another, as the degrees are in part, nearly allied to some of the Ancient and Accepted Rite. For those not so advanced in Masonic knowledge this rite is known as 'The Rose'. Of later years these degrees seem almost to have been lost sight of, and the knowledge of their working nearly, if not wholly, died out save in Scotland under the wing of the 'Early Grand Encampment'." He also has written in the Leicester Lodge of Research "The degrees of Royal and Select Masters are said to have been introduced into the United States of America about 1761, and soon became popular in that country.

  • Freemasonry Unites Behind Demolay Four Years AFTER the Death of The
    Freemasonry Unites Behind DeMolay Four years AFTER the death of the Founder, Dad Frank S. Land, an historic moment for the Order of DeMolay took place on February 21, 1963 in Washington, D.C. Ten presiding officers of national and international Masonic Bodies signed a “Declaration of Principles” in support of the Order of DeMolay. The signing took place in special ceremonies for the purpose, at the House of the Temple of the Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Masonic Jurisdiction. At that time, DeMolay had over 170,000 active members in 2500 Chapters across 12 countries. This provided a huge boost to DeMolay’s prestige and desirability to Masons throughout the world. Participating were the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, the Scottish Rite Supreme Councils of the Northern and Southern Masonic Jurisdictions, the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, the Genera Grand Council of Royal and Select Master Masons, the Shrine of North America, the Grotto Supreme Council, the Red Cross of Constantine, the Royal Order of Scotland and the Conference of Grand Masters of North America. Basically, the declaration pointed out the faith and interest that was manifested in DeMolay, and pledges of individual support as well as organizational support were made. The pledged support included both moral and financial, with no intention or desire on the signers’ part to determine DeMolay policy. On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of DeMolay, the heads of these organizations reaffirmed these beliefs by again signing the Declaration on March 18, 1969 in Kansas City, Missouri, during the annual Supreme Council session.

May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Dear Sir Knights and Cousins, I greet you with a traditional Irish blessing, and I pray that you are safe and healthy during these unique times. While this year has been challenging, there have been many special events that have strengthened our hope for a bright future of not just sustainability and continuity, but also of growth and Light. This publication is being stylized as a Knightly News Magazine, as it places emphasis on vignettes that promote a deeper understanding of our Knighthood with thought provoking articles. Education being one of the pillars of our Mission Statement, I believe that a proper application of what we learn and share will help to keep our councils vibrant and prospering. I firmly believe that it is the duty of each Cousin to impart what they have learned to others, sharing their Light and strengthening this Order of Knighthood. A lot of effort has gone into this publication and I extend my appreciation to our contributing writers and to M.E. Kevin B. Sample, who published this edition of the Knightly News Magazine.
