The Ivory Key

An introductory course in the basics of Scottish Rite history, structure and philosophy designed to help the Scottish Rite Candidate or newly-made Scottish Rite Mason get the most out of their reunion experience.

For over 223 years, the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry has been fullfilling the promise of more light in Masonry.  But with such a long and storied history, a well-defined central structure and a myriad of symbols and lessons to absorb, often a new Scottish Rite candidate can feel overwhlemed.  This short course will help Scottish Rite Candidates and newly made Scottish Rite Masons get the most out of their Scottish Rite Reunion experience. 

Named for one of the significant early symbols in the Scottish Rite degree canon, The Ivory Key course contains several short videos, audio presentations and reading assignments that will allow candidates to have a more complete undertsnaing the nature and structure of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. The course is divided into 4 sections, each with its own fifteen question quiz:

1. Scottish Rite History in Brief
2. The Structure of the Scottish Rite
3. Lodge of Perfection & Chapter Rose Croix Degree
4. Council of Kadosh & Consistory Degrees

There is also a short 4-question final exam.
