The Porch & The Middle Chamber- The Scottish Rite Blue Degrees

A Course Exploring The Scottish Rite Blue Degrees

The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is a complete system of Masonic degress from the 1st through the 32nd degrees. However, in the United States, the right to confer the first three degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry are reserved for Grand Lodges, alsmost all of them using the York Rite "Webb" work. Through the rest of the world however, the "blue" degrees of the Scottish Rite are communicated more than any other; in the United States these degrees are all but unknown to most Masons.

In this course, students will be introduced to the Scottish Rite Blue degrees through the book Albert Pike’s The Porch & The Middle Chamber: The Book of The Lodge by Arturo de Hoyos, 33° Grand Cross. Students will also explore the history of the development of these degrees, examine early American craft lodge rituals and read and study a complete monitor of the Scottish Rite Blue degrees as completed by Albert Pike.
