Fellow Craft

[Rogerson785]

Last night I did my second-degree work for Fellow Craft and as I was getting ready my sponsor said, “I understand you wear kilts, well, there is a Scottish Rite lodge in Salina and we’ll just have to get you down there once you finish your third degree”.

[James MacMillan]

Congratulations Brother and - Right on! But I should warn you that the Scottish Rite has little if anything to do with wearing kilts.

I am also happy to say that I am getting ever closer to having enough of my Lodge members ready to do a kilted degree. That should be a photo to cherish!

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

I used to visit my son's lodge in Edinburgh (44, Lodge of St. Luke) and it was not uncommon for most of the Brothers to be kilted. Quite an impressive sight, so look forward to seeing pictures of your kilted degree. (My own lodge in Dublin is, I believe, the only lodge in the world granted a lodge uniform by the Sovereign. And yes, we still wear it.)

Ok, I am completely ignorant about these things, but I enjoy an education when the opportunity is available. You guys are talking about Masons right? What exactly is the function and how does one get involved? Just curiosity on my part.

just ask one to be be one. Check the phone book in your area under Lodges. Or find the Grand Lodge in your state. It is an honorable group and we are not trying to take over the world.

Congratulations Bro. the 3 degrees, are life changing. Take your time enjoy the blue lodge, learn all that you can, not all that there is. That would be impossible, then when the time is wright move on to the scottish rite.
Travel well

This is a very good explanation of the Rite.

Congratulations
The FC is my favorite degree. No doubt you'll have a stack of pamphlets for the appendant bodies when get your MM. I'm in a very small country lodge and my work is there right now but I expect to go Scottish Rite someday (follow my grandfather's path).
We are gathering the kilties here in NH to form a kilted degree team and I'm really looking forward to that.

Oh Yeah! If we do take over the world, I got dibs on Tahiti!
