The degrees of the Council of Royal and Select Masters are
necessary to fully complete your education in Ancient Craft
Masonry. The degrees of our Masonic system are not
chronologically arranged and in the degrees of Royal and Select
Master, which many believe are the most beautiful and impressive
of all, you learn of additional incidents in the building of the
first temple. During these degrees you represent the Master
Builder, Hiram Abiff, and learn why the word was lost and the
secret of its preservation and recovery. The Super Excellent
Master degree, though having no connection with Ancient Craft
Masonry, is a vivid dramatization of truth and fidelity and never
fails to impress those who witness it, either for the first time
or after many times.
The degrees of the Council will enable you to more fully
understand your third degree of Symbolic Masonry and the degree
of Royal Arch.
