What's the difference between scottish rite and york rite?

>>15555577
Scots wear kilts and have tartan aprons and bowties. You're also allowed to wear a dirk.
York Rite is defunct since the compact of 1813, but it was normal English Rite combined with a few other degrees accepted by the Antients all practiced in the one Lodge.

Degrees. Scottish rite 33 degrees. York rite Idk??

>>15555577
It's an American term for two different groups of degrees about different stuff.

>>15555577
who cares rite?

>>15555577
different degrees and Masonic ritual garments/jewelry but still the same end goal.

>>15556058
Lel

Scots have more kilts and drink more scotch. Aside from that, they're the same group of Jews and liberals.

So sex cult faggotry? Butt ramming, corn holing, cock gobbling faggots

they don't believe in the narrow path essentially.

>>15556315
That pic isn't even wholly true for America. It ignores all the other degrees and Orders.

>>15556327
its a bit old, why don't you enlighten everyone since you're a super master mason and know everything and we don't
show us some charity of knowledge

>>15556341
Sorry, didn't mean to sound dickish. Just that that and the pyramid one exclude stuff like the AMD, SRICF, HRAKTP, Knight Masons, and so on. There isn't everything in America, but there is a lot, and those types of pics seem to do them a disservice.
It's also structured poorly, implying that they're equal paths, and somehow above the Craft, when really they're just two of many optional groups, several of which are above those two as well.

they have different degrees

Scottish rite is usually worked in one extra meeting after you are raised, York rite is a load of side degrees thought of in a hierarchy. So if you go York route, you join lots of things, Scottish rite just craft, arch and Scottish rite lodges. I joined in England, we don't have either route, masonry is just craft and arch. Other non masonic degrees are offered, my fave was mark degree. Scottish and York rites are mostly American I think.

What do you know about German freemasons?

>>15561961
Same as England for the most part. There are several Grand Lodges working together with all the different rites. So one might do American Rite because of the soldiers after WW2, most do English Rite but German, and a couple do Swedish Rite.

>>15561961
They use a slightly different ritual called the Schroder Ritual.

I've been to a lodge in South Australia, Lodge Concordia that uses the Schroder ritual and it mostly the same but has it's differences, can't remember what they were though.

Here's some links about MW Brother Friedrich Ludwig Schroder.

wtf am i reading? my grandpa was a free mason but i don't know anything about them. what do they do? can anyone join? only men? only descendants of other free masons?

South Australia really does rock for the diversity of Lodge rituals.
The rest here really could take a leaf out of their book, rather than being total Nazis and trying to elbow out even Scottish Rite and Irish Rite.

>>15562111
Free men, 18+ with faith in God, and no criminal convictions.

I'm 23 now and was really considering joining the masons.
I'm not too sure yet because I have the feeling that if you join them you are never going to be able to leave.
I have read queit some stuff on them but I just want to know more.
Please share some interesting information.

>>15562139
You can leave whenever you want.

You can leave when ever you like, many people have left. All you have to do is stop paying your dues for a while and they won't let you in.

Scottish Rite only requires belief in a higher power.

York Rite is explicitly for believers in teh Judeo-Christian God.

What do you actually DO at freemason meetings?

Just shoot the shit?

It sounds boring as hell.

>>15562363
Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite is only for Christians too.
York Rite is just any belief until you join the Templars, which is only for Christians.
Jews are excluded from both because of that.

>>15562368
Yea, just sit in a room and shoot the shit for two hours each month.
That's why there's six million members
