Welcome To Ventura Valley Scottish Rite
House of The Temple
The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is
commonly known as the Scottish Rite. It is one of several appendant groups
of the worldwide
fraternity known as Freemasonry. Each Valley has up to four Scottish
Rite bodies, and each body confers a set of degrees. In the Southern Jurisdiction
these are the Lodge of Perfection (4° - 14°), Chapter of rose Croix
(15°-18°),
Council of Kadosh (19°-30°), and the Consistory (31°-32°). The supreme
council confers the 33rd Degree of Sovereign Grand Inspector General.
The Scottish Rite is one of the two branches of Freemasonry in which
a Master Mason may proceed after he has completed the three degrees
of Symbolic or Blue Lodge Masonry. The other branch is known as the
York Rite, consisting of Royal Arch Masons, Royal and Select Masters
and the Knights Templar.
The Scottish Rite Creed - "Human
progress is our cause, liberty of thought our supreme wish, freedom of conscience
our mission, and the guarantee of equal rights to all people everywhere our ultimate
goal."
