The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (AASR) is one of several different rites belonging to the worldwide fraternity known as Freemasonry. A rite is a series of progressive degrees that are conferred by various Masonic organisations or bodies that all operate under the control of one central authority. Under the AASR, the central authority is called a Supreme Council.
The thirty-three degrees of the AASR are conferred by several different controlling bodies. The first of these is the craft lodge which confers the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason degrees. The AASR forms one of the more important appendant bodies of Freemasonry that a Master Mason may join for further exposure to the principles of Freemasonry. The AASR builds upon the ethical teachings and philosophy offered in the craft lodge, through dramatic presentation of the individual degrees. Organization The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite in each country is governed by a Supreme Council.
