​Chapter of Rose Croix 

Wise Master - Christian Lanot ​ 

The degrees of the Chapter of Rose Croix are very complex. They attempt to invest the candidate with a deeper understanding of Religion, Philosophy, Ethics, and History. The intellectual challenges presented in these degrees are times overwhelming and can take years to master. A thorough reading of the chapters related to them in Morals and Dogma and in the Legenda and Readings is essential to achieve even a basic comprehension of their true meaning.

15° – Knight of the East, or of the Sword

16° – Prince of Jerusalem

17° – Knight of the East and West

18° – Knight Rose Croix.

 

Council of Kadosh 

Norman Tondares - ​​​​​​​Commander

The degrees of the Council of Kadosh are chivalric and philosophical, but also contain mystical material. The word “Kadosh” is a Hebrew word meaning “Holy”. The complexity of these degrees cannot be overstated and is exemplified by the number of pages attributed to them in Morals and Dogma. The twenty-eighth degree alone is over a quarter of the 1000+ page tome.
