This morning I attended Rhodri Fawr Chapter Rose Croix. Since this was the Enthronement meeting, it was held at Elwy Hall Rhyl.
At the start of the meeting I stood in as the Outer Guard, and at the end as the 1st General. All around it was a enjoyable (albeit short) meeting. I have even agreed to go back onto the ladder, and took the role of Steward. It will be a fair few years before I make it to the chair, but at least I am back on the ladder.
So that is two meetings down, both of which have been Rosicrucian based, and oddly even though they are 2 different halls it was the same chef.

The Ancient and Accepted Rite (Rose Croix)
The Ancient and Accepted Rite originated in France in 1754 and worked in the USA where a Supreme Council was formed in 1801.
The Supreme Council for England and Wales was established in 1845 under a patent from the Supreme Council of the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States of America. The Rite consists of its own 33 Degrees entirely separate and distinct from any other Order.
The three Craft Degrees are accepted as equivalent to the first 3 Degrees of this Rite. Candidates for Perfection are taken from the 4º to 17º Degrees by name only, prior to being made Excellent and Perfect Princes Rose Croix in a detailed and beautiful 18º Degree ceremony. This is the only degree permitted to be worked in a private Rose Croix Chapter. Degrees above the 18º are awarded on merit after a brother has passed the Chair of his Chapter.
