This evening was the rehearsals for Valle Crucis Rose Croix Enthronement meeting.
I did not think it would happen, Our Sovereign Elect was involved in a very bad cycling accident so will not be able to attend or be enthroned, so our existing MWS will be staying in place for a second year.
Unfortunately his mother passed away at the weekend, so I was not expecting him to be down tonight. He actually did turn up, showing his commitment to the chapter. and we were able to have a rehearsals, and get some stuff sorted out ready for Friday.

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.
