This short course is meant to provide an Introduction to the Capitular Degrees for those who have decided to take the next step on Freemasonry, following the Three Blue Lodge Degrees. There are many excellent books about the symbolism of the Chapter, but many of them are about the English (or so-called 'Domatic') system, and don't make easy reading for an American reader. There are also number of impressive Monitors, written by great men and Masons. Thomas Smith Webb and Albert Gallatin Mackey are but two of these luminaries. However, again these serve more as reference books to those who are already familiar with the Rituals and their meaning. It is hoped that this book fills the gap for the modern Companion who needs a little help to understand the Capitular environment. For this reason this course, in addition to giving an overview of the Degree, also looks at practical topics, such as the organization of a Chapter, Grand Chapter, the Constitutions, the Charities, and General Grand Chapter.

Education & Teaching

Schools & Teaching

Rose Circle Publications

The Capitular Development Course is designed to educate Royal Arch Masons, in particular those who are members of the American or York Rite practiced in the United States and a number of other countries around the world. While the book may certainly be read on its own, having a copy of the Holy Bible to hand would assist in understanding much of the symbolism. This book is also intended to be used as a part of a course, run by a Facilitator, when a copy of the State Capitular Rituals should be used to accompany this course. Upon completion of the course, the Companion may consider himself both well versed in the messages and symbolism of the Capitular Degrees, and qualified to pursue his own further education. To this end, a number of books and courses recommended for further study are given at the end of this book.

Capitular Development Course (GGC Edition)

Enlightenment Man & Mason (Renaissance Man & Mason)

A sequel to 'Renaissance Man & Mason', this book primarily focuses on the Enlightenment period, particularly in continental Europe. Focusing therefore on the 1700s - 1800s, it provides the same eclectic mix of topics as in the previous book. However, the number of papers is reduced from 22 to 8, and therefore more in depth in their approach. The topics range from an in-depth look as an image in a King James Bible to an extensive exposition of the Black Eagle Rose Croix rituals of J.B. Willermoz, including the first English translation of these rites. It is hoped the book will appeal to any reader of the first in the series, as a means for private study or for use in Book Clubs, which was a major use of the first volume. It is worth noting that the first book contained 22 Chapters - the span of the Hebrew alphabet, while this contains 8, the number of perfection in Saint-Martin's system! 
Chapter 1: The Story Behind the Most Famous Image of King Solomon's Temple 
Chapter 2: The Magician, The Mystic and the Mason - the Unlikely Origin of the Scottish Rectified Rite 
Chapter 3: A Discourse on Numbers (Part 1 - History) 
Chapter 4: Enochian, or How to Speak with Angels 
Chapter 5: An Introduction to Martinism and its Spiritual Relationship to Freemasonry 
Chapter 5: The Kabbalistic Tree of Life - The Soul of the Rosicrucian Masonic Order 
Chapter 7: Did Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin Influence the Scottish Rectified Rite? 
Chapter 8: The Degrees of the Black Eagle Rose-Croix (translated into English for the first time)
