The Masonic Roundtable - 0549 - Name That Rite

About this episode

The episode features a lively discussion where the hosts rank and review various Masonic rites and their characteristics.

In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we're shaking things up with a lively, interactive panel titled "Name That Rite." Instead of our usual historical deep dives, the brothers are taking the "Masonic family tree" and putting it to the test with a series of superlatives. From debating which rite offers the most "fun" and social fellowship to identifying the most deeply "esoteric" and philosophical paths, we're sharing our unfiltered opinions on the various appendant bodies and clubs of the Craft. Join us for a fast-paced conversation as we rank, review, and reveal what we really think about the many "rooms" in the great Masonic mansion.
