Scottish Rite Freemasons in Washington, DC Southern Jurisdiction -- The Scottish Rite is a fraternity whose purpose is to take good men and make them better. The moral teachings are organized into degrees, numbered one through thirty-three. Drama and allegory are used to emphasize the content and message of the degrees.

I am a proud member of Naval Lodge 4 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and Hiram-Takoma 10 in Takoma Park, Maryland. As part of the rich tradition of Freemasonry, I will try to collect some of the cooler things going on in my Masonic life in Washington, DC, and elsehwere, including the Grand Lodge of Washington and the Scottish Rite of Washington.
