The Rite of Memphis aggravated members of "conventional" Freemasonry because it claimed not only to be the true source of Masonic wisdom but to be the ONLY legitimate Masonic system! Its rituals were much more esoteric than those commonly encountered in "regular" Freemasonry. Many colorful personalities allied themselves with this system, including Karl Kellner, Theodore Reuss and Aleister Crowley. In England, the Rite was under the direction of John Yarker, while in the United States, Harvey Spencer Lewis, of AMORC fame, also made use of these degrees. This fascinating book is a reprint of John Yarker's manuscript-"The Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis in 95°-Book Third-Series III Consistory and Grand Council." It includes Yarker's last revision of the 34°-96° rituals inclusive, plus the "secret work.

Incomplete!!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Secret High Degree Rituals of the Masonic Rite of Memphis (Paperback)
Do what thou Will shall be the whole of the Law.
These rituals are those of the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis. However, here they are incomplete. This book covers, however briefly, the 34th through the 97th degrees. A much better and more complete edition has been published by Bishop T. Allen Greenfield, "The Compleat Rite Of Memphis", available through Amazon from Luxor Press. Greenfield's edition contains almost all the material herein and expands beyond it, beginning with the complete signs, words, knocks, grips, acclaimations, & insignia, including the Lodge Opening in the 18th Degree, (Knight of the Rose Croix). This book contains a single page of perhaps relevant material not found in Greenfield's work cited above: a single-page, hand-written Appendix of the 34' Knight of Scaninavia Runic Cypher, the 64' Sage of Mythras Ammanian Alphabet, the 75' Knight Commander of the Lybic Chain, and the 90' Sublime Master of the Great Work. There are no notes or explanations to this page. The book also contains 22 pages of Masonic clip art pertaining to absolutely nothing with the rest of the book. Love is the Law, Love under Will.

Very Interesting,
This review is from: Secret High Degree Rituals of the Masonic Rite of Memphis (Paperback)
A great short look at the beautiful but obscure Masonic Rite of Memphis. A really remarkable peek into Masonic history.
