Related Orders

No matter how ambitious or interested you may be to find out what other Orders entail, it is essential that your masonic focus remains with the three Ancient Degrees, which are found in your Mother Lodge - in this case; Lodge Hozier Douglas Water No. 912 within the Craft.

Without your Craft lodge, it is impossible for your masonic journey to begin. You can be the Grand Master Mason of Scotland or hold the highest office in many other related Orders, but your journey will always start in a Craft lodge.

Only Master Masons (those who have been through their first 3 degrees), who have served the minimum requisite period and built up their masonic understanding will be able to apply to join the Holy Royal Arch. Most other related Orders require that their prospective members be qualified Holy Royal Arch Companions (members are referred to as Companions in the Arch - not Brethren).

The related Orders named below don't have links because to qualify for admission into these groups, you must already be a Freemason. There will be several members of your lodge who can give you further details and help you understand these Orders.
