The Lodge of Perfection is one of four coordinate divisions that exist in Scottish Rite.  The presiding officer is called the Thrice Potent Master.  The degrees that are performed are known as the Ineffable Degrees and are composed of eleven lessons or "degrees" (4° - 14°).  In these eleven lessons, the candidate will observe many references, scenes and characters which recall and amplify the three Symbolic degrees.

The Ineffable Degrees, from the Fourth to the Fourteenth inclusive, are conferred in a Lodge of Perfection. They are called "Ineffable" because they are concerned with the ineffable or unutterable Name of God and with man's eager quest for the True Name. In these eleven degrees there is a profound unveiling of the character and purposes of God - that high and holy One, who inhabits eternity, but dwells with him also that is of contrite and humble spirit.

In formal ritual and in drama, ten of these degrees, based upon legends of the Solomonic era, elaborate upon the teachings of Symbolic Freemasonry and apply them to practical situations that are faced in everyday life. The Fourteenth degree summarizes what has been taught and is a moral and philosophical climax.

Important practical lessons are taught in the eleven Ineffable Degrees - Secrecy and silence in all confidential relationships; Respect for a Brother's memory, The duty of healing dissentions; Justice and Mercy in judging others; Fair dealing in business by Management and Labor; The peril of excessive zeal even in a good cause; The honest collection of taxes based upon a just assessment; The mastery of difficulties and dangers in our progress toward Perfection; The honor of Freemasonry is in the keeping of those who seek Perfection in character and who reverence the Ineffable Name of God.

The Lodge of Perfection is not only the beginning of your journey, it is here that the spirit of the Valley is imbedded into its members.  The brotherly love and fraternal spirit is felt here by all who participate.
