    List of Masonic Rites

    In Freemasonry, a Rite is a series of progressive degrees


    that are conferred by various Masonic organizations or
    bodies, each of which operates under the control of its
    own central authority. In many cases, such as the York
    Rite, it can be a collection of separate Masonic organizations that would otherwise operate independently. Masonic degree systems frequently belong to the appendant
    bodies of Freemasonry that a Master Mason may join after the degrees of the Blue Lodge.

    Grand College of Rites

    In the United States, the Grand College of Rites focuses on the collection and publication of texts from both
    Masonic ritual not currently used in the United States, and
    defunct quasi-Masonic rituals used by other fraternities
    and societies.[2] One of its stated purposes is the prevention, within the larger community of Freemasonry, of the
    revival or usage of any rituals that are not currently in use
    in the United States.[3]
