Lodge of Perfection

The degrees, the 4°-14°, styled the Lodge of Perfection, are called the Ineffable Degrees because their principal purpose is the investigation and contemplation of the ineffable name of Deity. 

The word “ineffable” means something that is sacred and should not be spoken. As used in these degrees, it refers to the belief of ancient Judaism that the name of God was not to be spoken. 

This concept forms a metaphor for the Scottish Rite teachings that all the essential qualities of deity are incapable of description in language. As we ascend the ladder of High Masonry, the three focus topics for this House will be, The Legend of Hiram, The Concept of Deity and The Lost Word.
