Whenever visiting Lodges, and even though you are very safe with UGLE and GL of Scotland, always check with your own Lodge Sec/Grand Lodge.

Welcome Brother I get why you use the title for the thread and hope you do not take offense when I type that I would would never diminish a Brother or applicant by describing him as "fresh meat". Brothers, even when decribing yourself, are much more important than that. You're more important...

I can't shed any light on this... Hope you are well Bro !

Some interesting and good comment there. Me, I often describe Degrees as "Primers" ("an elementary textbook that serves as an introduction to a subject of study or is used for teaching children to read".) Some would say you need to join Other Orders to understand those Degrees (and there is...

Use Google. It would have found you a site like https://dglea.com/
