"Early Scots Masonry, The Blue Lodge, and the Higher Degrees" by Bro. Arturo de Hoyos

Grand Masonic Day 2026 took place several weeks ago. We were pleased to welcome Arturo de Hoyos to the podium on his own, after a first joint presentation with Josef Wages.

Arturo de Hoyos is Grand Archivist and Grand Historian of the Supreme Council, 33rd Degree, Southern Jurisdiction, and an executive officer at the Scottish Rite's headquarters, The House of the Temple, in Washington, D.C.

He is the author, editor, and translator of more than 50 books and articles, and is considered America's foremost scholar on the history, rituals, and symbolism of Scottish Rite Freemasonry and most other Masonic orders, rites, and systems.

We join the event where Arturo de Hoyos presents "Early Scots Masonry, The Blue Lodge, and the Higher Degrees." Slides are available on our YouTube channel.
