The Scottish rite
The Scottish Rite is a branch of freemasonry, closely associated with the Scottish Stuart bloodline (Holy Grail bloodline, Diana Spencer). They met in lodges to conspire and reclaim the throne from the protestant House of Hanover. The rivalry between the Stuarts and Hanoverians became the conflict between antients and moderns. It was also developed by Louis XIV (Madame de Montespan as mistress) at the court of Versailles with the legend of Hiram Abiff interpreted as the murder of Charles I.
It has 33 degrees because the one eye pineal gland is on top of the spine with 33 vertebrae. The first 14 degrees, the lodge of perfection, deal with various aspects of the Hiram and Solomon legend, the spiritual death-rebirth of the sun, the pure part of our soul.

represents the fig leaves of Adam and Eve, who have eaten from tree of
knowledge (sensual pleasure, Daath).
2º - Fellow-craft. oath 'binding myself under no less
penalty than that of having my breast torn open, my heart plucked out,
and placed on the highest pinnacle of the temple there to be devoured by
the vultures of the air, should I ever violate the Fellow Craft
obligation'.
3º - Master
The next 12 degrees correspond to the 12 signs of the zodiac; from the fixed signs to the sun the moon and the planets, 4 elements, components of man. 29 of these Higher Degrees (the 4th to the 32nd) are normally taken more-or-less simultaneously over the course of a few days (it is possible to work each degree fully, in stages, but this is not usual). The ritual for these speeded-up degrees (called “communicated” degrees) normally consists a short lecture on the degree, followed by a recitation of the appropriate oath, similar to the first 33 degrees of the Rite of Memphis Misraïm. These degrees, the 4th through 14th, are also called Ineffable Degrees because their principal purpose is the investigation and contemplation of the ineffable name of God: YHVH the 4 kabbalistic worlds/elements, the 4fold nature of the universe.

appointed seven secret masters of the Holy of Holies. sign of silence (sign of Harpo).

mouth on the right triangle. The apron is white, lined and bordered with

Abiram, who, without proof, is said to be one of the murderers of Hiram
Abiff and finding him asleep in a cave. He cuts off his head and brings
it to Solomon by the hair. He is reproved for his haste, but rewarded by
being raised to the Ninth Degree, and given an apron, white with blots
of blood on it, lined and bordered with black, while on the flap is a
bloody arm holding a dagger and on the apron itself, a bloody arm
holding a bloody head by the hair. The cry of 'Vengeance ! Vengeance !'
is repeated over and again by the Master and members in the cave and in
the court. It is designed to harden men and make them vindictive and
callous to deeds of blood. The jewel is a balance with a scroll and
dagger on one plate, and the decapitated head of ignorance on the other.
Word: nekam (revenge).
10º - Elu of the Fifteen CAPRICORN 3 skeletons
representing murderers of Hiram Abiff. Sign of ripping open the abdomen.

Among the Greeks they were Titan, Python and Chimera- Jupiter, seconded by Apollo and Pan. Jubelum, one of the ruffians, was killed in a cave.

to come before King Cyrus, king of Persia. The King relates the details
of a dream to his courtiers, and then permits Zerubbabel to enter.
Zerubbabel requests liberty for the captive Jews and gives a signal
demonstration of his fidelity. The King, being impressed, grants
Zerubbabel and his company permission to return to Jerusalem and rebuild
the Temple. He invests him with a sash, a sword, and a password.
(formerly Jordan Pass): The time is now 16 years after the action of the
previous degree. Zerubbabel now returns to Persia from Jerusalem to
request of King Darius continued support in building the Jewish Temple,
and his aid in driving away the enemies who are frustrating their
efforts. Darius grants the request and appoints Zerubbabel a palace
guard. Before retiring, the King proposes the discussion of the relative
strengths of wine, women, or the king. Zerubbabel and two other guards

The two headed eagle of Scottish rite freemsonry is a symbol of alchemy, of uniting the opposites, the twin brothers Horus and Set, the two kundalini snakes leading up to pineal activation. It originated in Asia Minor (Turkey) where the Nesalim introduced the concept of priest kings, having spiritual and secular power, was used by the Seljuk Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, ruled by German kings (descendants of the Nesalim) and the Habsburgs. It is also the coat of arms of the black nobility family Pallavicini, which is also the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran.
The Scottish Rite has two Supreme Councils that exercise complete control in their jurisdictions. According to some estimates, there are more than 160,000 members of the Scottish Rite in the world. Out of those, only around 4,000 have attained the 33rd degree.
Scottish masonic families Rockefeller and Getty dominated the oil industry. Masonic 33 sodomy symbolism is omnipresent in media and movie propaganda through Scottish rite masons like Disney and Hearst.
