What is the Ancient Egyptian Ritual?

01

Origins

The ritual dates back to 65,000 years and was intiially performed in full silence, in a time when words weren’t needed to express one’s thoughts.

Application

It has currently been very slightly modified to be inclusive, and to bring together the practices of Western Freemasonry in order to highlight the true origins of the Royal Art.

03

Current Usage

All 3 lodges within SGLE utliize exclusively this Ancient Ritual. Whilst SGLE is open to other rituals, it primarily promotes the beautiful usages and themes of the Ancient Egyptian Ritual.
