Orders Of Wisdom
The Orders of Wisdom (French: ''Ordres de Sagesse'') is the contemporary designation for the high Masonic degrees of the French Rite. Originally designated as ''Ordres supérieurs'', they were published in 1801 in a compendium entitled ''Le Régulateur des Chevaliers maçons'' (The Regulator of Knight Masons) ''or Les Quatre ordres supérieurs'' (Four Superior Orders)'', according to the regimen of the Grand Orient''. The Orders of Wisdom were codified by the Chamber of Grades and the Grand Chapter General of France between 1783 and 1785 under the impetus of Alexandre Roëttiers de Montaleau, and subsequently integrated into the Grand Orient de France (GODF) on February 17, 1786. The rituals of the Orders of Wisdom continue the degree of "Freemasonry#Other degrees, orders, and bodies, master", extending and deepening a symbolic and initiatory journey that commenced in the "blue lodge." The Orders of Wisdom were originally divided into four initiatory and philosophical orders and a ...

High Masonic Degrees
In Freemasonry, the first three Masonic degrees constitute the fundamental degrees in all Rites they are called Blue Lodge of Craft degree. Over time, various systems of optional "high Masonic degrees" or "Side Degree" have been added to these three fundamental degrees, practiced in workshops known as perfection lodges or chapters. History Early Origins (Pre-1717) The earliest documented form of Freemasonry emerged from the operative masonic guilds of medieval Europe. During this period, it is mostly admitted that the craft maintained a simple two-degree system that directly reflected the practical organization of stonemason's work. Although some traditions such as the Operative Masons, maintain that the craft contained seven degrees before it was reduced to two. Some tradition maintain that the third degree legend was part of the second degree, while some other claim that it was a mystery played during feasts. * Apprentice, Entered Apprentice or Apprentices to the Cra ...

If the humerus bone of the wing remains attached, the cut is called "chicken cutlet" (). The same cut is used for duck () and other birds. Chicken supremes can be prepared in many ways. For example, supremes ''à la Maréchale'' are treated ''à l'anglaise'' ("English-style"), i.e. coated with eggs and breadcrumbs, and sautéed.

In some parts of the world, and in the Droit Humain, it is a concordant body and oversees all degrees from the 1st to 33rd degrees, while in other areas, a Supreme Council oversees the 4th to 33rd degrees. It is most commonly referred to as the Scottish Rite.

Derived from Masonic manuscripts, founding texts or various biblical legends, they are present in all Masonic List of Masonic rites, rites and ranks.

Some myths, however, have had no real posterity, but can still be found in some high grades, or in the symbolism of some rituals. Others borrow from the medieval imagination or from Mysticism, religious mysticism, and do not bother with historical truths to create legendary filiations with vanished guilds or o ...
