Discussing the Rites of Freemasonry Volume II by RW Bro Wheeler – Preston-Webb & York Rite

Freemasonry, York Rite, Preston-Webb

Discussing the Rites of Freemasonry Volume II continues the exploration begun in Volume I, moving beyond the Scottish Rite to examine the Preston-Webb symbolic degrees and the York Rite. Together, these traditions provide an important foundation for understanding the development and practice of American Freemasonry.

Presented as both a prequel and sequel to the first volume, this second instalment broadens the reader's perspective on the rites and structures that have shaped Masonic practice in the United States. The work provides an accessible examination of the traditions surrounding the symbolic degrees while placing the York Rite within the wider context of American Freemasonry.

The author, RW Bro Wheeler, is a Past Master of Riverside Lodge #862 in Riverside, Illinois. He has also served as Grand Representative to Burkina Faso and Grand Steward of the Grand Lodge of Illinois, AF&AM. His Masonic activity extends across both the United States and England, bringing practical experience of the Craft in different jurisdictions to the discussion.

For readers researching Freemasonry, the York Rite and Preston-Webb traditions, this volume is a useful companion to Volume I and a substantial addition to a study of American Masonic rites.
