Who is a secret master
The 4th Degree marks the beginning of practical membership and progression within the system, as the official Scottish Rite website states. A Mason who reaches this stage holds the title of Secret Master.
In early ritual practice, examination for entry into the degree required a candidate to demonstrate proficiency in the three Craft degrees and the secrets of the Chair, as an article on the Scottish Rite website explains. Symbolically, a Secret Master receives an ivory key during the conferral of the 4th Degree, as an article on the Scottish Rite website records.
