Can anyone suggest a good book about the York Rite?

Most of what is covered in books about the York Rite concerns the Capitular degrees . The Cryptic degrees are tougher to come by . I did have some titles but can not for the life of me think of them right now , but if I did I would have Patrick coming after me .

It is really not that big , or as big as it should be I must say , in my area either and we have 2 complete York Rite bodies in my district alone . It is over shadowed by the Scottish Rite , as I have been asked by my own lodge members when I ask them to consider the York Rite , "Will I be a 32nd degree ?" when I say no but the Knights Templar are their equivalent , they say no thank you . Absurd , if you ask me .

For me, it isnt about my "level"....My SR Cathedral is in Indianapolis also...but I can go to the one in Cincinnati to see more degrees...There are actually two Valleys closer to me than Indy...one NMJ and one SJ.....We have a RA about 20 miles from me but never really hear anything from them....from what I have read, the YR is very interesting to me...

Fireman, I found the York Rite degrees to be more compelling than the Scottish Rite ones. YMMV.

Does a bear poop in the woods? Of course! I don't know if I'll make it to Knight though. They don't let me have sharp objects anymore. I tend to stick people with them. (IV's)
