What rite does Praxis Lodge use?
Praxis Lodge practices the French Modern Rite. In particular, this is the Reformed French Modern rite, which is intended to be very close to what was practiced in Europe in the mod 18th century. The French Modern rite is not radically different than the Preston-Webb rite, which is practiced by most all mainstream “Blue” lodges in the US, but it does have some interesting differences. It contains three degrees and much of the same symbolism, but is entirely secular.
