Lodge of Perfection
The first eleven degrees of the Ancient Accept Scottish Rite, the 4th through the 14th, are conferred in a Lodge of Perfection. These eleven degrees are called the Ineffable Degrees, because their primary purpose is the investigation and contemplation of the Ineffable, or unutterable, Name of Diety.

The Degrees are:

Many of the degrees are dramatic plays from the Solomonic era, each of which teaches a principle lesson
