Introduction

The Rite of Perfection is a Rite of French origin comprising 25 Degrees. It is the predecessor of the A∴A∴S∴R∴.

The Sovereign Council was originally founded as a male body because of the Order to which it then belonged. Upon becoming independent on 3 June 2026, it also became an independent, international and mixed body.
