Adonhiramite Rite

The Adonhiramite Rite is a Masonic system consisting of 13 grades or degrees, created in 1787 by the German esoterist Baron von Tschoudy (1727-1769).[1] It was published in Tschoudy's book Recueil précieux de la Maçonnerie Adonhiramique (Precious Collection of the Adonhiramite Masonry).[2][3] This rite combines Templar, Rosicrucian and other esoteric influences into a unique Masonic structure.[4][5]
