18th Degree
The central and cardinal degree of the Sovereign Chapters within the Memphis-Misraim Rite, the 18th Degree of Knight Rose-Croix (Knight of the Eagle and Pelican) represents the culmination of the hermetic, philosophical and spiritual quest of the Path of Love and Wisdom. Bearing the legacy of the high mysteries of the Christian and initiatory tradition, the ritual regalia of the Rose-Croix calls for absolute textile and symbolic rigour, dominated by the deep contrasts of black and red enhanced with fine gold.
The Art of High Traditional Embroidery: Gold Bullion & Silk
To meet the requirements of the Sovereign Chapters of Memphis-Misraim, our 18th Degree regalia is entirely hand-embroidered by our master craftsmen. The use of fine gold thread and silk on top-choice moirés guarantees striking relief of the symbols (Pelican, Rose, Cross), a perfect hold in Lodge and exceptional longevity.
