Cryptic Masonry is the next step in the completion of the York Rite. A Council of Royal and Select Masters confers the degrees of Royal Master, Select Master, and Super Excellent Master, which endeavor to instruct those aspiring to its mysteries on the preservation and recovery of the Lost Word referenced in the Blue Lodge.
