AUGUSTA CHAPTER ROSE CROIX
15° - 18°
The degrees of the Chapter of Rose Croix are very complex. They attempt to invest the candidate 

with a deeper understanding of Religion, Philosophy, Ethics, and History. The intellectual 

challenges presented in these degrees, is at times overwhelming, and can take years to master. A 

thorough reading of the chapters related to them in Morals and Dogma and in the Legenda and 

Readings is essential to achieve even a basic comprehension of their true meaning.

AUGUSTA COUNCIL OF KADOSH

19° - 30°
The degrees of the Council of Kadosh are chivalric and philosophical, but also contain mystical material. The word "Kadosh" is a Hebrew word meaning "Holy". The complexity of  these degrees cannot be overstated and is exemplified by the number of pages attributed to them in Morals and Dogma. The twenty-eighth degree alone is over a quarter of the 1000+ page tome.

Royal Stewart Tartan

The chosen tartan of the Knights of Saint Andrew of the Valley of  Augusta is the Royal Stewart tartan. With red being the prominent color,  it is one of the most luxurious tartans and is the personal tartan of  Queen Elizabeth II. If that doesn't give you an idea of the history of  the Royal Stewart tartan then I am sure that you will recognize that  Royal Stewart is the tartan worn by numerous military groups. The  history of the Royal Stewart tartan is large and varied as is the  history of tartans in general.
 

What most people might not realize is that the Royal Stewart tartan was a  symbol of the Royal Stewart family in Scotland. The history is  definitely present to lend to the Royal name. The Royal Stewart clan  though started mainly with an ancient family in Brittany of Dol. While  many people might not recognize the name they would recognize many of  the descendants that came from this family. However, the clan did not  move to Scotland until King David I took the throne in Scotland after  the Norman Conquest. This is just the start of the clan ascending to  what we can call today the Royal Stewart clan with the Royal Stewart  tartan.
 

It wasn't until a marriage of King Robert the Bruce's daughter that the  Royal Stewarts became traceable. Granted, it was traced prior to this  time frame, but it became much easier to trace as the males in the  family were royalty in England and Scotland until Mary Queen of Scots  came into power. While she did break up the direct line of power for a  short time frame, the Royal Stewart clan did come back into power to  rule Scotland and England with uninterrupted power until 1714. The  reason why they lost this power was because of the death of Queen Anne.
 

While the Royal Stewart clan is not as powerful today as they once were,  they are still related to the current royal family today with blood  links. In fact King George V once referred to the Royal Stewart tartan  as "my personal tartan". This should tell you that the power still  exists for the Royal Stewart clan if the King refers to the tartan as  his own. The Royal Stewart Tartan is still the official tartan of the  Royal house in Scotland and is more than just a piece of fabric that you  can wear, it also has a very rich history with a royal lineage. Kilts,  sashes and other adornments of Royal Stewart tartan make the Knights of  Saint Andrew of the Valley of Augusta easily recognizable to Scottish  Rite members and visitors at the Augusta, GA Scottish Rite Center.
