The 33rd Degree the of Coronation, the lastis act the Scottish Rite Initiation Drama. The 33rd Degree is really the Coronation of the Hermetic and Templar Templar Symbolism Symbolism of High Masonry, and as such it must be conceived. One of the traditional symbols of Sapientia was always the Eagle.

Sapientia “The Supreme Wisdom

over Council the Works presides of the Supreme and illuminates it with its rays.” The

notion of Sapientia is entirely equivalent to the Gnostic Sophia.

The Scottish Rite is closely linked to Gnosticism and the achievement of Gnosis. At the 33rd Degree, such Gnosis should be fully and completely attained. Hence the term SAPIENTIA, used as one of the Symbolic words of the Degree.
