Freemasonry is alleged to have a total of ninety degrees when you combine both the Rites of Memphis, and Misraim. The first 33 degrees are those of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, in which the degrees of one, two and three are earned in the Blue Lodge. They consist of the Entered Apprentice, Fellow-Craft, and Master Mason. The word master, in Masonry signifies a man who is considered in the allegorical sense as a “Master Builder”; this means that he has reached the highest degree of skill and knowledge of his craft, which happens to be “wisdom and Gnosis.”

“The word degree, in its primitive meaning, signifies a step. The degrees of Freemasonry are then the steps by which the candidate ascends from a lower to a higher condition of knowledge. The various Degrees are generally called “higher ” because, with the exception of Mark man, to which fellow Crafts may be admitted, they are only conferred on Master Masons.”- Albert McKay 33rd Degree Freemason

“Rite known as the Ancient and Accepted Scottish, practiced in various countries and by all Supreme Councils, com-prising thirty-three degrees. It is believed to have been extended from the Rite of Perfection of twenty-five de-grees to its present number, in Charleston, S. C, in 1802, and mainly arranged, as it now exists in France and else-where, in 1804. Rite known as the Order of Modern Templars, or Knights Templar, comprising three degrees, practiced in the United States of America and Great Britain. As the successor of the secular Templars of the Jesuit system of Strict Observance, this rite was arranged in France in 1804.” –  A General History of Freemasonry: Based Upon the Ancient Documents Relating By Emmanuel Rebold

“The Rite of Misraim arose in 1805, and was once recognized by the A. and A. Rite in Ireland. Ninety Degrees are conferred, culminating in that of “absolute Sovereign Grand Master 90. The degrees are divided into four series, the first of thirty-three symbolic degrees; the second of thirty-three philosophical degrees; the third of eleven mystic degrees; and the fourth of thirteen hermetic and cabalistic degrees. The four series are again divided into seventeen classes.”  – The Freemason and Masonic Illustrated
