Portuguese Rite
The Rite of the New Era. A Masonic path of expansion of consciousness, universal in its essence and rooted in the Lusitanian soul.
The Portuguese Rite is concerned less with the popular horizontality of the human part than with the enigmatic verticality of cosmic Man. The imperative need for self-knowledge is the foundation of self-realisation.

A Rite born for this new Era
The Portuguese Rite was consecrated in 2014 in the Grande Loja Legal de Portugal, out of the work of three Brothers — João Pestana Dias, Fernando Casqueira and Luís de Matos — who devoted more than twelve years to the study and refinement of the Rituals.
While keeping the essence of Freemasonry, it renews it with the spiritual mission of the Lusitanian soul. Its ultimate purpose is the Expansion of Consciousness, after the manner of Fernando Pessoa's vision of the Fifth Empire.
