Best Answer

The Scottish Rite is a series of 29 supplementary degrees which a Master Mason can take to pursue further researches in Freemasonry. Many of these degrees are of a specifically Christian character. The system was created in the United States in 1801, although the first 11 degrees can be traced to an earlier French system from the late 18th century.

Pike who was head of freemasonry sat astride a phallic throne?

Albert Pike was not the head of Freemasonry, but only of part of the Scottish Rite, a collateral organization. As for sitting on a phallic throne, that's something I can't visualize and don't want to try! There is no reason to believe such a story.
