"The Craft" is another way of referring to Freemasonry, one which Freemasons often use themselves. It derives from the origin of Freemasonry in the guilds of operative practical stonemasons in the middle ages. These workers were able to shape stone not only into foundation and wall stones, but into reliefs, tracery and statues. They were practical artists, and all practical arts of that kind were called crafts--the craft of cabinetmaking, the craft of metal casting, the craft of joining, the craft of goldsmithing, as well as the craft of Masonry.

Where was freemasonry founded?
Operative freemasonry, the craft of building monumental structures of quarry stone, was developed during the middle ages in Europe. It was called "freemasonry," because the freemasons worked with freestone, a type of quarry stone, and because they were free men, and not serfs or indentured servants. Speculative freemasonry, the fraternity of freemasons, was created in Scotland when William Schaw, the master of works for King James VI, introduced the Schaw Statutes in 1598 and 1599.

Who has more power a 32nd degree mason of the Scottish rite or a knights templar of the york rite?
It depends on what you mean by "power." If you mean the power to read a newspaper through brick walls, or fly through the air unseen for long distances, or bend steel bars with your bare hands, or melt stainless steel with your x-ray vision, then the answer would clearly have to be a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason. But, if you mean the power to get free sodas from any vending machine, or always find an empty parking spot, or the power to get a comfy nice armchair at work, or always get a warning instead of a ticket when you're stopped for speeding, that kind of stuff, then the answer is that kind of power is for Knights Templar only.Degrees in Freemasonry, Scottish Rite, Royal Arch, etc. DO NOT confer power.Even in Blue Craft Freemasonry, the Grand Master, though afforded particular respect, is "On the Level" with all other Master Masons.Ahh, the "Blue Craft" Freemasonry. That's the stuff.There is no degree of Craft Freemasonry higher than that of Master Mason. Although some Masonic bodies and orders have further degrees named with higher numbers, these degrees may be considered to be supplements to the Master Mason degree rather than promotions from it. An example is the Scottish Rite, conferring degrees numbered from 4° up to 33°. It is essential to be a Master Mason in order to qualify for these further degrees. They are administered on a parallel system to Craft or Blue Lodge Freemasonry; within each organisation there is a system of offices, which confer rank within that degree or order alone.Hope this helps
