=== Degree names === In 2000, the Southern Jurisdiction in the United States completed a revision of its ritual scripts. The current ritual is based upon Pike's, but with some differences. Generally, the current titles of the degrees and their arrangement in the Southern Jurisdiction remains substantially unchanged since the time of Pike. In 2004, the Northern Jurisdiction in the United States rewrote and reorganized its degrees.<ref>''Freemasons for Dummies'', Christopher Hodapp, {{ISBN|0-7645-9796-5}}, Hungry Minds Inc, U.S., 2005. pp. 224–225</ref> Further changes have occurred in 2006.<ref>The Northern Light Magazine, November 2006; p. 6 "Ritual Changes."</ref> During those two revisions, the names of 21 out of the 33 degrees were changed. The list of degrees for the Supreme Councils of Australia, England and Wales, and most other jurisdictions largely agrees with that of the Southern Jurisdiction of the U.S. However, the list of degrees for the Northern Jurisdiction of the United States is now somewhat different and is given in the table below. The list of degrees of the Supreme Council of Canada reflects a mixture of the two, with some unique titles as well: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" ! width="50" |Degree ! width="200" |Southern Jurisdiction<ref>''A Bridge to Light'', by Rex R.
