Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, also known as M.O.V.P.E.R. or The Grotto, the subordinate bodies are called Grottoes (much like Lodges in Freemasonry).

[edit] Overview

This order was founded by LeRoy Fairchild. In the summer of 1889 who, along with a group of Master Masons, member of Hamilton Lodge #120 at Hamilton, New York, met to organize and hold informal meetings. What this group was seeking was fun and good fellowship. At their meeting on September 10, 1889, they decided to honor the founder by calling it "Fairchild Deviltry Committee." It was decided that this organization be confined to Master Masons in good standing.

The idea of the Order proved to be attractive and many distinguished Masons joined. The Order could no longer be confined to any one locality and in response to requests other groups were formed On June 13, 1890 the Fairchild Deviltry Committee duly established and formed the Supreme Council, Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm. Its purpose mainly was to add in greater measure to the Masonic fraternal spirit the charm of radiant cheerfulness and to maintain within the fraternity an impetus of royal good fellowship.

It is a social organization for the Master Mason and all such are welcome to join the Enchanted Realm. It encourages renewed interest in the Blue Lodge Field. While it is not and makes no claim to be a part of Symbolic Craft Masonry, they ever remember that it is comprised solely of Master Masons.

Members are distinguished by the black fez with the red tassle and a Mokanna head in the middle.
