The Order is a secret society, analogous to Masonry but in no way antagonistic to it, nor to the various rites and ceremonies of Masonry. The Order is claimed to date back to the second century A.M. Authentic chronicles mention the Zuzimites in the year 2097 A.M., or about 3809 years ago, as being "a people great and many." (Gen. xiv, 5.) There are 51 recognized degrees, subdivided into several series. The first three are Neophyte, Graduate, and Fellow; these constitute Zuzimitism proper. The next two degrees constitute Marked Zuzimitism. Then the series are known as Celestine Zuzimites. Then follow the series Arch, Acetasite, Cabbelite, and Armite Zuzimites; and finally Zam Zuzimites, or Zamzumins. They have their Tents, and Grand Tabernacles. Seven members can organize a Tent. The Grand Secretary's address is 14 Geneva Road (Elm Park), Fairfield, Liverpool, England."
