Senates of the K.A.E.O.

From Kook Science

Senates of the Knights of the Ancient Essenic Order were the local chapters of the order, equivalent to Masonic Lodges, operating under the jurisdiction of Grand Senates (which, in turn, operated under the Supreme Senate). An individual Senate would conduct the ritual work of initiation through three formal degrees, involving six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four, or thirty-six officers, as well as planning for social events, parades, and other schemes for fraternal and public benefit.
