From Kook Science

The Supreme Senate of the Knights of the Ancient Essenic Order was the executive chapter of the entire order, generally responsible for organisation of local and Grand Senates, as well as producing literature on behalf of the order, such as the Knights' Review. Its officers were elected at national conventions, which were typically held once every year or two.

Supreme Ruler

The founder of the order, Charles J. Weatherby, was Supreme Ruler from its inception until the position was abolished on 26 April 1898 by the membership.[1]
