What the Grotto Teaches |
| While it is as Prophets we open the portals of the Enchanted Realm to Master
Masons, we are nonetheless loyal to Masonry. We carry with us the solemn lessons we
have learned within the Lodge and we are guided by precepts of Masonry while we revel in
the good cheer of the Prophets. The Order of Veiled Prophets, while proclaiming the loyalty of its members to Masonry, makes no pretense of being a masonic Order, nor does it claim to confer a Masonic Degree. It is a social organization for the Master Mason and all such are welcome to our Enchanted Realm. It encourages renewed interest in the Blue Lodge Field...its activities and attendance. While it is not and makes no claim to be part of Symbolic Craft Masonry, we ever bear in mind that our membership is composed entirely of Master Masons. It's membership is exclusively Masonic and it's purpose is to supply the element of play in such a way that work and play will be blended withour marring the solid beauty of Masonry. The GROTTO is said to be essentially Masonic in character. |
