Mystic Order Of Veiled Prophets Of The Enchanted Realm
The Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm (M.O.V.P.E.R.), often known as "The Grotto," is a Masonic body founded in 1889 by Herman LeRoy Fairchild and the members of Hamilton Lodge in Hamilton, New York. M.O.V.P.E.R. describes itself as a "social organisation for the Master Mason." Although its members must be Master Masons, M.O.V.P.E.R. "is not and makes no claim to be a part of Symbolic Craft Masonry." History On September 10, 1889, Fairchild, along with other members of Hamilton Lodge #120 in Hamilton, New York, formed a group known as the "Fairchild Deviltry Committee." Membership was limited to Master Masons in good standing. The group's popularity grew, leading to the formal establishment of the Supreme Council, the Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm (M.O.V.P.E.R.), on June 13, 1890. The first "Grand Monarch" (the leader of the order) was Thomas Lemuel James, ex-Postmaster General of the United States. Other founders included Professo ...

Adon N
Adon () literally means "lord." Adon has an uncertain etymology, although it is generally believed to be derived from the Ugaritic ad, “father.” Ugaritic tradition The pluralization of adon "my lord" is ''adonai'' "my lords." Otto Eissfeldt theorizes that ''adonai'' is a post positive element attested to in Ugaritic writing. He points to the myth of the struggle between Baal and Yam as evidence. Some theorize that ''adonai'' was originally an epithet of the god Yahweh depicted as the chief antagonist of "the ''Baʿal''s" in the Tanakh. Only later did the epithet come to be used as a euphemism to avoid invoking the deity's proper name, Yahweh. In Canaanite/Ugaritic tradition, ''ʾadn ilm'', literally "lord of gods" is an epithet of El. However, ''ʾadn'' "lord" could also be an epithet of other gods. When Yam is described as being at the zenith of his might, he is proclaimed ''ʾadn'' or "lord" of the gods. In some Ugaritic texts the term ''ʾadn ʾilm rbm'' meaning "the L ...

The Veiled One
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pronoun ''thee'' ...

Lalla Rookh
''Lalla Rookh'' is a romantic work by Irish poet Thomas Moore, first published in 1817. The title refers to the fictional heroine of the frame tale, depicted as the daughter of the 17th-century Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. It consists of four narrative poems with a connecting tale in prose. The work was a resounding success, and its popularity gave rise to many ships being named "Lalla Rookh" during the 19th century. It also played an instrumental role in making Kashmir (called ''Cashmere'' in the poem) a household name in the English-speaking world. The poem remains one of the great works of orientalist poetry and has been regularly adapted into films, musicals, operas, and other media. Name and background The name Lalla Rookh or Lala-Rukh ( ''laleh rox'' or ''rukh'') means "tulip-cheeked" and is an endearment frequently used in Persian poetry.

Thomas Moore
Thomas Moore (28 May 1779 – 25 February 1852), was an Irish writer, poet, and lyricist who was widely regarded as Ireland's "National poet, national bard" during the late Georgian era. The acclaim rested primarily on the popularity of his ''Irish Melodies'' (with the first of ten volumes appearing in 1808). In these, Moore set to old Irish tunes verses that spoke to a nationalist narrative of Irish dispossession and loss. With his romantic work ''Lalla Rookh'' (1817), in which these same themes are explored in an elaborate Orientalism, orientalist allegory, Moore achieved wider critical recognition. Translated into several languages, and adapted and arranged for musical performance by, among others, Robert Schumann, the Chivalric romance, chivalric verse-narrative established Moore as one of the leading exemplars of European romanticism. In England, Moore moved in aristocratic Whigs (British political party), Whig circles where, in addition to a Salon (gathering), salon perfor ...
