Fraternal Order of the Golden Owl House of Brunetti CANDIDATE APPLICATION Today's Date:________________ Name:_______________________________________________ DOB___________________ Email:_______________________________________________________________________ Mailing Address (for brevet):____________________________________________________ Phone (optional):______________________________ University or College Degree(s):_________________________________________________ Profession:___________________________________________________________________ Professional Certification(s):____________________________________________________ Awards/Knighthoods:__________________________________________________________ Heraldic Arms: __Granted __Matriculated __Descent __Assumption __None (Arms are not a prerequisite, but if you would like, our Herald can help you design arms for assumption). I am going to tell you about modern day knights and how to become one. I have been knighted in two different royal orders. Although I had heard of modern day knights before, I had no idea what that entailed. I became fascinated with the topic. First, I asked myself, what are knights today? What is a knight supposed to be? and lastly, what is still lacking? Well, what are knights today? There are three main camps in orders of knighthood. There are orders of merit, orders for charity, and orders of works. Other than being granted a knighthood for merit, the others, if you can get in one, usually cost thousands of dollars annually. I believe a knight is a person who helps others in need even when it may be inconvenient. I believe a knight is truthful and honest. As a matter of fact, I have come up with 7 things that separates a knight from any other person. So what, in my opinion, is lacking? The heart. Because of this heart condition, I have created the “Squire Academy,” a video-platformed school that has seven chivalric lessons and seven corresponding adventures, each one illustrating what a knight should be and practical adventures on how to become one. I did this to make our world a little better, one adventure at a time. Once the Squire Academy is finished, the person is knighted in a formal virtual accolade ceremony and sent a knight’s brevet (a gold bordered, wax sealed, certificate). After being knighted, you will be able to join the exclusive “Ordo Aureum Noctua” group of knights. Although to be a knight in other orders run into the thousands of dollars, I have been able to keep my costs down and provide more. A passage fee of only $200 covers everything. Our top quality neck badge with ribbon, miniature medal with ribbon, and lapel pin can be added to the passage fee to save time if you know that you will be wanting them for $200. All insignia are optional. To sign up, you fill out our candidate form, use a Paypal link for your passage fee that you will be provided, and then you will receive an email video playlist from our Registrar for the Squire Academy. It's that easy. It’s actually never been easier or more meaningful. Do you have what it takes? I hope that you find this endeavor both invigorating and satisfying and that it helps change the world for the better, one knight at a time. Sincerely, Clifford P. Brunetti Prior Clifford P.

The Imperial Order of Muscovites the Rise and Fall of a Fraternal Order
The Imperial Order of Muscovites The Rise and Fall of a Fraternal Order Written by Seth C. Anthony – Curator of the Virtual Museum of Fezology Additional Research Provided by Tyler Anderson In the annals of fraternal organizations, one has group has garnered such a reputation that it has captured the interest of more than one researcher. The Imperial Order of Muscovites, a social organization composed entirely of members of the Odd Fellows, remains one the most interesting and mysterious groups to ever exist. The Muscovites were founded in October of 1893 near Cincinnati, Ohio (the town of Queen City, to be specific.) Initially, there were 20 members of the group, but by May of 1894, the group had blossomed to about 80 participants. While Arabian themes were all the rage for social groups, the Muscovites went with a decidedly different motif – that of Czarist Russia. Little is known about why they decided on this theme, but that curious choice is what makes them so memorable today. They promptly declared the initial body the “Imperial Kremlin” and decreed that all local bodies would be called Kremlins. The president of the group was to be known as the Czar, while the national president would be styled the Imperial Czar. With the basics of the fraternity down, the members began spreading word of their new club. It is thought that the Imperial Order was one of the early adopters of the fraternal insurance movement. When a member of the Order died, his widow would be entitled to a death benefit. In a time when insurance was scare or very expensive, this would have been the only way to purchase such protection.

Masonic and Odd Fellows Halls (Left) on Main Street, Southwest Harbor, C
Masonic and Odd Fellows Halls (left) on Main Street, Southwest Harbor, c. 1911 Knights ofPythias Hall, West Tremont Eden Parish Hall in Salisbury Cove, which may have been a Grange Hall 36 Fraternal Organizations on Mount Desert Island William J. Skocpol The pictures at the left are examples of halls that once served as centers of associational life for various communities on Mount Desert Island. Although built by private organizations, they could also be used for town meetings or other civic events. This article surveys four differ ent types of organizations on Mount Desert Island that built such halls - the Masons, Odd Fellows, Grange, and Knights of Pythias - plus one, the Independent Order of Good Templars, that didn't. The Ancient Free & Accepted Masons The Masons were the first, and highest status, of the "secret societies" present in Colonial America. The medieval guilds of masons, such as those who built the great cathedrals, were organized around a functional craft but also sometimes had "Accepted" members who shared their ide als and perhaps contributed to their wealth. As the functional work de clined, a few clusters of ''Accepted" masons carried on the organization. From these sprang hundreds of lodges throughout the British Isles, well documented by the early 1700s. The first lodge in Massachusetts (of which Maine was then a part) was founded at Boston in 1733, and the ensuing Provincial Grand Lodge chartered the Falmouth Lodge in 1769. Another Grand Lodge in Boston with roots in Scotland chartered the second Maine Lodge, War ren Lodge in Machias, in 1778. Its charter was signed by Paul Revere.

The Odyssey, Book One 273 the ODYSSEY
05_273-611_Homer 2/Aesop 7/10/00 1:25 PM Page 273 HOMER / The Odyssey, Book One 273 THE ODYSSEY Translated by Robert Fitzgerald The ten-year war waged by the Greeks against Troy, culminating in the overthrow of the city, is now itself ten years in the past. Helen, whose flight to Troy with the Trojan prince Paris had prompted the Greek expedition to seek revenge and reclaim her, is now home in Sparta, living harmoniously once more with her husband Meneláos (Menelaus). His brother Agamémnon, commander in chief of the Greek forces, was murdered on his return from the war by his wife and her paramour. Of the Greek chieftains who have survived both the war and the perilous homeward voyage, all have returned except Odysseus, the crafty and astute ruler of Ithaka (Ithaca), an island in the Ionian Sea off western Greece. Since he is presumed dead, suitors from Ithaka and other regions have overrun his house, paying court to his attractive wife Penélopê, endangering the position of his son, Telémakhos (Telemachus), corrupting many of the servants, and literally eating up Odysseus’ estate. Penélopê has stalled for time but is finding it increasingly difficult to deny the suitors’ demands that she marry one of them; Telémakhos, who is just approaching young manhood, is becom- ing actively resentful of the indignities suffered by his household. Many persons and places in the Odyssey are best known to readers by their Latinized names, such as Telemachus. The present translator has used forms (Telémakhos) closer to the Greek spelling and pronunciation.
