Odd Fellows
The Odd Fellows was once the largest fraternal organization in the world. When new lands were still being explored and new nations were forming, as governmental policies were being formulated, and pioneers began to conquer new lands, the Odd Fellows were an important part of that evolution. In fact, Odd Fellowship contributed greatly in the development of many towns, cities, states, provinces and countries.Moving westward with their pioneer wagons, the early Odd Fellows built the largest buildings in new communities which soon became social centers where people met to relax and to exchange the latest news and ideas. Lodges also provided help to members during those times when governments pro...
Odd Fellows Encampment
This illustrated book aims to provide the reader a brief history of the Encampment, along with an introduction to its degrees, symbols, teachings and regalia; also covering the organizational structure and functions of the officers of the Encampment and the Grand Encampment. The Encampment, also known as the Patriarchal Odd Fellowship, is a higher branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows that confers three additional degrees to Degree of Truth or Third Degree members in good standing: Patriarchal Degree, Golden Rule Degree and Royal Purple Degree. The degree work in this branch is a result of evolution from additional degrees that were once conferred only to Past Grands (past presiding officers) of an Odd Fellows Lodge and only during sessions of Grand Lodges. In 1827, these three additional degrees were eventually bestowed in a separate branch called an Encampment. The degrees are based on the lessons of Hospitality, Toleration and Fortitude. The motto is Faith, Hope, and Charity.

But this does not aim to teach the rituals itself or any of its signs and passwords. This does not also aim to supplant the Code of General Laws but only to highlight some of the generally accepted rules within the IOOF. Evolving from the traditions of the English craft guilds and journeymen associations nearly 300 years ago, the name Odd Fellows refers to a nu...
Ancient Rites of Odd Fellowship
Odd Fellowship is one of the oldest fraternal societies in the world. Recently, its obscure history and rites have been subject of inquiry and discussion by members, researchers, scholars and historians alike. However, many of these people complain that access to historical documents related to this historic organization is very limited if not almost impossible. Admittedly, modern literature on the topic of Odd Fellowship is very scarce and the old records of this fraternal society are not well-preserved. This book, Ancient Rites of Odd Fellowship: Revisiting the Revised Ritual of the Order of Patriotic Odd Fellows, 1797, is published for preservation and educational purposes for the benefit...
