Daughters of Mokanna
This
is the ladies auxiliary to the Grotto. The
order was founded in 1919. Unlike many other Masonic subdivisions, the
membership of the Daughters seems to be falling rapidly: there were only 4,822
members in 1994, a drop of over 1,000 since 1988, and there were about 8,000 in
the late 1960s.
The nomenclature within the Daughters needs little
comment: The local lodges are called “Caldrons,” the national lodge is the
“Supreme Caidron,” and the chief national officer is the “Supreme Mighty
Chosen One.” Their good works are directed at victims of cerebral palsy and at
dentistry for the handicapped.
