Ancient Mystical Order of Zarahemla or AMOZ

Ancient Mystical Order of Zarahemla
The Ancient Mystical Order of Zarahemla or AMOZ was created in 2005 by the author of the ritual Jeff Bixby. Bixby had been inspired to create a fraternal order after having been influenced by several Masonic Orders of Freemasonry that mormons and non-mormons could be members of.

The ritual is loosely based upon characters out of the Book of Mormon, although it is not in any way related to Freemasonry or any church related with the Book of Mormon.

There is but one degree of iniation and another degree meant to further the meaning of the ritual, although it fails to do most of that. The "highest" degree is that of a Knight of Zarahemla.

Membership is not really known estimates are around 10. The ritual is very unique compared to other fraternal orders because the ritual is copyrighted and is issued to authorized individuals with assigned issue dates and copy numbers.
