Order of Quetzalcoatl

The Order of Quetzalcoatl, colloquially known as the "Q", is a Masonic invitational body. It is heavily involved in philanthropy, and its main contribution is towards transportation funds for Shriners hospitals.
The Order, which was founded in Mexico City on March 14, 1945 by Arthur J. Elian, takes its name from the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. Its chapters (called ''Teocallis'', Nahuatl for "house of god") are located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Panama. All members of the Order, called Artisans, must be Shriners in good standing in their Shrine Temples.〔(“The Complete Idiot's Guide to Freemasonry” by S. Brent Morris, Google Books )〕
The Order derives its terminology from Nahuatl, and its rituals are ''loosely'' based on Aztec ritual, including the use of the teponaztli war drum and the sacred drink, pulque.〔
The order consists of three degrees: Coate, Artisan and Master Artisan. A candidate becomes a Coate when he is initiated into the order. Then he becomes an Artisan through a ritual ceremony. He may then advance to Master Artisan either through consecration ceremonies at the order’s annual business meeting (called a Feast of Fire) or through traveling to either the Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan in Mexico City or Chichen Itza in Cancun.〔(“Order of Quetzalcoatl,” Freemasonry and Fraternal Organizations )〕
