Our Monarch
Monarch Avi Nash
Monarch Avi Nash commenced on his Masonic journey in 2003 in Beaumont, Texas, where he was raised as a Master Mason. His path soon led him deeper into the enchanted realms of fraternal brotherhood, joining the Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm on October 18, 2017, as a member of El Texa Grotto in Fort Worth. Demonstrating his commitment to the Order’s charitable mission, he proudly purchased his first Enchanted Lantern in support of the Humanitarian Foundation in 2019.
A natural leader and ritualist, Avi was elected Master of Ceremonies of El Texa Grotto in 2020 and elevated to Chief Justice in 2021. His dedication, charisma, and vision culminated in a landmark moment on March 8, 2025, when he was installed as the Charter Monarch of Sitara Grotto, becoming its first reigning leader and guiding light. In addition to his role as Monarch, he continues to spread joy and goodwill as Sitara Grotto’s beloved Dr. of Smiles.
Monarch Nash’s Masonic legacy spans a wide constellation of affiliated bodies, including York Rite, Scottish Rite, the Grand College of Rites of the USA, the Order of the Sword of Bunker Hill, Order of Eastern Star, Order of the Amaranth, High Twelve International, National Sojourners, and Heroes of ‘76, and he holds Honorary Membership in the Order of DeMolay.
Adding to his distinguished service, Monarch Nash is the author of “The Masked Khurasan: Al-Muqanna, The Veiled Prophet,” a rich and illuminating historical biography designed to educate and inspire fellow Prophets about the legendary mystic Mokanna, whose veiled legacy continues to echo through the Realm.
A Message From The Monarch
As members of the Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, we embody the spirit of ‘Good Fellowship’, and have fun mixed with frivolity. Each day, let us continue to nurture our bonds of camaraderie and charity. As you go through life, a veil can conceal or reveal; yet life’s challenges can hide opportunities for growth. Trust in the unseen forces that guide us, and let faith illuminate our path forward. By internalizing the fraternal teachings and striving for self-improvement daily, you can develop a noble character that reflects the ideals of the Veiled Prophet. May our Sessions together be inviting, cozy, foster laughter, support, and shared purpose. In the depths and times of uncertainties, seek guidance from within and beyond; and forevermore be that point within a circle. Sitara Grotto has opened a portal in the Realm for El Paso Masonry. The Grotto is the Masons playground, and an open sesame for fun. We are the Men in Black, and Masonry’s best kept secret.
