It denotes the spreading antlers of an elk. It should be given only in front of<BR/>the altar in the lodge room, while the lodge is in session or when ordered by the Exalted Ruler.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761048749751133829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525929597537043802.post-5343498502635049002009-02-25T15:47:00.000-07:002009-02-25T15:47:00.000-07:00My dad was a member of the Elks, and I have no ide...My dad was a member of the Elks, and I have no idea if this story is true or if he was just messing with us, but several years ago he told mom that if you needed to be excused from a meeting (or otherwise wanted to be recognized) you had to put your hands to your head like antlers (rather than raising your hand). One time he came home from the Elks and when he walked in the door, I put my hands up like antlers, wiggled my fingers and said "I'm a little Elk!" I think he was mad at mom for telling me the story, but he thought it was funny. You'll have to tell me if it's true!Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13990437346400440707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525929597537043802.post-26278882086804439322009-02-19T06:54:00.000-07:002009-02-19T06:54:00.000-07:00Oh good idea, Krissy!
