Ladies of the Orient

This article is about the women's appendant body to the Rebekahs. For the similarly-named women's auxiliary associated with the Shriners, see Shriners § Women's auxiliaries.

The Ladies of the Oracle (L.O.T.O. or LOTO) is a women's fraternal organization in the United States and Canada which had its origins with the Rebekahs.

The first unit, Pioneer Zuanna No. 1 was founded in Syracuse, New York in March 4, 1916 by Rebekah Emma M. Voorheis for the purpose of having a group dedicated to recreation and amusement as a pleasant diversion from the serious charitable work done by other groups to which the ladies already belonged.

It was first incorporated in New York in 1921. In 2024, the order was reestablished as the "Supreme Royal Zuanna of the Mystic Degrees of Persecution and Purification, Ladies of the Oracle."

While it has a close relationship with the Ancient Mystic Order of Samaritans, it is not a true women’s auxiliary, but rather an independent organization founded entirely by women and requiring no affiliation with its men’s counterpart. It is not an appendant body to Rebekahs, Odd Fellows, or AMOS.

Local units of LOTO are referred to as "zuannas" and are presided over by a "Great Ashayhi." The basic regalia is a white fez with a red triangle with a golden yellow crescent with points upward and the letter “Z” in royal purple.

As with AMOS, the group has a particular charitable focus on Cognitive disabilities.
