Katean Secret Society
Katean Secret Society
A secret society of the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, of the Malay archipelago. Anyone who wished to become a member was introduced into the Katean house through an aperture in the form of a crocodile's jaws or a cassowary's beak. After remaining there for a few days, he was secretly removed to a remote spot. At the end of two months he was permitted to return to his relatives—theretofore unaware of his whereabouts—as a member of the Katean Society.
