  • A mystic society is a Mardi Gras social organization in Mobile, Alabama, that presents parades and/or balls for the enjoyment of its members, guests, and the public. The New Orleans Krewe is patterned after Mobile's Mystics. The societies have been based in class, economic and racial groups. Mobile's parading mystic societies build colorful Carnival floats and create costumes around each year's themes. During the Carnival season, the mystic societies parade in costume on their floats throughout downtown Mobile. Masked society members toss small gifts, known as throws, to the parade spectators. The throws can take the form of trinkets, candy, cookies, peanuts, panties, artificial roses, stuffed animals, doubloons, cups, hats, can coolers, Frisbees, medallion necklaces, bead necklaces of every variety, and Moon Pies. Mystic societies in Mobile give formal masquerade balls, known as bal masqués, which are almost always invitation only and are oriented to adults. Attendance at a ball requires that a strict dress code be followed that usually involves full-length evening gowns and white tie with tails for invited guests, and masked costumes for society members. The bal masqués feature dramatic entertainment, music, dancing, food, and drinks. Bal masqués are normally based on a theme which is carried out through scenery, decorations, and costumes. Some society balls also include a tableau vivant. Much of the memorabilia from these occasions can be viewed at the Mobile Carnival Museum. (en)

Elles s'occupent de l'organisation des parades à travers la ville pendant la saison du carnaval et ont la particularité de garder secrète l'identité de leurs membres. Les mystic societies organisent également des bals masqués. L'histoire des mystic societies débute en 1830 lorsque la Cowbellion de Rakin Society célèbre le carnaval par un défilé. À l'époque, Michael Krafft, un planteur de coton originaire de Pennsylvanie, à l'idée d'organiser un défilé avec des râteaux, des houes et des cloches de vaches. Dès 1840, les Cowbellians introduisent des chars conduits par des chevaux dans un défilé intitulé Heathen Gods and Goddesses. En 1843 est fondée la Striker's Independent Society encore existante aujourd'hui. En 1856, six hommes d'affaires s'inspirent des mystic societies pour fonder, à La Nouvelle-Orléans, la première krewe : la Mistick Krewe of Comus. Il y a actuellement plus de quarante mystic societies à Mobile. (fr)
