ndings available to all who wish to hear, and the conspiracy to keep humanity in the spiritual dark will crumble and fall. it is already doing so. a key part of this process is to reveal the nature of the deception and why it is being perpetrated. the vehicle for keeping this knowledge from the public arena has been the system of initiations used by the ancient mystery schools and the now immense secret society network all over the world, which i call the brotherhood. each higher level of initiate is given more knowledge than those below. this sets up a pyramid structure, with the few who reach the top levels of initiation knowing far, far more than the majority further down the ladder (see figure 3. this makes it easy for those few to manipulate the rest. the content of this esoteric know

couldn't keep doing that again and again. much better from the brotherhood's point of view to replace the monarchies with elected representatives of the people, who could be replaced every few years. if you can control the money and the media, you can largely control (a) who gets to the top in political parties and (b) whom the people elect into government. you give financial backing and use the secret society network within all political parties to manipulate your choice to the top; you activate your (controlled) media to advance the popularity of the one you want to win at election time, and to undermine his or her opponent. the illusion which is laughingly called democracy is a wonderful vehicle for the illuminati/global elite. it was their creation and the last thing you can call it i

or the poor, but i would suggest that he was seriously misguided in his means of achieving them. his ideas were to be followed by karl marx and friedrich engels (another student of plato) and became the foundations of the marxist form of communism which was soon to grip the nations of eastern europe. rabbi marvin s. antelman also identifies the plato theme and its connection to the all-seeing eye secret society network. he points out that moses mendelssohn, an architect of the french revolution, was such a student of plato's works that he became known as the "german plato. he translated three books of plato's republic into german, but his work was never published. it was, however, passed down through the warburg banking family, the subordinates of the rothschilds, and creators of the feder

france and germany. wherever they went, these "royal" lines interbred obsessively with each other through arranged marriages and secret breeding programmes. we see the same with the ruling families of today because they are seeking to perpetuate a particular genetic code, which can be quickly diluted by breeding outside of their hybrid circle. in the ancient world, one of the headquarters for the secret society network or illuminati, through which these bloodlines manipulate humanity, was babylon, also in the lands of sumer. this illuminati network then moved its headquarters to rome and during that time came the roman empire and the creation of the roman church, or institutionalised christianity. the headquarters moved on into northern europe after the fall of the roman empire and for a p

and collapse, especially in the 20th century, it appeared that these lands, like the americas, africa, and australia, had won their "independence. instead, the nefilim bloodlines and the illuminati merely exchanged overt control for the far more effective covert control. while these empires apparently withdrew, they left out in those countries, including the united states, the bloodlines and the secret society network through which they operate. ever since they have continued to control events in these former colonies as part of a long-planned agenda for the complete centralised control of the planet through a world government, central bank, currency, army, and a micro-chipped population connected to a global computer. this is the very governmental structure that is now staring us in the

creeds, and countries. most freemasons never progress higher than the bottom three levels of degree, the socalled blue degrees. they have no idea what their organisation is being used for. even most of those who make it to the apparent peak, the 33rd degree in the scottish rite, know relatively little. only the tiny few, all from a particular bloodline, move through the top of their "individual" secret society into the llluminati degrees above that. these are the levels into which all the major secret societies feed. yet at least 95% of their members have no idea that these levels exist, never mind who is in them. the bloodlines the llluminati bloodlines are all genetically connected through hybrid dna, a genetic fusion caused by the interbreeding of a reptilian race with humanity and the

e finished them quickly. his two rivals, however, were clearly finding the paper very tough and could not complete it in the allotted time. shaw got the job. why? because he was not given the same paper as the other two. when he walked out of freemasonry, the opposite happened. he found his bosses far less supportive to say the least. this is just one small example of how the illuminati and their secret society web ensure that their guys are in the positions that matter. it is actually astonishing how few people you need to control to dictate your agenda through the whole system if they are (a) in the key positions of decision-making and (b) they have the power to appoint those in the important positions below them. an example: you control the chief of police who decides the policy and he

o dictate your agenda through the whole system if they are (a) in the key positions of decision-making and (b) they have the power to appoint those in the important positions below them. an example: you control the chief of police who decides the policy and he can appoint the heads of the various departments in his force. he introduces illuminati policy and chooses his major subordinates from the secret society initiates. they, in turn, can appoint the people within their departments and can thus choose more secret society initiates for the positions below them. so it goes on. once you have control of the top man in any organisation, the pyramid is built in his, i.e. the illuminati's, image. governments are structured in the same way. mind over masses there are two techniques of mass manip

and, therefore, rule. you will see this theme throughout the book as i tell the story of how the llluminati, the atlantean "sons of belial" or whatever you would like to call them, have sought to build the new atlantis ever since the cataclysmic events that destroyed the original version. atlantis was described by plato (427-347bc, the ancient greek philosopher. he was also a high initiate of the secret society- mystery school network. to this day this secret network has passed on advanced knowledge to the chosen few while denying that privilege to the mass of the people. official history dismisses plato's contention that such a continent existed, but there is vast geological support for such claims. the azores, which some believe were part of atlantis, lie on the mid- atlantic ridge, a fr

taclysm.39 even those built since the upheavals have been placed on older sites that aligned with the old north pole. the same is true of rosslyn chapel near edinburgh in scotland.40 this is an illuminati "holy grail" full of their ancient symbolism and built by the st clair-sinclair family, one of the foremost of the illuminati bloodlines and one of the founding forces behind the knights templar secret society. charles hapgood, incidentally, had a meeting arranged with president kennedy to discuss a project to find atlantis, but kennedy died in dallas a few days before their appointment.41 hapgood also told rand flem-ath that he was going to produce evidence in his next book of an advanced civilisation on earth 100,000 years ago. but hapgood died soon afterwards and the book was never wri

he very name, mu, pronounced moo, is close to the polynesian name for dragon.6 an indian tamil text, silappadikaran, describes a lost continent in the pacific and indian ocean it calls kumari nadu or kumari kandam, which means the "dragon land of the immortal serpents".7 you cannot be sirius these technologically advanced extraterrestrial and other-dimensional beings created mystery schools and a secret society network in atlantis and lemuria to pass on levels of their knowledge to chosen initiates. legends claim that a race came to the earth from sirius, the "dog star" and brightest in the sky, which is some 8.7 light years from here. the term "dog star" comes from its position in the constellation of canis major and it is also known as orion's dog" the legends and accounts say that the b

verted pentagram, and that is their symbol for sirius (figure 2. the pentagram within a circle is used by satanists in their rituals to draw other dimensional demonic entities into this world or to "draw down the kingdom of satan into manifestation on earth, as one writer put it. the pentagram is symbolised by the goat head known as the "goat of mendes" or "baphomet, the image the knights templar secret society was accused of worshipping when it was purged in france after 1307. the goat head is also associated with the sirius system. the ancients designed massive temples to point directly at the spot on the horizon where sirius appeared at the "rising" and their key rituals were focused on sirius, just as many of the illuminati's are today. one example of these sirius-aligned structures is

ntelligence operation, 38 children of the matrix mi5 (figure 6. according to the story, the design for the great seal was handed to the founding father and rosicrucian, thomas jefferson, by a mysterious stranger dressed in a cape with a hood that covered his face. after the end of atlantis the survivors took this symbol to places like egypt and from there it continued to be used by the llluminati secret society network that reemerged after the cataclysm. the three-pronged trident was the symbol of the royal line of atlantis and this later became the three-pointed fleur-de-lis, a symbol of the llluminati bloodline to this day. the key atlantean "god" was the fire god, votan38 who would turn up later in the americas and europe as wotan and wodan. the american organisation, the lemurian fello

e for the bloodlines. red= sirius? these guys don't choose their locations or their names by accident. malta, too, was an important centre by 3500bc and the home of a major mystery school. under malta is a vast network of tunnels and megalithic temples where secret rituals took place- and still do. malta's original name was lato, named after mother lato, the serpent goddess.53 the knights templar secret society was formed in the late 11th century to protect the reptilian bloodline or "le serpent rouge, the red serpent or serpent blood, together with their associated order, the highly secretive priory of sion.54 the goals of the knights templar and the illuminati were, and are, to place these serpent bloodlines in all positions of power worldwide and thus form a reptilian, centrally control

ol, the all-seeing eye or eye: horus, which you will find at the top of the pyramid on the us dollar bill and on the reverse of the great seal of the united states. the same symbols used by this ancient sumerian dynasty are still used by the illuminati today, because they are the same bloodlines and are working with the same knowledge, hidden away since ancient times within the mystery school and secret society networks. and the reptilian "gods" of atlantis and lemuria seeded these bloodlines. waddell shows in his work, makers of civilisation (luzac and company, 1929, that sargon's sumer-centred empire extended to the indus valley in the east, the british isles in the west, encompassing much in between, and was larger than that of alexander the great or the romans. the sumer empire include

cret societies is a key methodof reptilian control, as i shall detail. the american writer and researcher, williambramley, concluded in his book, gods of eden, that the anunnaki created a secret societycalled the brotherhood of the snake and this has been used to manipulate humanity in theway described in the chapters that follow.19 this brotherhood of the snake is the corecentre of todays global secret society network which is controlled by the reptilians.inner-terrestriais?in their physical expression, the anunnaki are one of the many inner-earth races whichlive underground in the enormous catacombs, caverns and tunnels below the surface. ahopi indian legend says that a very ancient tunnel complex exists under los angelesand this, they say, was occupied by a lizard race some 5,000 years

doing the same things atthe same time, day after day, week after week. the reptilians have used the white raceas their main route to global control, but they have crossbred with all races includingthe chinese, japanese, arabs and those known as jewish. all this allows the reptiliansto control apparently unconnected people and organisations. it is the extraterrestrialversion of members of the same secret society working in many places of influence,while the rest of the population have no idea that they are connected. you can look at aseries of apparently different human beings in different positions of power who come tothe same conclusion and agree the same policy. that would appear to be a policy bornof democracy and open debate. but what if the same force is controlling all of them?that w

ionysos were very similar to those of bacchus, and by many these two gods are considered as one. statues of dionysos were carried in the eleusinian mysteries, especially the lesser degrees. bacchus, representing the soul of the mundane sphere, was capable of an infinite multiplicity of form and designations. dionysos apparently was his solar aspect. the dionysiac architects constituted an ancient secret society, in principles and doctrines much like the modern freemasonic order. they were an organization of builders bound together by their secret knowledge of the relationship between the earthly and the divine sciences of architectonics. they were supposedly employed by king solomon in the building of his temple, although they were not jews, nor did they worship the god of the jews, being

factions is that the story of father c.r.c, like the masonic legend of hiram abiff, is an allegory and should not be considered literally. a similar problem has confronted students of the bible, who have found not only difficult, but in the majority of cases impossible, their efforts to substantiate the historical interpretation of the scriptures. admitting the existence of the rosicrucians as a secret society with both philosophic and political ends, it is remarkable that an organization with members in all parts of europe could maintain absolute secrecy throughout the centuries. nevertheless, the "brothers of the rose cross" were apparently able to accomplish this. a great number of scholars and philosophers, among them sir francis bacon and wolfgang von goethe, have been suspected of a

which they were to know each other, and warned them that if they broke their vow of secrecy the cord would be used to strangle them. few of the principles of rosicrucianism have been preserved in literature, for the original fraternity published only fragmentary accounts of its principles and activities. in his secret symbols of the rosicrucians, dr. franz hartmann describes the fraternity as "a secret society of men possessing superhuman--if not supernatural--powers; they were said to be able to prophesy future events, to penetrate into the deepest mysteries of nature, to transform iron, copper, lead, or mercury into gold, to prepare an elixir of life, or universal panacea, by the use of which they could preserve their youth and manhood; and moreover it was believed that they could comma

the lock &c. comte de gabalis by abb de villars, and essays by de quincy, hartmann, jennings, mackenzie, and others, are examples of rosicrucian literature. although the existence of these medi val rosicrucians is difficult to prove, sufficient evidence is at hand to make it extremely probable that there existed in germany, and afterwards in france, italy, england, and other european countries, a secret society of illuminated savants who made contributions of great import to the sum of human knowledge, while maintaining absolute secrecy concerning their personalities and their organization. the fourth postulate the apparent incongruities of the rosicrucian controversy have also been accounted for by a purely transcendental explanation. there is evidence that early writers were acquainted w

ditions, 1989. the assassins regarded as one of the most fearful of all secret societies, the hashashin, the assassins, seemed capable of penetrating any security, of striking down any victim regardless of the body of men who might guard him. they moved as if they were deadly shadows and struck with a fury that shattered the nerves and the resolve of their most stalwart foes. the very name of the secret society of killers has given the english language the words gassassin, h one who kills for fanatical or monetary reasons; gassassinate, h the act of killing suddenly and treacherously; and gassassination, h the murder of a prominent person. the original appellation for the society, the hashashin, is derived from the arabic ghashish, h a name for indian hemp (cannabis sativa, and the accusat

as loyal soldiers or servants, but always awaiting the bidding of their grand master to strike if ordered to do so. a powerful sultan who defied the orders of hasan might suddenly find himself attacked by assassins who for many years had been regarded as trusted servants but had only been hiding in his service until such time as the grand master ordered his assassination. as the power of hasan fs secret society became known throughout the east, a monarch never knew which of his seemingly faithful retinue was really an assassin only awaiting orders to murder him. between 1090 and 1256, there were eight grand masters who ruled the society of assassins. in 1256 and 1258, the mongols virtually destroyed the sect in iran and in syria. although the assassins scattered throughout the east and int

me of their recruits were rather an embarrassment, and as legions of spies may have tried to gain entrance to betray them, from an early date recruits were admitted only from people who were of the blood; that is, from a witch family. the various rituals of worship, secrets of herbal lore, and the great secret of what they call magic, have been handed down to what has become more or less a family secret society. in palestine and other countries there are two kinds of witches: the ignorant herbalist and charmseller, and the witch who is a descendant of a line of priests and priestesses of an old and probably stone age religion, who have been initiated in a certain way (received into the circle) and become the recipients of certain ancient learning. at times the church ignored the witch; but

orshipping culture on the island of rhodes, a name that originates from a syrian word for serpent.51 rhodes was the home of the danaan brotherhood of initiates and magicians known as the telchines.52 the greek historian, diodorus, said these initiates had the ability to heal, change the weather, and "shape-shift" into any form. thousands of years later, one of the most important of the illuminati secret societies, the knights hospitaller of st john of jerusalem, now the knights of malta, located on rhodes and for a while were known as the knights of rhodes. ultimately, they came from the same source as the knights templar. the name rhodes, which is connected to the german "rot, meaning red, as with rothschild("red-shield, became a code name for the bloodlines. red= sirius? these guys don't

ce of sumer, or at least a significant part of it, had moved down from northern europe after the upheavals. he says they came from locations called friezland, scandza, and tula, which could be today's greenland, he thinks. certainly there is an illuminati interest in greenland that does not make sense when viewed simply from the perspective of a vast island covered in snow and ice. one of the key secret societies behind the german nazis was called the thule society after "ultima thule, one of the alleged origins of the "master race" in the far north of the world. this "aryan master race" was said to be..blond-haired and blue-eyed. frans kamp says that the name holland (a big region of the netherlands) came from halland in scandinavia as those peoples moved south and settled new lands. he s

may be that the "mist" that poisoned the rivers and water supplies and left the sumer region an uninhabitable wasteland for a long time, was the fall-out from this. it is believed that the anunnaki eventually left the earth, but i suggest that while some may have done so, pledging eventually to return, others stayed and have been the orchestrators of the manipulation through their bloodlines and secret societies ever since. the themes of this extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs can be found in almost every native culture. if anyone has a problem with the existence of life beyond this planet, by the way, consider this. even according to conventional, and desperately limited "science, it takes a hundred years for light to travel from one side of this one milky way galaxy to anothe

masters dictating policy to all of them via organisations like the bank of international settlements in switzerland. what also followed the creation of the illuminati operational stronghold in london were the british empire and the other european empires. as these expanded across the planet to take over the americas, africa, asia, china, australia and new zealand, they exported the bloodlines and secret societies and made every effort to destroy the native knowledge and culture. also, within those countries were the hybrid bloodlines created by the interbreeding between the anunnaki and selected families in those regions long before, and these were the people who were left in the positions of power after the colonial invaders from europe withdrew and granted the countries "independence. cr

DAVID ICKE THE BIGGEST SECRET

ven ifyou are in a minority of one, the truth is still the truth. so heres the story, punchesunpulled.in summary, a race of interbreeding bloodlines, a race within a race in fact, werecentred in the middle and near east in the ancient world and, over the thousands ofyears since, have expanded their power across the globe. a crucial aspect of this hasbeen to create a network of mystery schools and secret societies to covertly introducetheir agenda while, at the same time, creating institutions like religions to mentally andemotionally imprison the masses and set them at war with each other. the hierarchy ofthis tribe of bloodlines is not exclusively male and some of its key positions are held bywomen. but in terms of numbers it is overwhelmingly male and i will therefore refer tothis group

mplete and by then, as you will see later in the detailed text, i had reached exactly thesame conclusions. rhodes says that after the reptilians invade a planet from space andfrom their underground bases, the surface population quickly surrender to superiorweaponry. then the reptilians strip the planet of its resources like water, minerals anddna information. the infiltration of human society via secret societies is a key methodof reptilian control, as i shall detail. the american writer and researcher, williambramley, concluded in his book, gods of eden, that the anunnaki created a secret societycalled the brotherhood of the snake and this has been used to manipulate humanity in theway described in the chapters that follow.19 this brotherhood of the snake is the corecentre of todays globa

itive or negative. at the upper levels of this network they knowof the true power of the sun, magnetics and the mind; the effect of the planets onhuman behaviour; how to manipulate time, consciousness, energy, the weather and somuch more. if used malevolently, this knowledge can be incredibly destructive andmanipulating and this is what has happened. at the same time the reptilians have usedtheir secret societies to create institutions in the public arena such as religions andpolitical parties to suck this advanced knowledge out of circulation. the inquisitionwas a wonderful example of this technique. merely to speak about esoteric matterswas to sign your own death warrant. this scam has been so effective that still todayyou have christians condemning esoteric information as the devil when

planto work to, the great work of ages as it became known to the freemasons. theyallowed the non-reptilian population to do the work and then, when new societies wereestablished, the brotherhood priests and initiates would hijack the positions of religiousand political power and ensure that any advanced knowledge in circulation was suckedout of the public domain and into their mystery schools and secret societies. the whiterace and the reptile-aryan crossbreeds had emerged from the caucasus mountains andthe mountains of iran and kurdistan after the flood to settle in egypt, israel/palestineand what we now call jordan, syria, iraq, iran and turkey, going up to the caucasusfigure 7:the land of thegods in theancient worldfrom where thearyan andreptile-aryanbloodstreamsemerged in thecaucasusmo

ery possibility that this brought about a strong resemblance between the mystical systems of the older world. the principles of magic are universal, and these were probably handed on throughout the centuries by hereditary castes of priests, shamans, medicine-men, magicians, sorcerers, and witches. but the same evidence does not exist with regard to the higher magic. was this handed on by means of secret societies, occult schools or universities, or from adept to adept? this magic is that spiritual magic that, taken in its best sense, shades into mysticism. the schools of salamanca and the mystic colleges of alexandria could not impart the great truths of this science to their disciples. its nature is such that communication by lecture would be worse than useless. it is necessary to suppose

on, a modern spirit took possession of europe, and protagonists of the occult sciences came out of their secrecy and practiced in the open light of day. in england, for example, numerous persons avowed themselves alchemists; in germany the rosicrucians sent out a manifesto; in scotland, alexander seton, a great master of the hermetic art, flourished. but it was nearly a century later when further secret societies were formed, such as the academy of the ancients and of the mysteries in 1767; the knights of the true light, founded in austria about 1780; the knights and brethren of asia, which appeared in germany in the same year; the order of jerusalem, which originated in america in 1791; and the society of the universal aurora, established in paris in 1783. besides being masonic, these soc

persed and officially disappeared. some historians have a tendency to portray the trial of the templars as a conspiracy on the part of the king of france, and depict the knights as innocent of the charges. but, this manner of interpretation fails in several aspects. nesta h. webster, the famous british historian with a great deal of knowledge on occult history, analyzes these aspects in her book, secret societies and subversive movements. according to webster, the tendency to absolve the templars of the heresies they confessed to during the trial period dh from the templars to ancient egypt is unjustified. first, during the interrogations, despite the standard claim, not all the templars were tortured; moreover, do the confessions of the knights appear to be the outcome of pure imagination

scientific world) now, we have come to an important point in this stage of the book. let us summarize what we have discovered so far: 1. we began the discussion by discussing the order of templars which is thought to be the origin of masonry. we have seen that, although fe the "world-view" of ancient egypt did not remain buried with these statues, but was carried down to the present day. by those secret societies that see themselves as the heirs of ancient egypt global freemasonry the templars were founded as a christian order, they were affected by some secret doctrines that they discovered in jerusalem, totally abandoned christianity and became an anti-religious organization practicing heretical rites. 2. when we asked what this doctrine was that influenced the templars, we found that it

d much more closely related to the ancient mystery religions of the east.24 the jews, by adopting these ancient egyptian materialist and esoteric doctrines that were founded on magic, ignored the related prohibitions in the torah. they took on the magic rituals of other pagan peoples, and thus, the kabbalah became a mystical doctrine within judaism, but contrary to the torah. in her book entitled secret societies and subversive movements, the english writer nesta h. webster says: global freemasonry gc some jews, influenced by the cultures of the pagan civilizations of ancient egypt and mesopotamia, turned away from the torah that god gave them as a guide, and began to worship various material objects. above is pictured a pagan temple to the sun. sorcery, as we know, had been practised by t

onism had their origins in ancient egypt and there are some significant similarities between them and masonic rites.60 isindag is much more overt about the influence of ancient egypt on the origins of masonry when he declares "freemasonry is a social and ritual organization whose beginnings go back to ancient egypt."61 many other masonic authorities maintain that the origins of masonry go back to secret societies of ancient pagan cultures, such as those of anglobal freemasonry ke the ancient egyptians believed in the myth that matter was eternal, and that the order of the universe arose due to a mythical "self-organizational" power of matter. cient egypt and greece. asenior turkish mason, celil layiktez, stated in an article in mimar sinan magazine entitled "the masonic secret: what is sec

dominate. in a similar manner, as islam spread throughout the east, naturalist ideas, and pagan beliefs, such as zoroastrianism and shamanism, were eradicated, and the fact of creation was accepted. the theory of materialist evolution was developed by the pagan philosophers in ancient greece. global freemasonry dee nevertheless, the naturalist philosophy persisted underground. it was preserved by secret societies and emerged again under more suitable circumstances. in the christian world, as we mentioned at the beginning of this book, naturalism was preserved by the masons, and other secret societies who followed their lead. a turkish magazine, named mason, published for distribution to members of the order, provides the following interesting information: those who arrived at new discoveri

rse of projects which were undertaken.94 what is meant here by "new discoveries" is an understanding of science aligned to naturalism, a theory that does not accept the existence of god. this distorted approach to scientific study was developed secretly in esoteric societies that needed to use signs and symbols for this purpose, and so the roots of masonry were established. one of these so-called secret societies, responsible for planting the roots of masonry, was the rose-cross (rosicrucian) order, a sort of meeting point between the templars and masons. this order, first heard of in the fifteenth century, created a fury of interest in alchemy, especially in europe, of which its members were said to possess secret knowledge. but the most important legacy of the rose cross order today is t

the masonic ladder with seven rungs had its origin in this mithraic symbol. women were never permitted to enter the mithraic order, but children of the male sex were initiates long before they reached maturity. the refusal to permit women to join the masonic order may be based on the esoteric reason given in the secret instructions of the mithraics. this cult is another excellent example of those secret societies whose legends are largely symbolic representations of the sun and his journey through the houses of the heavens. mithras, rising from a stone, is merely the sun rising over the horizon, or, as the ancients supposed, out of the horizon, at the vernal equinox. john o'neill disputes the theory that mithras was intended as a solar deity. in the night of the gods he writes "the avestan

the members of the renegades are generally younger vampires who had only recently (relative to vampires) undergone the ritual of death and rebirth. my guess is when the time of the renegades ends, the hierarchy will once more rule in the light. this hierarchy has gone by many names throughout the ages, but today they are known as the illuminati. the illuminati is a organized collection of satanic secret societies, and other secret societies that are not openly satanic, such as the freemasons and the vatican. these groups work cooperatively seeking to fulfill an ancient prophecy, the return to the golden age of worldwide and open rule. the illuminati, using the powers of the catholic church and the european empires, have long sought to crush all records of man s true history, ensuring thems

NAUDON PAUL THE SECRET HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY

stand the spiritual influences freemasonry was subject to during this transformation, or at least to comprehend those that facilitated this transformation. an accepted fact of history is that from the end of the fifteenth century in italy through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in europe as a whole, there was a strong inclination among educated individuals to join together in more or less secret societies. the desire to create these kinds of groups, their organizational plan, and their goals arose in large part from the reading of certain books published in different forms by the illustrious authors of that time, principally thomas more, rabelais, andrea, francis bacon, and robert fludd. in his famous work utopia (1516, sir thomas more (1477-1535) puts into practice a program of de

group calls its compound "hormiga" in honor of the obedient worker ant, yet another form of illuminati insectoid.9 thus, we find the beehive or anthill as apt metaphors for the servants of the illuminati. it is fascinating to realize that these people are servile, weak, and crawling little personalities. they echo in unison the words "yes, master" to their superiors, the potentates of the various secret societies and orders. the underlings of the illuminati, in effect, are abject and craven cowards, groveling in fright and terror before their illuminist chieftains; yet, they act in public as though they are superior beings oh, so special and "hoity toity" as the saying goes. believing in their own inflated self-worth, they consider themselves members of a higher-level caste while categoriz

TWO ESSAYS ON THE WORSHIP OF PRIAPUS

l festivals, such as the feast of fools, the feast of asses (the ass was an animal sacred to priapus, and others, all which were adapted by the medi val church exactly as the clergy had taken advantage of the profit to be derived from the phallic worship in other forms. the leaden tokens, or medalets, which we have already described,1 seem to point evidently to the existence in the middle ages of secret societies or clubs connected with this obscene worship, besides the public festivals. of these it can hardly be expected that any description would survive, but, if not the fact, the belief in it is clearly established by the eagerness with which such obscene rites were laid to the charge of most of the medi val secret societies, whether lay clubs or religious sects, and we know that secret
