3 Mysterious Beliefs of Secret Societies You Should Know

Unveiling the Dark Allegations: Devil Worship, Orgies, and Radical Ideas.

If you are someone who is familiar with Dan Brown’s work, especially the Lost Symbol then Freemasonry might not be a new word to you.

It is a unification of men of different backgrounds that join to form an organization (a very close brotherhood) that started all the way back in the Middle Ages.

These people are known to run the world from the underground, every event, every catastrophe that takes place, they are known to be at the very root of it (even if they are not directly involved).

This probably gives you an idea of how many important political people might be involved in this organization.

1- Shrouded in mystery

The way the Freemasons tend to operate is by manipulating and lying to the general public about their intentions, confusing them about the motives of certain societies.

And we all know when people get confused, they get angry and that leads to riots. Despite the organization being very secretive about its agendas, they don’t seem to have a fixed goal, whether it is political, religious, or cultural (its main fortes).

They mostly exist to strengthen their bonds with each other and create social relationships that would benefit them in times of need.

This includes having specific passcodes that selected members would know of and many secret handshakes (it’s almost as if they are grown men letting their inner child heal). People have even called it a “youthful movement for middle-aged men” (strangely fits).

However, conspiracy theorists love to make things up, especially when they don’t have all the details.

They believe that the actual unspoken activities of the Freemasons include devil worship, orgies (since it’s a male organization it is said to be a cover for people to explore their homosexuality), or propagating radical political ideas.

They are also said to hold very extensive and exclusive ceremonies where the brotherhood is commanded to wear a sort of uniform including their universally known square and compass symbol (to sum it up they dress up and perform their elaborate handshakes).

2- Jewish people taking over Freemasonry

One of the lesser-known chapters of the development of the organization dates all the way back to World War 2.

It is believed that Jewish people dominated Freemasonry which caused the Nazis to retaliate against the organization by burning down entire Masonic libraries (these were built to protect Freemason history).

They would declare their art collections and historical objects as property of the nation (kind of like British colonization).

They would also gather them in camps, strip them of their identity and force them to wear an upside-down triangle patch (their symbol used to be the equilateral triangle in those times) to dispossess them of their power.

They were also mentioned in Mein Kampf by Hitler, accused of trading secrets from Germany to the US. This unfortunately also gave him the jurisdiction to shut down all of their lodges and eliminate them (over 79,000 Freemasons were executed this way + 200,000 more by the Nazis without protocol).

3- Retaliation of people not allowed in Freemasonry

The Freemasons had a strict rule about not letting women be part of their group. This was not because of any misogyny or prejudice against women, but it was to keep them safe and to prevent them from getting tangled up in all the political hardships.

However, there is a similar organization called the Order of Free Weavers (or even Order of the Eastern Star) that is run by women and there is no discourse between the 2 groups.

However, there are people who are against Freemasons, calling themselves the Anti-Freemasons who were afraid of the rapid growth and success of the Freemasons, leading them to spread unnecessary lies (or conspiracy theories as they call it) about murders committed by the hands of this organization.

Another group of people shunned from Freemasonry is atheists, for the entirety of the group believes in the existence of God (no matter which religion it may be). The one exception of people who shun themselves from joining Freemasonry is Christian Catholics.

Where does this leave us?

Well if I were to give an opinion on the entire concept of Freemasonry and their history, it all seems a bit of a cluster of broken information rather than tangible proof.

On top of that, the idea of having a group of people control what happens to humanity, in general, is a terrifying ordeal. There should be a balance in how much someone is allowed to control something.

Despite all of the theories that claim them to be harmless, there is nothing harmless about the power in their hands.

Just reading The Lost Symbol gave me goosebumps. I can’t imagine how much worse it would be if this in fact was our reality and we were all puppets on a string (which we essentially are thanks to capitalism).
