Commonly known as Shriners and abbreviated A.A.O.N.M.S.,

they were established in 1870, and are an appendant body to

Freemasonry. In 2010, the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of

the Mystic Shrine, as well as Shriners North America, changed its

name to Shriners International, now covering nearly 200 temples

(chapters) across North America, South America, Europe and

Southeast Asia. The organization is best known for the

Shriners Hospitals for Children it administers, and the

red fezzes that members wear.

Established in 1883 by Joseph Cullen Root, Woodmen is among

the largest fraternal benefit societies today with about 845,000

members worldwide. Members of this organization are called

“Neighbours” and conduct fraternal projects for various communities.

Its services include the donation of equipment to police and fire

and rescue units as well as the provision of assistance to senior

citizens, orphans and disaster victims. Known today as the Modern

Woodmen of America, the society uses an axe, beetle and

wedge as its primary symbols.

The Knights of the Golden Eagle is a fraternal benefit society founded

in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1873. At the peak of membership in

1900, this organization was active in 20 states with approximately

20,000 members. It began to decline about 1943-1944, during

World War II. Some historians believed that this fraternal

organization had become extinct.

 

 

ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS

The “Ordo Templi Orientis” or the “Order of the Temple of the East”

was founded at the beginning of the 20th century as an

international fraternal and religious organization dedicated to have

the Law of Thelma as its guiding principle. Membership in this

organization is like in Freemasonry where an initiatory system followed

by a series of secret ritual dramas is among the prerequisites.

The purpose of the system it adopts is to strengthen fraternal

ties as well as to introduce its spiritual teachings.

 

 

THE PRIORY OF SION

The Priory of Sion is an umbrella society composed of multiple

smaller groups that all aim to allow and convince their members

to involve themselves in studies and mutual aid. Considered the

most controversial secret society to have ever existed in the

Christian world, the Priory of Sion is said to have been founded as

early as 1099 by a man named Godfrey of Boullion on Mount Zion.

 

 

THULE SOCIETY

Initially named “The Study Group for Germanic Antiquity,” the

Thule Society is a secret organization formed in Munich, Germany,

principally created to return power to Germany after its defeat in

the First World War and the fall of the Treaty of Versailles. Its name

was derived from a fictitious northern country from Greek mythology,

Thule. Since 1917, people who seek to become members of this

secret society have been obliged to undergo a “blood declaration of faith”

before being admitted.

 

 

THE SONS OF LIBERTY

The Sons of Liberty was a group consisting of American patriots that

originated in the pre-independence North American British colonies.

The group was formed to protect the rights of the colonists and

to take to the streets against the taxes by the British government.

They are best known for undertaking the Boston Tea Party in 1773,

which led to the Intolerable Acts (an intense crackdown by the British

government), and a counter-mobilization by the Patriots.

 

 

ROSICRUCIANS

Devoted to the pursuit of esoteric wisdom, the Rosicrucians is a

secret organization founded between the 16th and 17th century

to spread occult doctrines and occult powers. By the dawn of the

17th century, two books were published to allude to the rituals

of Rosicrucians, which generally bring together elements of Egyptian

Hermeticism, Gnosticism as well as Jewish Cabalism.

It is believed that Isaac Newton was a member of this secret organization.

 

 

SKULL AND BONES

Informally known as “Bones,” Skull and Bones is a secret society

that evolved from a group of senior students from Yale University.

The senior class of Yale founded the organization in 1832 to show

its resistance to the debating societies of the university – Linonia,

Brothers in Unity and the Calliopean Society. Much like the Illuminati,

This society is sometimes theorized to play a critical role in global

conspiracies that aim to dominate the world.
