Secret Societies

The book tells how throughout the centuries and millennia the ancient "gnosis" — secret knowledge revealed by the gods to the first people — was passed down. It discusses who the Cathars, Rosicrucians, Martinists, and Illuminati are; how the Carbonari differ from the Calderari; what activities Masons were involved in in Russia and whether the Jewish Masons are truly that frightening. The author reveals the secrets of medieval witches and alchemists, describes traditional perverse Russian sects: the Skoptsy, the Strigolniki, the Khlysty, and their ominous rituals related to self-mutilation and even murders. Separate chapters are devoted to criminal organizations, the secrets of the Nazi Reich, modern sects, and closed clubs "for the chosen ones".
