Secret Societies: Between Truth and Myth. What Really Lies Behind Symbols and Rituals, and How They Have Influenced Us

This book is unlike any other book about secret societies. We will try to show how "secret societies" arise, why they are called that, how they operate, and why they disband. We will learn about the people who create them, who hates them, who loves them, and why, and we will find out how secret societies are connected to global trends in politics, economics, and culture. We will meet inventors and revolutionaries, musicians and priests who saw in secret societies a salvation for the whole world. We will learn how and why they created our modern world, and in the process, we will learn how to create secret societies ourselves, just in case we might need them.
