Secret Societies & Secret Witches Covens A Coven is a gathering of witches who meet regularly, usually in secret, to carry out witchcraft. Witches of modern times may form small covens, but the history of witchcraft and covens is more uncertain. The earliest reference to the term coven was in 1662 when Isobel Gowdie confessed that in her experience witches met in covens of thirteen. In fact, many witches and experts on witch craft claim that the number thirteen is important because covens have always been groups of thirteen. Thirteen being itself magical number also not surprising we have 13 lunar moons per year and 13 planets in our solar system. Here is my top 5 Secret Societies which throughout history is all linked in with the pagan and wiccan path. No5. “Illuminati” typically refers to various organizations claiming or purported to have unsubstantiated links to the original (and very real) Bavarian Illuminati or similar secret societies, and often alleged to conspire to control world affairs by masterminding events and planting agents in government and corporations to establish a New World Order and gain further political power and influence. Central to some of the most widely known and elaborate conspiracy theories, the Illuminati have been depicted as lurking in the shadows and pulling the strings and levers of power in dozens of novels, movies, television shows, comics, video games, and music videos. No4. The Bilderberg Club, a secret society composed of some of the most influential people in the world, including prime ministers, presidents and international bankers. It is believed that the major purpose of this private club is “to create an aristocracy of purpose” between the United States and Europe. This organization is so private that only its steering committee decides who should be enlisted as its members. No3. The Priory of Sion 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. No2. The Rosicrucians 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. No1. 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 plays a critical role in global conspiracies that aim to dominate the world. Its secret rituals are kept under cloak and dagger but have massive similarities to Paganism.
