The world that we live in have always had their secrets and there have been many bodies that have been created in order to protect the secrets. The secrets that I am talking about here are things that are of such intensity that they can completely change the way the world things and goes around with its jobs. These secrets and the secret bodies that have been protecting it have lived on for years and might as well live on for the next infinite years to come. There have been many conspiracy theories that have embodied these secret societies. Although the lists of the members have more often than not leaked out in the front, nobody has ever been able to trace the actual bodies as the Secret bodies truly know how to keep secrets. Here is a list of the top 10 secret societies which might or might not yet be operating.
1. Skull and Bones
The secret body is one of those bodies that have arguably two of the most persons of the world: The two presidents of the United States of America. The secret body took its birth in the Yale University when George Washington was a part of it. The body originally came into being in the year 1832. Skulls and Bones are also known as the ‘Brotherhood of Dead’. It is a rumor without some solid evidence that the CIA was formed out of Skulls and Bones.
2. Freemasons
This is one of the most important structured secret bodies of the world divided into three structures of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason. The body has its own rituals that are by their standards quite scary. The masons have more often than not been associated with many conspiracy theories.
3. Rosicrucians
This is one of the old German secret society that had published three documents under their name with the aim of changing the outlook of Europe of those times. The Rosicrucians of the present times state that the original body was formed much before the time we think it to be. Just like the masons, Rosicrucians also have their own degrees of membership.
4. Ordo Templis Orientis
The secret society is also better known as the OTO or the Order of the Temples of the East. The body is also very much like the masons with structured degrees and rituals that are quite scary and unique in it. The rituals involve the Gods and Goddesses of Egypt and the Devil as well.
5. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
This secret body was actually created by three people who were Freemasons and a part of the Rosicrucians and also had ties with the Ordo Templis Orientis. The people believed in the mysticisms that involved in all the three other secret bodies. The rituals performed were quite harsh and scary as well.
6. The Knights Templar
This society is basically consisting of people who are treated as warriors for the purpose of the Freemasons. Although the body does not have any direct links with the original Knight Templar but surely do follow the ideas. The body has been blamed for many conspiracy theories while others blame it on the masters who dictate them.
7. The Illuminati
This is the body which consisted of the greatest minds of the world. They were free thinkers who thought science could actually be the answers to the questions that cannot be answered by the GOD and Church. The society has had a lot of direct clashes with the Church and as a result the society went underground but was still highly functional. According to rumors, greats like Galileo, Leonardo DA Vinci, arts were a part of the illuminati.
8. The Bilderberg Group
This is one of the groups that is slightly different from the other groups that exists. The group does not have any direct membership but does exist and consists of the most influential people around the world.
9. The Priory of Sion
The Priory of the Sion is one of those groups whose existence is still a mystery. Many people believe that the group never actually existed and they have proofs to state so but some believe that the group exists and is still doing its job perfectly.
10. Opus Dei
Opus Dei is one of those catholic organizations whose main objective is to defy all the claims against the Catholic Church and implement their words. It is like a private army for the church. But the doubts still exist.
