5 Of The World’s Most Feared Secret Societies by Nobody: 1:42pm On Oct 23, 2014
Secret societies, and the sense of mystery and exclusivity that
they evoke, have been around for centuries. Why exactly secret
societies have to be ‘secret’ in the first place is one of the
biggest questions about the practise. The common belief is that,
as the societies are so often made up of influential and
powerful members of society, they were – and still are –
plotting to change civilisation via overthrow or infiltration of
the Church or the government. Another speculated reason for
the secrecy of these societies involves common purported
trends of worshipping a fabricated deity, or else worshipping a
known figure, good or evil, in a way that would be disallowed
by conventional religions.

These two potential explanations for the secrecy of the ‘secret’
society, along with the bizarre rituals which they perform and
the extraordinary hazings that new members must endure,
creates an understandable aura of uncertainty and fear around
almost any given secret society. However, some are more
feared than others; those with proven insidious aims, horrific
rituals, or an incredibly powerful known membership base are
those which are renowned and dreaded the world over. This
article lists five such societies, and the practices and beliefs
which see them inspiring so much fear.

5. Gang 36

Gang 36 is not your typical secret society — in fact, it more
closely resembles a mob, or simply a notorious gang — but it is
a secret society nonetheless. The Malaysian society is the most
feared secret society in the country, and one of the most feared
worldwide. There are an abundance of similar gangs in
Malaysia today. The gangs, or secret societies, develop from
the gatherings of young people with an inclination towards
violence, gradually becoming more organised — installing fees
to guarantee members’ protection, electing leaders, until they
become full-blown societies, known and feared throughout the
country. Gang 36 is the most powerful of these societies.

It was originally made up of Chinese men who were
predominantly gangsters, but was overtaken in ownership by
the greater number of Indian members. The society’s criminal
activity has escalated in recent years, and the change in
ownership is thought to be as a result of the founding
members’ reluctance to get their hands dirty. The society today
is very much multi-racial, and while there are still Chinese
members, they tend to play the role of investors as opposed to
activists. The money they invest in the Gang’s activities allows
them to make huge profits through criminal and violent
operations.

4. The Knights of the Golden Circle

The Knights of the Golden Circle are, in plain terms, an
American pro-slavery secret society that was first established
in the mid-nineteenth century. The fully-established society
was originally comprised of Southern sympathisers in North
America during the Civil War. The first branch of the society
was set up in 1854 by Dr. George W. L. Bickley in Cincinnati.

The order gradually moved to the South, where it was
extremely well-received. The society’s original aim was to
establish a force that would colonize the northern part of
Mexico, in order to aid the pro-slavery population, but at the
advent of the Civil War it moved its attention to supporting the
South. The Knights of the Golden Circle vehemently opposed
the abolition of slavery, and while going through several
reorganizations in the 1860s (becoming the Order of the
American Knights, and then the Order of the Sons of Liberty),
their aims remained steadfast.

Several extreme members of the various branches of the secret
society also threatened a radical revolt in the Old Northwest as
a means of ending the war and bringing about the outcome they
sought.

3. The Order of the Skull & Bones

The only college-based secret society on this list is Yale’s
Order of the Skull & Bones, which is no less feared for the
youth of its members. Such is the level of both fear and secrecy
around the society that there are countless conspiracies
concerning its actions, and it has been blamed for a variety of
occurrences, including the assassination of President Kennedy
and the creation of the nuclear bomb.

The fears surrounding this society’s power are exacerbated by
the incredibly high number of rumoured alumni that went on to
become powerful figures worldwide, such as members of the
Rockefeller family and George W. Bush.

The secret society was originally founded in 1832 by a Yale
student, William Russell, after he had spent a year in Germany
and was exposed to European organizations and secret
societies. Members of the Order worship a fake goddess named
Eulogia, and select the societal elite – those from the richest
and most politically powerful families – as its members. The
society is one of the most heavily veiled in the world, which
has perhaps led to the hype surrounding its goings-on. It is said
that members have hatched schemes for world domination, and
that one of the society’s rituals of initiation is for a new
member to lie naked in a coffin and disclose details about their
sexual encounters and habits. The society is suspected of
having raided the coffin of Apache warrior Geronimo, and
stealing his skull and two bones to put on display at their
headquarters.

2. The Freemasons

The Freemasons is one of the world’s oldest and most
intriguing secret societies. While the first instance of what is
recognised as the modern day Freemasons society was set up in
England in 1717, evidence of the Masonic Fraternity seems to
date incredibly far back: The language and symbols involved
in its rituals look to be derived from the stonemasons’ guild
during the Middle Ages, and the earliest written reference to
the society on record date from the mid-1300s.

While the society is extolled for placing importance on the
rights of the individual and standing for self-improvement and
social betterment, it is also vehemently opposed for its belief in
a pre-Christian spiritual wisdom, which it protects at all costs.
This level of devotion and form of worship, along with the fact
that the society has included numerous powerful members
including Mozart and a multitude of US presidents, leads some
to fear the perhaps supernatural means whereby members
might be obtaining this power.

The society protects its members fiercely, offering lifelong
protection at all costs and punishing its enemies.

1. Ordo Templi Orientis(o.t.o)

The Ordo Templi Orientis, or Order of the Temple of the East,
is a society which focuses on belief in and practicing of the
occult. It has bases all over the world, including the US, the
UK, Australia and Russia. The secret society was founded in
1906 in Germany. Its different branches and leaders make its
history dense and complex, but we can be certain of its main
focuses: modern occultism and money.

Other concerns of the society include the falsification of
history to suit its teachings, the practice of Gnostic Mass,
expanded consciousness, conspiracy, Voodoo, and practising
sexual magic. The society has a strong affiliation with all
things sexual and pertaining to religion, with leader Aleister
Crowley saying that the purpose of the O.T.O. was “to restore
Christianity to its real status as a solar-phallic religion”.

The society involves a series of sexual initiations which range
from the dubious to the downright horrific: Most of their rituals
involve body horror of some sort. The society is also
responsible for numerous anti semitic texts, tortures, and
sacrifices of both animals and, in some cases, humans.

For those of us who are interested in joining the Ordo Templi Orientis O.T.O and Thelema in Nigeria, there's a Facebook study group for intending and serious minded individuals (male and female). It is wise to study what you have little or no knowledge about before going into it. This group is to create awareness of the O.T.O to us before final decision followed by initiations.
The group name is: "Thelema Study Group Nigeria". You are free to join the group to see what they have to offer before you become a member as they are about setting O.T.O Lodge in Nigeria.
