This was definitely a proud moment for me, even though I could not be there in person. The Secret School of Wisdom: The Authentic Rituals and Doctrines of the Illuminati by yours truly and edited by Josef Wäges, Reinhard Markner, and Jeva Singh-Anand is gaining momentum internationally.

These last few months have been so hectic, it’s hard to believe that time has flown as quickly as it has. First, I want to reassure those of you who have ordered The Secret School of Wisdom, that the book will be released in January, as planned. If by some happenstance I really don’t want…
Here’s the official statement from our publisher, Lewis Masonic: This book is going to be delayed for a short time (until January 2015) in order to accommodate a newly discovered handwritten document by Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Order, designed to give guidance for his collaborators as to how to instruct subordinate Illuminati. ###…
