9The Illuminati Isn’t Just a Fictitious Group

Illuminati was a real secret society that existed in the past and it also had a great impact on the world’s activities.

When you think about secret societies, it’s likely that the first word to come to mind is The Illuminati. The Illuminati is a name that has become synonymous with secrecy, conspiracies, and secret societies in general. It’s hard to tell whether to believe the rumors about The Illuminati. Many conspiracy theorists use The Illuminati to denote a huge, secret group of powers that control the world in the shadows. However, the truth is that The Illuminati was a real secret society that existed in the past. Although it has been linked to other, more modern secret societies and used as a name for plenty of other organizations- the original Illuminati is actually long gone.

In 1776, The Illuminati was established in the Bavarian region of Germany. This was during the Enlightenment era of Europe when the church had much of the power over the state and there was little to no separation between church and state. The goal of the Illuminati was to challenge this power and provide some pushback against the religious influence that had a stronghold over most people.

The Illuminati even noted that they wanted to challenge and control this kind of injustice but to do it without dominating the church or other purveyors. Many politicians and scientists were associated with The Illuminati, and the group was strongly challenged by the Catholic Church. The group was outlawed due to religious backlash, but it continued to function in a more underground manner. Many people even believe that The Illuminati could still be at work today.

6Ireland’s Ribbonmen Secret Society

Ribbonmen is one of the green secret societies that works in the world to control its activities.

The secret society referred to as the Ribbonmen is related to a movement in Ireland called Ribbonism or Ribandism. The movement originated in 19th-century Ireland when landlords were wreaking havoc on the poor, rural Irish. Ribbonism and the Ribbon Society were developed to rebel against the terrible conditions that poor Irish people were being forced to live it because of the Orange Order, a Protestant ideology. The goal of this secret society was to help people who were being evicted by their landlords or dealing with sudden and devastating changes in the terms of their leases.

Members wore green ribbons, and it’s because of this common symbol that they became known as the Ribbonmen across the country. Many groups of Ribbonmen began to organize themselves by lodges and begin working together with other secret societies, some even in England. The Ribbonmen were widely accepted, and their ideology matched with some of the goals of the Catholic Church at the time. The group called for the separation of Ireland from Great Britain and even participated in some violent riots and violent protests to get their points across.

In general, the Ribbon Society was highly active during the years of 1835 to 1855 and are not active anymore. The clash of the Catholic and Protestant churches, as well as the Ribbonmen and the Orange Order,  became what historians now call the Tithe War. This was a violent and deadly time in Ireland. Retaliations between the two groups ended with many deaths and violence, especially in the northern region of Ireland.
