Secret societies still exist today, they may be a relic of a bygone time, but they still have the power to intrigue us. Groups that seem quite impenetrable, have forever been a source of intrigue: what are they discussing, what influence are they exerting, what is happening behind closed doors?

Here are 2 of the most talked about secret societies, that have been around the world. While most of these are incredibly dangerous, and illegal to be a part of, one actually holds the key to everything in this world. And amazing, 2 US presidents are members of those societies.

#1 - The Order Of Skull And Bones

Skull and Bones is an undergraduate senior secret society at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. It is the oldest senior class landed society. The society's alumni organization, the Russell Trust Association, owns the society's real estate and oversees the organization. The society is known informally as "Bones", and members are known as "Bonesmen". The Order of Skull and Bones, was originally known as the Brotherhood of Death. It is one of the oldest student secret societies in the United States. It was founded in 18 32 and membership is open to an elite few. The society uses masonic inspired rituals to this day.

Members meet every Thursday and Sunday of each week in a building they call the “Tomb”.According to Judy Schiff, Chief Archivist at the Yale University Library, the names of the members were not kept secret until the 19 70s, but the rituals always have been. Both of the Bush presidents were members of the society while studying at Yale, and a number of other members have gone on to great fame and fortune.The society is surrounded by conspiracy theories; the most popular of which is probably the idea that the CIA was built on members from the group.

#2 - Freemasons

Since the middle of the 19th century, Masonic historians have sought the origins of the movement in a series of similar documents known as the Old Charges, dating from the Regius Poem in about 14 25 to the beginning of the 18th century. Alluding to the membership of a lodge of operative masons, they relate a mythologised history of the craft, the duties of its grades, and the manner in which oaths of fidelity are to be taken on joining. The fifteenth century also sees the first evidence of ceremonial regalia.

Freemasonry or Masonry consists of fraternal organisations, that trace their origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons, which from the end of the fourteenth century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons, and their interaction with authorities and clients.

The degrees of freemasonry retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of Apprentice, Journeyman or fellow (now called Fellowcraft), and Master Mason. These are the degrees offered by Craft (or Blue Lodge) Freemasonry. Members of these organisations are known as Freemasons, or Masons. There are additional degrees, which vary with locality and jurisdiction, and are usually administered by different bodies than the craft degrees.

The basic, local organisational unit of Freemasonry is the Lodge. The Lodges are usually supervised and governed at the regional level (usually coterminous with either a state, province, or national border) by a Grand Lodge, or Grand Orient. There is no international, worldwide Grand Lodge that supervises all of Freemasonry; each Grand Lodge is independent, and they do not necessarily recognise each other as being legitimate.

The Grand Masonic Lodge was created in 17 17, when four small groups of lodges joined together. Membership levels were initially first and second degree, but in the 17 50s this was expanded to create the third degree, which caused a split in the group. When a person reaches the third degree, they are called a Master Mason. Masons conduct their regular meetings in a ritualized style. This includes many references to architectural symbols such as the compass and square. Masons use signs and handshakes to gain admission to their meetings, as well as to identify themselves to other people who may be Masons.

Great Idea for a post OP. Here is some information on the subject I have read about it.

“Not only were many of the founders of the United States government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe which helped them to establish this country for a peculiar and particular purpose known only to the initiated few.”

33rd Degree Mason Manly P. Hall, “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” (XC and XCI)
