Introduction to Freemasonry & The Illuminati with Guest Jennifer Shaffer

The Illuminati* was an 18th Century Enlightenment-era secret society in Bavaria, in what is now Germany, and it has long been defunct. Its goals at the time were pro-enlightenment - to oppose superstition, religious influence, the abuse of state power, etc. "Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead."

Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation (or rather, various fraternal organisations) which originated in the 14th Century concept of trade guilds. Individual lodges are internally very structured and it isn't easy to become a Freemason. But different lodges are said to be very different from each other, so it is hard to generalise.

The Eye of Providence (or the all-seeing eye of God) is a symbol showing an eye often surrounded by rays of light or a glory and usually enclosed by a triangle. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God watching over humankind (or divine providence). In the modern era, the most notable depiction of the eye is the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, which appears on the United States one-dollar bill.

Today, the Eye of Providence is often associated with Freemasonry.
