Who are the Masons/Freemasons? 👁️
The Masons (or Freemasons) are an organization well known for their secrecy. However, some researchers and ex-masons have given insight into their beliefs which includes a solid belief in the afterlife. “This life is a sleep from which we awaken into a new life after death. By practicing Freemasonry this new life is a higher life and the Masonic Temple there reveals all truths.” This links with multiple Near Death Experiences (NDEs) that say all knowledge is accessible once we are freed from the filters of our body/brain (we access the Akashic records; a record of all human events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred). Other insights include claims from an old mason that they believed you had to pass away to get to the next degree of masonry and gain it in Sirius (the star often shown in Masonry and Ancient Egypt, where they also strongly believed in the afterlife, hence mummification). Also, a creator of the universe (or as they allegedly refer to ‘Grand Architect’), as all of creation has mathematical construct such as the Fibonacci Sequence.
Here is an excerpt about the masons from history.com:
‘Freemason secrets allegedly lurk behind everything from the planning of our nation’s capital to murder. Members of the enigmatic Masonic brotherhood include prominent politicians, Founding Fathers and titans of business. In modern times, Masons are known for donating millions to charity.
Freemasons belong to the oldest fraternal organization in the world, a group begun during the Middle Ages in Europe as a guild of skilled builders. With the decline of cathedral building, the focus of the society shifted. Today, ‘Freemasons are a social and philanthropic organization meant to make its members lead more virtuous and socially oriented lives,’ says Margaret Jacob, professor of history at the University of California, Los Angeles, and author of ‘Living the Enlightenment: Freemasonry and Politics in Eighteenth-Century Europe’. Grounded in the Enlightenment, the organization ‘still conveys [the era’s] core values, religious tolerance, thirst for knowledge and sociability,’ says Cécile Révauger, a Freemason, historian of Freemasonry and professor at the University of Bordeaux.
While not a secret society, it does have secret passwords and rituals that originate with the medieval guild, says Jacob: ‘In the original guild, there were three stages: Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Masons who oversaw everyone working on a site. Today, these degrees are more philosophical.’
Freemasons have long communicated using visual symbols drawn from the tools of stonemasonry. The ‘All-Seeing Eye’, or Eye of Providence, while not designed by Masons, has been used by the group to represent the omniscience of God. The most well-known Freemason symbol/logo (the main image of this post), ‘The Square and Compasses,’ depicts a builder’s square joined by a compass. The ‘G’ at its centre remains subject to dispute; some experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, believe the ‘G’ in the symbol’s centre represents geometry, a critical field to the first Freemasons, while others believe it represents God, the ‘Grand Architect of the Universe.’ The Square and Compasses remains a popular symbol on Masonic rings.
There’s another, lesser-known Masonic symbol drawn from nature: the beehive. ‘Masons were originally working men who were supposed to be as busy as bees,’ says Jacob. ‘And the beehive symbolizes the industriousness of the lodge.’
Freemasons greet one another with a variety of handshakes, all based on one’s rank within the organization. ‘There is a handshake for each degree: Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master, i.e., the first three degrees and also in the higher degrees,’ says Révauger. ‘Each rite has its own handshakes, so there is quite a variety. They are used during Masonic ceremonies.’
While Freemasonry is not itself a religion, all its members believe in a Supreme Being, or ‘Grand Architect of the Universe.’ Members come from many faiths, but one denomination in particular bars any crossover. The Catholic Church first condemned Freemasonry in 1738, prompted by concern over Masonic temples and the secret rituals performed within them.
Famous Freemasons can be found throughout history: George Washington was a Master Mason, and Benjamin Franklin was a founding member of the first Masonic Lodge in America. Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Gerald Ford were Masons, as was Prime Minister of Great Britain Winston Churchill. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Davy Crockett, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Henry Ford, Paul Robeson and astronaut Buzz Aldrin were also Freemasons.‘
Videos on the Masons/Freemasons 🎥
Here are some interesting videos around the subject, including insights from former 33rd-degree Freemason Dr. William Schnoebelen (Dr. Bill Schnoebelen) and KRS-One.
Dr. William Schnoebelen discusses a range of topics such as beliefs, activities, rituals, the renowned handshake, the good, the bad, eternal life and how “Magic is real!”. His interview includes:
1. Dr. Bill Schnoebelen’s Personal Background & Involvement in Occult Practices:
- He says he was raised in Catholicism, then explored occultism, witchcraft/Wicca, ceremonial magic, and Satanism before becoming a Freemason.
- He claims involvement in Wiccan covens and satanic groups where he allegedly took oaths and advanced in hierarchy.
2. Freemasonry Initiation Rituals & Oaths:
- New initiates strip to underwear, wear ceremonial garments, are blindfolded, and led into the lodge.
- He recounts an oath with dramatic penalties (e.g. threats of bodily harm) for revealing secrets.
- He says the rituals get “creepier” in higher degrees and imply dark spiritual elements.
3. Claims About “Dark Energy” and Secret Evil:
- Freemasonry is spiritually dangerous and ultimately linked to Satan or anti-Christian forces.
- He claims high-level members believe in sexual magic and even “sexually vampirizing children” as part of a secret “Royal secret”. This links to alleged child abuse in elite secret societies and in the royal family of England (who have supposedly been traced back to descendants of Vlad the Impaler and as such related to Dracula’s bloodline), blood sacrifices, and adrenochrome (a substance that apparently is made in the blood when scaring children and consumed).
- He alleges that some Masons have been involved in sexual abuse tied to lodge activities.
4. Dr. Bill Schnoebelen’s Path Transitioning Through Different Groups:
- Freemasonry – Reaching high degrees.
- The Rite of Memphis Misraim (an obscure esoteric rite) – Claiming degrees up to 96th and 97th.
- Mormonism – Joined the LDS Church, participated in temple rituals, then became disillusioned.
- Christian Conversion – He ultimately became a born-again Christian and renounced all prior oaths.
5. Comparisons Between Freemasonry, Mormonism, and Occultism:
- Mormon temple rites are influenced by Masonic ritual.
- All three paths (occultism, Masonry, Mormonism) are spiritually deceptive.
6. Dr. Bill Schnoebelen’s Central Spiritual Message:
- A warning to Christians about secret societies and spiritual deception.
- A call for people to renounce oaths and seek Christ.
Dr. Bill Schnoebelen’s interview is a personal religious testimony that blends spiritual interpretation, claims about secret societies, and strong theological warnings. The full interview can be viewed in the first two videos below.
The third video is Albert Mackey’s Masonic interpretation of death, in which he contrasts it with older mythological and philosophical views. It begins with a Norse myth description of death as bleak and sorrowful, ruled by Hel in a grim realm of suffering. Mackey then contrasts this with the Masonic (and Christian) view, where death is not gloomy, but seen as a form of sleep that leads to awakening in another life. In ancient pagan thought, sleep and death were considered twins, but death was often viewed as final extinction, with poets and philosophers like Seneca and Virgil describing it as permanent nothingness or an eternal night.
However, Mackey notes that the ancient mystery traditions actually taught eternal life and used initiation rites to symbolize resurrection. Freemasonry inherits this symbolic framework and teaches that death is a transition rather than an end. In Masonic teaching (especially in the third degree) life is portrayed as a period of labor, building a spiritual temple for the Grand Architect. Death marks the completion of this work and the beginning of a higher existence where truth is fully realized. Freemasonry presents death not as annihilation or despair, but as a completed initiation and a gateway to immortality and higher truth.
The video of KRS-One (the second from last video below), he discusses the Illuminati, Freemasonry, and alleged secret control of hip-hop artists. He strongly denies being a Mason or part of the Illuminati, though he says he has studied Freemasonry for many years and understands its symbolism and philosophy. He explains that:
- Freemasonry and the Illuminati are different.
- Freemasonry, in his view, is about symbolic knowledge, self-development, and moral building, with roots in ancient crafts and spiritual metaphors.
- The historical Illuminati were Enlightenment-era philosophers and scientists who challenged church authority, not an evil secret cult.
- He also describes another group labeled “Illuminati” as powerful banking families and policy groups, but frames them more as elites than supernatural villains.
- He argues that conspiracy fears are often misplaced and that the real power structures are largely unknown and not publicly named.
- He claims that people in authority maintain fear and security around themselves because they are not truly righteous leaders.
- He says talk of evil secret societies is overblown and that “Illuminati” is often just a label for people others don’t understand.
- He emphasizes personal purpose and self-knowledge over conspiracy thinking.
- He adds that he has fans in government agencies like the FBI and CIA, presenting this as part of his unusual public profile.
- He concludes that human wrongdoing comes more from psychological struggles and suffering than from organized evil forces.
Overall, his message rejects popular conspiracy narratives and reframes secret societies as misunderstood, symbolic, or intellectual groups rather than sinister controllers of hip-hop or the world.
The last video in this section is of a former law enforcement officer, discussing his experience joining the Freemasons, describing it as a widespread practice among police officers. He was initially drawn in by interest in biblical history, King Solomon’s Temple, and charitable work (like donations to Shriners’ hospitals). He explains the process of joining, including petitions, background checks, and interviews with family.
He details the Masonic rituals, including phases like:
- Entered Apprentice – Involving blindfolded ceremonies, symbolic bindings, and learning ritualistic practices.
- Fellow Craft – A continuation of rituals with increased symbolism and hierarchy.
- Master Mason – The highest rank he personally achieved, with advanced secret knowledge and exposure to occult practices at higher degrees (30–33).
He also describes the Freemasons as connected to Satanic practices and occultism, including references to Baphomet, Illuminati, Moloch, and the use of symbolic rituals like blood baptism. He claims elite institutions, corporations, and even political leaders are involved in this network to control wealth, land, media, and global governance.
He frames the Freemasons as foot soldiers of a larger plan for a one-world order/New World Order (NWO), one world religion, and one global currency, ultimately leading to the rise of the Antichrist. He links this to mind control, MKUltra, and manipulation of powerful people.
Despite his involvement, he states he left the organization through faith in God, experiencing spiritual renewal and guidance. He emphasizes that in his experience the Freemasons are dangerous, deceptive, and should be avoided.

Satanism in Elite Secret Societies? 🤔
Diverging from Freemasonry, it is first worth noting that the majority of masons are honest, positive people. In the previous videos, satanism is mentioned as having influence in some higher levels of Freemasonry. The videos below also touch on the potential of satanism within secret societies and the elites that control the world in general.
In the first video, Professor Jiang Xueqin discusses how current global events as part of an ongoing “war between heaven and hell.” Heaven represents spirituality, consciousness, and meaning, while hell represents materialism, machines, technology, and control. Humanity exists between the two and, because of free will, must constantly choose which side to align with. He says modern science (e.g., the Big Bang, evolution, neuroscience) is portrayed not as neutral inquiry but as a tool used by powerful elites to remove belief in God, spirituality, and life after death, thereby encouraging fear of death and making people easier to control. Fear of death is described as essential for maintaining power over populations.
He claims that secretive groups and powerful elites are engaged in a hidden spiritual and ideological conflict that influences world affairs. The content suggests that these forces (often described as secret societies or hidden agendas) are attempting to shape humanity’s future, morality, and consciousness, with an implication that this struggle reflects deeper cosmic or spiritual opposition. He argues that technology and transhumanism (especially ideas like uploading consciousness to machines) are attempts by elites to defeat death and trap humanity permanently in a material, “hellish” existence. This agenda is said to be driven by secret societies embedded within bureaucracies, who coordinate through secrecy, mutual wrongdoing (blackmail), and shared belief systems. Religion, in this framework, is described not as truth, but as a coordination system or script that allows secret groups to work together without direct communication (this aligns with life purpose insights taken from an alleged alien capture at the bottom of this post). These groups allegedly invert moral values, celebrating materialism, power, and even Satan as a symbolic rejection of God, in order to justify immoral actions and maintain control.
Three core principles are emphasized as unity; the system is interconnected, polarity/symmetry; good and evil must coexist, and “As above, so below”; human behavior reflects and shapes cosmic reality (discussed further in our Hermetic Principles of the Universe post here).
Professor Jiang Xueqin claims that the true conflict is a war of perception, not resources. Whoever controls belief controls reality. If people believe God is dead and the material world is all that exists, “hell” wins. Science, space exploration, and even hypothetical alien invasions are framed as attempts to destroy belief in heaven and spirituality. God and Satan are described as non-intervening forces due to free will. God allows darkness to exist because only in darkness can humans freely choose to act morally and “shine.” Ultimately, the speaker claims that hell can never fully win because the universe has built-in “fail-safes” (such as natural disasters or societal collapse) that reset humanity when suffering becomes too great.
In the end, the speaker clarifies that heaven, hell, God, and Satan are metaphors or projections, but insists they remain useful tools for understanding power, belief, and human behavior.
The second video, is a clip of of Alex Jones on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, sharing beliefs similar to David Icke. This includes that we are in a holographic universe, that there are multiple dimensions, that elites are influenced by non-human, interdimensional beings of lower dimensions (interdimensional beings) which they gain intel (such as immortality and hidden knowledge) from them in return for satanic practices. Also, that the elites want to gain full control over humanity, including full mind control through technologies like AI and merging humans with robotics, to take away free-will and have full control over the future (Icke often says the elites are obsessed with predictability and total control).
Jones divides elites into good, bad, and mixed groups. The “good” avoid organizing or dominating others, while the “bad” seek power, control, and domination. He claims modern physics (citing Einstein and Max Planck) supposedly shows reality is artificial, holographic (as discussed in this post), and multidimensional, with at least twelve dimensions. Dark matter is described as evidence of flaws or “bleeding” in this artificial projection. Humanity itself is portrayed as existing within a simulated or dream-like reality (many advanced ancient civilizations described this life as a “dream world”). A major theme is that humanity already operates at higher levels of consciousness, but faces an interdimensional threat attempting to suppress or destroy the species. Because humans possess free will, both good and evil forces are allowed to compete for influence. Jones asserts that elites are racing to use technology to form a breakaway civilisation, merging humans with machines to escape a supposedly “failed” humanity.
Central to this concern is the development of artificial intelligence, particularly systems allegedly being built by major tech companies (e.g., Google). AI is described as a future hive-mind supercomputer created from the collective neural activity and data of humanity, psychically connected to humans through digital networks. This system would be capable of predicting the future and subtly manipulating decisions, thereby eliminating individual free will and consciousness. The speaker warns that humanity is unknowingly surrendering autonomy by feeding thoughts, data, and daily decisions into this AI system. A “counter-strike” is claimed to be underway to stop or dismantle this technological trajectory and reclaim control over humanity’s future.
The narrative attributes the push toward this AI system to interdimensional or satanic forces, described as non-human entities that provide advanced knowledge and technology to corrupt elites. These forces allegedly aim to absorb or destroy humanity by replacing divine free will with machine-controlled collective consciousness. He concludes that humanity is at a decisive crossroads, facing a choice between a future that empowers human consciousness and freedom, or one that results in technological domination, loss of individuality, and extinction of genuine human agency.
The third video shows the symbolism of Satan across the music industry, lots of devilish outfits with horns, blood, and darkness; none of it is love and light (blood is often referenced in satanic rituals/vampires/Dracula myths and that the royal family of England have supposedly been traced back to descendants of Vlad the Impaler and as such related to Dracula’s bloodline). This points to a deeper source (some secret societies and elites) that is keen to promote Satanism. It is often proposed that this deeper source actively entices people who have high influence over people (such as popular singers) with more fame and wealth. Then if they don’t take that option, they are told that they will find it a lot harder to maintain the fame and wealth/face forms of opposition (maybe this is a lot of the one-hit-wonders!). This also links to idea that elites have to leave clues to what’s going on/”hide things in plain sight”, as they believe Universal law requires them to do so. “These are the reasons why no one will ever be able to say they weren’t told what’s happening. Universal law requires them to reveal it. It doesn’t matter how they tell us, as long as they do. It’s like a way to try and balance karmic debt.”
The fourth video from a banned Oprah Winfrey episode discusses satanic worship and child sacrifices within some Jewish families. Again, like the masons, the majority of Jews are honest, positive people, but the woman seems convicted/truthful in what she says which points to more prevalence of satanic worship.
It is also argued that satanic references are subliminally incorporated in famous company logos in the form of ‘666’. This can be taken from analyzing the logos of ‘Disney’, ‘Google Chrome’, ‘Monsters Energy’, and ‘Vodafone’.
Disney have also been subject to a lot of questions regarding the sexual subliminal messaging in their movies. This includes ‘The Lion King’ where “sex” is spelled in the air, “Aladdin” where he subtly tells Jasmine “take off your clothes”, and minions where there are multiple sexual references throughout the film. Some of this and more can be viewed in the videos below.
