Description
The omnipresence of the Masters of Secrecy in our collective imagination and their claim - real or imagined - to invisibility raises questions.
What do the "Invisible Empire" of the KKK and its imperial sorcerer of the late 19th century have in common with the Brotherhood of the Invisible of 1623? Between the Rosicrucian manifestos of 1614-1616 and the stagings of the P2 lodge and its leader, the sulphurous Licio Gelli, known as the Puppeteer?
All play their own part, where secrecy at once frightens, protects and fascinates.
Their world seems spontaneously familiar to us, because we immediately identify a secret society as such, even though we're supposed to know nothing about its agenda or internal operating rules. This is not the least of the paradoxes.
