Some things the Illuminati "groups" seem to gear towards are of a natural, pagan type theme. This being said, I am confused as to weather or not this makes people who are involved in the same type of practices tainted somehow. I am looking for intelligent awnsers only, Im not a stupid person myself, just confused by this and wondering if anyone has any ideas on the question I posted........ Thanks, peace....

Unfortunately your question uses very broad terms. Why exactly is Pagan type worship? Animal sacrifices? Worship of multiple gods? Worship of the Sun? Worship of nature? And this has various contradictions, Greco-Roman paganism seems to condone dominating nature and bringing man made order to to chaos of nature, while Celtic paganism is more pro-nature.



Also, what exactly are "Illuminati groups?" The Bavarian Illuminati? The Knights Templar? The Free Masons?



Ultimately, by what I think you mean by Illuminati groups, they mostly fall under Protestant or Atheistic ideologies. The Bavarian Illuminati were mostly the big money of Europe during industrialization. Bankers, Business owners, rich merchants. Basically these people didn't want a Church telling them they had obligation to feed the poor or give good wages. They were more likely atheists than anything else. But historians dont really have a lot of reliable information on the Bavarian Illuminati, and the group is greatly exaggerated.



The Free Masons had very orthodox protestant ideologies. They were advocates of the famed Protestant work ethics and no reliable information about them makes them anything other than good Christians.



Actually I would argue that the biggest rise of Pagan ideologies came in the Italian Renaissance within the confines of the Catholic Church. I wont say Pagan worship, but Pagan ideology. Classical Pagan authors were widely read, Pagan sciences and logic's were rediscovered. Pagan humanism was Incorporated into the Catholic Church.



So I would argue that the truth is the exact opposite of what you claim. However, modern literature and media likes to find similarities and links between these "Illuminati groups" and paganism, but unfortunately their really isn't any historical evidence to support many of these links. Think the Da Vinci Code, they make a link between the Templar's, the Merovingian Kings, and ancient Paganism, but their really isn't any historical evidence for this. I will admit, it SEEMS like their is a link, but thats just the Media and Pop Culture, not history. But it makes a good story.

Greetings!



I had never heard of the "Georgia Guidestones", so thanks for that. I have never heard of any extant "Illuminati", as they are always mentioned as a "Secret" group.



"tainted"? what are you saying? You are making incorrect assumptions with your statement, and your "implications" are your own, and they are insulting to a great many people.



Go ahead and give some links or reference.

edit: Well, the mystery of the "Illuminati" youtube videos point to videos made by "conspiracy theorists" rather than anybody who actually knows any facts. Don`t ask anyone here to respond "intelligently" to ridiculous stuff like that, without being willing to accept some silly "awnsers"( i notice you use the same spelling over and over)

It implies nothing. The term "Pagan" is an umbrella term that refers to a lot of different belief systems from all over the world, it's not a unified religion like Christianity or Islam, and there's no solid evidence that the Illuminati even still exist. That being the case there is no way that something people who may or may not exist may or may not be doing can reflect on you.

I really think after a 12 hour shift and it being as late as it is here, i'm going to need subtitles and cliff notes.



i'd love to try to answer it with a "real good answer". . . but I personally dont study or follow that way of thinking. So it's lost on me. All I have to comment on is the fact that not all pagans pratice or believe the same thing. Point in case, I'm a pagan, but the things your talking about have little to not much to do with my belief/pratice. Yes nature is important but there are so many other things besides that, that I do pratice/believe.



I know my answer isnt great. but with little to no functioning brain cells I'll need someone else to explain it with simpler details then this to give a "good answer"

The Illuminati have been accused of being involved in everything from rising gas prices to the war in Georgia. There really isn't any evidence that such a group(s) even exists beyond the realm of peoples fertile imaginations. To me, they are a work of fiction.

I even have an entire relationship with Goddess and God that contains worship yet Worship is barely one small part of the relationship. a lot of that relatinship is comradery, a mutual replace of love, and advisore-advisee relationship, a pupil-instructor relationship, a confidant relationship and often a chum or relative relationship. All of those and a lot extra, previous the easy worhipping relationship is in contact. this is dificult to describe and that i comprehend that i'm no longer doing a very stable job of it. despite the fact that, it isn't the "generic" mainstream faith theory of worship. i do no longer view the Gods as being some etherearl Beings in some far got rid of place, meaning to be in simple terms worshipped and cherished from afar. quite I view it as a one on one relationship it incredibly is collectively liked via the two me and them and one that leaves me feeling fulfilled and on the element of them.

Its hard to take your question seriously, when you ask for intelligent answers only, and then fail to spell-check (or check your grammar).



Do you believe everything you see on You-tube? I could post a video on You-tube stating I'm an alien. It doesn't mean its factual.



My understanding of the Illuminati is that it is an occultist society.

I agree, cite some sources please.



answer: I've seen conspiracy nuts say the Illuminati are all Catholics and its an organization that existed for centuries. I've seen conspiracy nuts say the Illuminati are all atheists. I've seen conspiracy nuts say the Illuminati are Jewish. I've seen accusations that they are Satanic.



I've never seen an accusation that they are all pagans (which is highly unlikely if the organization has existed for centuries).



Please detail what you mean by a "natural, pagan type theme" - what does that mean? Since paganism encompasses a lot of religions, your term is too vague and broad.



Cite source and describe in detail please

What are your sources on that, exactly?



And there IS no "Pagan type worship". "Pagan" is an umbrella term that covers a wide range of different religions, each with its own style of reverence and worship. So right there your whole theory falls down.

...many centuries ago during the dark ages the Illuminati organized in Italy....practicing pagan rituals typical of social mores of that time and region (including animal sacrifice)

...later the group expanded, forming many 'business oriented' factions, such as the 'Mafia' and other business affiliations that still exist today as the primary means of protecting the 'market share' of the affiliated members

....the 'Skull and Bones' of Harvard, and subsequently, Princeton, Yale and the Kennedy Institute also take their founding members from Illuminati affiliates (a large conspiracy theory links this group to a devicive 'plan' to unify world government into one world order)

....another group formed from Illuminati origins, known as the 'Freemasons'

...the 'Freemasons are world renowned, alive and well today and are active in many civic and charitable roles that provide essential care to many less fortunate children, as well as, providing leadership to communities, cohesive civic social activities within their respective lodges, and also professional guidance in stone masonry

...modern Freemasons, do not however practice pagan rituals that include sacrifices of living animals or humans, nor do they practice any type of witch-craft

....the magic of Freemasonry is deep within the unity of the group
