Title: The Old Secret Societies
Post by: Red on <02-23-12/0812:24>

I'm a big fan of the secret societies of the Sixth World, from Ordo Maximus to the Hand of Five to the IOND to the Atlantean Foundation. But whatever happened to the old ones? Order of the Golden Dawn, Freemasons, etc? I imagine they were absorbed by some of the later ones, but if so, who? Whatever became of the Freemasons?

Mh if I'm not mistaken the Freemasons are basically one of the main aspects of the Black Lodge.

And the Order of the Golden Dawn could be precursors to the IOND.

Order of the Golden Dawn is mentioned in CT they are smaller than the Black Lodge and seem to be biding their time for right now.

I always figured they were linked to the Hermetic Order of the Auric Aurora.

Doesn't say, however they are apparently able to summon interesting things.
