Illuminati Mysteries Revealed | A Conversation with Bro. Josef Wages

Although pop culture has a very twisted idea of what The Order of the Illuminati really is or was, there is scholarly work being done today by prominent historian and researchers. Fortunately, some of these professionals are Brothers and have done amazing work at documenting this history and revealing some of the mysteries that tie it to Freemasonry.  In this episode of The Winding Stairs, we have a conversation with Brother Josef Wages to discuss his scholarly work on dusting off the details behind Adam Weishaupt's extensive work. Brother Josef is the author of "The Secret School of Wisdom: The Authentic Rituals and Doctrines of The Illuminati" and was heavily involved in the research for the documentary by Brother Johnny Royal, Illuminated Movie.
