Today I'm joined by my secret society guy, Monty, to discuss the historical Bavarian Illuminati. Monty takes us through the state of Europe at the time, and we talk about the Jesuits and the Catholic church, the Enlightenment, the Rosicrucians, and so forth. Monty introduces all the main figures of the story - Weishaupt, Knigge, Franck, the goals and structure of the Illuminati, the development of the secret society, and various famous historical figures. Monty walks us through the repression of the society, and that's the end of the story - nothing interesting happens after that.
