The Illuminati Escaped
from Idiot Mystic · host Idiot Mystic
The Bavarian government banned the Illuminati, raided its members, seized its documents, and drove Adam Weishaupt into exile. That should have been the end of the story. Instead, former members survived. Illuminati ideas moved through existing networks. The French Revolution transformed the order into an alleged hidden force behind history, and within a few years Americans were giving sermons warning about Illuminati influence. George Washington was even corresponding about the spread of Illuminati ideas in the United States. So what actually happened after the raids? In this episode of Idiot Mystic, we follow the Illuminati after its supposed destruction: Adolph von Knigge, Freemasonry, the seized Bavarian documents, Cagliostro and the occult world surrounding eighteenth-century Europe, Barruel and Robison, the French Revolution, Maximilian von Montgelas, and the moment the Illuminati story crossed the Atlantic. Maybe the original organization died. But its members, ideas, methods, networks, and mythology did not disappear with it.
