Neutral

## Info

Neutral roles are usually on their own, and are not moved into the same house during the night (except for members of the cult).

## Win Condition

Neutral roles have different win conditions to the village and mafia. Some neutral roles win if they are able to achieve a goal before the game ends, while others win alone, keeping the game going if they are alive. These win conditions include killing/converting all other players, or killing/protecting a target assigned by the host.
Detective

## Mechanics

* Village roles will appear as innocent, mafia roles will appear as suspicious, and neutral roles can appear as either.
* Their target will also appear as suspicious if they are a Suspect, or if they were framed.
* Their target will appear as innocent if they were defended by a Lawyer.
* If the Detective is blocked, they will be told that they 'did not receive any results'.
* The Detective's target will be referred to as 'your target' in their investigation results.

## Strategies

* If there is a Framer in the game, avoid saying who you are going to investigate so your target is less likely to be framed.
* Always share any suspicious results the day after receiving them, otherwise you might die and not be able to share.
* Once you have revealed your role, you should share your investigation results at the start of every day.
* By coordinating with the Journalist, you can ensure your target was not framed when you investigated them.
Tarantella Serpentine

video File:Placeholder
**Tarantella Serpentine** is a prostitute in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

## Conspiratorial

In *TIT*, Tarantella is an Illuminati-trained prostitute.  She is described as an amazingly tall woman, at least six feet two inches with long blonde hair piled high on her head and falling below her shoulders.  She wears tinkling gold bracelets on her wrists and ankles.
Party of Science

The **Party of Science** was formed by Gruad. The group's banner is an eye in a triangle surrounded by a snake with its tail in its mouth.

The Party of Science demanded that Atlantis publish the natural laws Gruad claimed and tha they be binding on everyone through a system of reward and punishment. ("Punishment" was a word coined by Gruad for the Atlantean vocabulary.)
Immanentize the Eschaton

File:Immanentize the eschaton.jpg  **Immanentizing the Eschaton** is an important event in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

## Historical

### **Meaning**

**Immanentize:** to bring about to the immanent realm (the realm of man). Essentially, to "make really real."

**Eschaton:** Speculated to be the peaceful and heavenly state of humankind's future history: a true golden age before the species end.

## Conspiratorial

It can be a cross between Armageddon and "Heaven on Earth"... but, metaphorically, it could simply be viewed as a revolution, or the end of an era.

The term **Eschaton** refers to the end of the present world and is addressed in the study of eschatology. In *TIT* the idea of 'Immanentizing the Eschaton' is repeated. In political theory and theology, to immanentize the eschaton means trying to bring about the eschaton (the end of the world).
Freemasonry

**Freemasonry** or **Masonry** refers to fraternal organisations that trace their origins to the local guilds of stonemasons that, from the end of the 14th century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. Modern Freemasonry broadly consists of two main recognition groups: Regular Freemasonry, which insists that a volume of scripture be open in a working lodge, that every member professes belief in a Supreme Being, that no women be admitted, and that the discussion of religion and politics do not take place within the lodge; and Continental Freemasonry, which consists of the jurisdictions that have removed some, or all, of these restrictions.

The basic, local organisational unit of Freemasonry is the Lodge. These private Lodges are usually supervised at the regional level (usually coterminous with a state, province, or national border) by a Grand Lodge or Grand Orient. There is no international, worldwide Grand Lodge that supervises all of Freemasonry; each Grand Lodge is independent, and they do not necessarily recognise each other as being legitimate.

The degrees of Freemasonry retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of Entered Apprentice, Journeyman or fellow (now called Fellowcraft), and Master Mason. The candidate of these three degrees is progressively taught the meanings of the symbols of Freemasonry and entrusted with grips, signs, and words to signify to other members that he has been so initiated. The degrees are part allegorical morality play and part lecture. These three degrees form Craft (or Blue Lodge) Freemasonry, and members of any of these degrees are known as **Freemasons** or **Masons**. Once the Craft degrees have been conferred upon a Mason, he is qualified to join various "Concordant bodies" which offer additional degrees. These organisations are usually administered separately from the Grand Lodges who administer the Craft degrees. The extra degrees vary with locality and jurisdiction.
Concepcion Galore

**Concepcion Galore** is a young lady who stayed with Fission Chips (00005) at the Hotel Durrutti in Santa Isobel, Fernando Poo. She casually told him about "lloigors" and her impressions of the Starry Wisdom Church, which was enough to convince him that they were a front for BUGGER. When she is eventually found dead, Chips blames BUGGER.

### **Trivia**

As 00005 is a pun on 007 (James Bond), Concepcion Galore's name is a pun on a character in the James Bond franchise named Pussy Galore.
Eris

File:Eris.jpg
**Eris** (Greek) aka **Discordia** (Roman) is the goddess of Discord and Strife. She is the primary deity of the Discordians.

Saul Goodman on Eris: "There was a banquet on Olympus, and Eris wasn't invited, because she was the Goddess of Discord and always made trouble. So, to get even, she made more trouble: she created a beautiful golden apple and wrote on it *Kallisti*. That means 'for the prettiest one' in Greek. It's what the K stands for, obviously. Then she rolled it into the banquet hall, and, naturally, all the goddesses there immediately claimed it, each one saying that she was 'the prettiest one.' Finally, old man Zeus himself, to settle the squabble, allowed Paris to decide which goddess was the prettiest and should get the apple. He chose Aphrodite, and as a reward she gave him an opportunity to kidnap Helen, which led to the Trojan War."
Harry Coin

Harry Coin is a character in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

## Conspiratorial

Knights Templar

The **Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon** (Latin: *Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Salomonici*), also known as the **Order of Solomon's Temple**, the **Knights Templar**, or simply the **Templars**, was a Catholic military order, one of the wealthiest and most popular military orders in Western Christianity. They were founded circa 1119, headquartered on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages.
Illuminati Project Memo 2

**ILLUMINATI PROJECT: MEMO *#2***

7/23

***J.M .**:*

My second source was more helpful: Akron Daraul, *A History of Secret Societies*(Citadel Press, New York, 1961).

Daraul traces the Illuminati back to the 11th century also, but not to Joachim of Floris .

He sees the origin in the Ishmaelian sect of Islam, also known as the Order of Assassins.

They were vanquished in the 13th century, but later made a comeback with a new, less violent Philosophy and eventually became the Ishmaelian sect of today, led by the Aga Khan. However, in the 16th century, in Afghanistan, the Illuminated Ones (Roshinaya) picked up the original tactics of the Order of Assassins . They were wiped out by an alliance of the Moguls and Persians (pages 220-223). But, "The beginning of the seventeenth century saw the foundation of the Illuminated Ones of Spain -the Allumbrados, condemned by an edict of the Grand Inquisition in 1623. In 1654, the 'illuminated' Guerinets came into public notice in France." And, finally-the part you're most interested in- the Bavarian IIluminati  was founded on May Day, 1776, in Ingolstadt , Bavaria, by Adam Weishaupt , a former Jesuit . "Documents still extant show several points of resemblance between the German and Central Asian I'himi-nists: points that are hard to account for on grounds of pure coincidence" (page 255). Weishaupt's Illuminati were suppressed by the Bavarian government in 1785; Daraul also mentions the Illuminati of Paris in the 1880s, but suggests it was simply a passing fad. He does not accept the notion that the Illuminati still exist today.

This is beginning to look big. Why are we keeping the details from George ?

**Pat**
Saul Goodman

A New York City detective partnered with Barney Muldoon. Together they are tasked with the investigation of the bombing of Confrontation magazine and the disappearance of it's editor Joseph Malik. When they discover the magazine's investigation of the John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, they find a string of mysterious memos suggesting the involvement of a powerful secret society, the Illuminati. The Narrator is first fully embodied as Saul Goodman..

He is married to Rebecca Goodman.

His name is an allusion to the anarchist Paul Goodman, with a nod to the bible story of Paul of Tarsus.
Tobias Knight

**Tobias Knight** was described as having a "walrus mustache," and was (likely) the world's first pentuple agent: FBI, CIA, A A, Illuminati, LDD (also GL, Naval Intelligence, Pinkertons) Ringo Erigena, Prince of Wands E. He had a prejudice against Italians (and referred to them as the w-slur).

Exhibited confusion of true identity (near disassociation-level), was confounded by his desire to be a "puppet, collecting sets of strings," and expressed a very mutable and malleable personality.

Historically, "Tobias Nights" (also known as "Joseph's Nights") were a period of time after the wedding ceremony in which the newlyweds were expected to remain chaste. This was anywhere from one to "several" nights (three was customary). This was done out of fear of divine wrath. Tobias Nights could be avoided if you paid a fee to your bishop.

Necronomicon

The ***Necronomicon*** is an occultic book mentioned in the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. In real life, it is generally considered to be non-existent, although books purporting to be the Necronomicon have been produced. It is an important book in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy.*

In *TiT,* Dr. John Dee translated Abdul Alhazred's original. It was donated to Miskatonic Library by the late Dr. Henry Armitage. Miss Doris Horus, the librarian, perceived it as having, "All those strange illustrations, always with five-sided borders just like the Pentagon in Washington, but with those people inside doing all those freaky sex acts with those other creatures who weren't people at all."
Church of the SubGenius

The **Church of the SubGenius** is a a religion or parody religion that satirizes better-known belief systems.

It teaches a complex philosophy that focuses on J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, purportedly a salesman from the 1950s, who is revered as a prophet by the Church. SubGenius leaders have developed detailed narratives about Dobbs and his relationship to various gods and conspiracies. In its narratives, the Church presents a blend of cultural references in an elaborate remix of the sources. The group holds that the quality of "Slack" is of utmost importance, but it is never clearly defined.

## Historical

The Church of the SubGenius was founded by Ivan Stang (born Douglas St. Clair Smith) and Philo Drummond (born Steve Wilcox) as the SubGenius Foundation. Dr. X (born Monte Dhooge) was also present at the group's inception. The organization's first recorded activity was the publication of a photocopied document, *Sub Genius Pamphlet #1*, disseminated in Dallas, Texas in 1979. The document announced the impending end of the world and the possible deaths of its readers. It criticized Christian conceptions of God and New Age perceptions of spirituality.

The SubGenius Foundation was legally formed in 1980.

## Conspiratorial

The church claims it was begun in 1953 by J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, Connie Marsh Dobbs, and others. "Bob" (his name is properly rendered in quotation marks) was contacted by the god Jehovah-1. Also called JHVH-1-Horus-Baal-Osiris this is an extraterrestrial who contacted Dobbs in the 1950s. Various accounts state that the encounter occurred while Dobbs was building a television or watching late-night television.

Jehovah 1 and his spouse Eris are regarded by the Church as "relatively evil," and re classified as "rebel gods."

Illuminati sacrifices

**Illuminati Sacrifices**are claimed to be real by conspiracy theorists.

## Historical

Vlad the Impaler, in full Vlad III Dracula or Romanian Vlad III Drăculea, also called Vlad III, is considered one of the most important rulers in Wallachian history and a national hero of Romania. The Dracula legend sometimes links him with the Illuminati, but there's little or no historical proof.

or Romanian **Vlad Țepeș**, (born 1431, Sighișoara, Transylvania [now in Romania]—died 1476, north of present-day Bucharest, Romania), *voivode* (military governor, or prince) of Walachia (1448; 1456–1462; 1476) whose cruel methods of punishing his enemies gained notoriety in 15th-century Europe. Some in the scholarly community have suggested that Bram Stoker’s Dracula character was based on Vlad.

## Conspiratorial

The Illuminati is sometimes accused of human 'blood letting' by the Illuminati and their proxies to "God", "Baphomet", "Moloch" or "Satan". These rituals are alleged to sacrifice humans. Officially, these rituals to bleed terrified humans are known as Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA). On a spirtual level, the Illuminati satanists are consuming the terror from their victims. They believe that these sacrifices will satisfy the leader of the Illuminati, whom many speculate is the entity known only as "They".

In some instances, there may also be a physical consumption of the object of the sacrifice - either literally (eg. cannibalism) or by insinuation (eg. burning effigies).
Illuminati: New World Order

***Illuminati: New World Order*** (*INWO*) is a conspiracy collectible card game (CCG).

## Historical

It was released in 1994 by Steve Jackson Games, based on their original boxed game *Illuminati*, which in turn was inspired by the 1975 book *The Illuminatus! Trilogy* by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. An OMNI sealed-deck league patterned after the Atlas Games model was also developed. It led to a board game by the same company.

## Conspiratorial

The game dealt with various fictional conspiracies before they became common on the Internet.

It became the subject of a conspiracy theory itself. A report claimed it predicted the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the United States, and an article in March 2020 reported that attack, the 2018 Las Vegas shooting, and the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic of 2019-2020.

Pre 9/11 Hints
Order of the Pineapple

The **Order of the Pineapple** or **DisOrder of the Pineapple** honors those who have given extraordinary service to “the participatorial study of comedic attitudes and eccentric tendencies.” It is an annual honorary award given on 18 January or Pat Pineapple Day.

## Origin

The Ĕk-sĕn-trĭks Cluborguild created the Order on 18 January 1982. The Mt. Santa Juanita College club honored Founding Vice President Alien, who was presented with a pineapple. This was the 50th birthday of Robert Anton Wilson. Bonnie, a friend of Wilson's murdered daughter Luna, was reportedly a member of the cluborguild.

Since then, the award has been given by several different groups. In addition to being awarded by the original Ĕk-sĕn-trĭks Cluborguild (1982-1987), it was given by the Merry Archers of Paganus Grimlove (1988-1990), Earth Chapter Five of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild (1991-1994), the Discordian Division of the Ek-sen-triks CluborGuild (2007-2010), and the Order of the Pineapple itself (2011-).  The award was apparently not given from 1995-2006.

Honorees traditionally consume something containing or resembling pineapple on Pat Pineapple Day (18 January). However, creativity is accepted in what is considered pineappley.

## A.I.S.S.

An ancient famous forerunner of the Order was Scotsman John Murray. The 4th Earl of Dunmore, and Governor of New York Province, organised Black Loyalists into the Ethiopian Regiment. He was one of the first activists of the Black Lives Matter movement, granting liberty to Blacks from enslavement by White Patriot masters. Returning to Scotland, he built the order's still-standing sanctuary, which hosts the initiation ceremonies at The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Scotland, a building known as Dunmore Pineapple. As a result, it could be argued that the modern Order of the Pineapple is a restoration of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of the Pineapple.

## Palazzo Massimo alle Terme

A related pineapple mystery is in the Palazzo Massimo alle Terme. The museum lies close to Termini train station in Rome. It houses one of the world's most important collections of Classical art.
The museum's second floor houses a gallery dedicated to Roman mosaics and frescoes. On the mosaic floor, among pomegranates and figs and grapes, is a pineapple. This is a perplexing mystery. While the mosaic dates from the early First Century A.D., the pineapple wasn't known in that area until about the 15th century.

Atlanta Hope

**Atlanta Hope** is a minor character in Th*e Illuminatus! Trilogy* .

## Conspiratorial

Hope is the author of *Militarism: The Unknown Ideal for the New Heracleitean* and *Telemachus Sneezed*. She was a feminist before turning to Objectivism, the Religious Right, and the Ku Klux Klan as the leader of God's Lightning. Hope is a parody of the Ayn Rand and her novel *Telemachus Sneezed* is a parody of *Atlas Shrugged*, with it's catch phrase "Who is John Galt?" replaced with "What is John Guilt?" Unlike Rand, Hope is fixated on Heraclitus instead of Aristotle.
Conspiracy theory

A **conspiracy theory** is an explanation for an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable. The term has a negative connotation, implying that the appeal to a conspiracy is based on prejudice or insufficient evidence.

Atlantis

**Atlantis** is a fictional island first mentioned in an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato's works *Timaeus* and *Critias*.

## Historical

There is no documented evidence that Atlantis exists or ever existed.

## Conspiratorial

Atlantis is an important location in Francis Bacon's *New Atlantis*, Thomas More's *Utopia*, and Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.
Mafia

## Info

Members of the mafia are moved into the same house during the night, where they may talk to each other, and hear results from other members. The only exceptions to this are the Recruit and Puppeteer.

In addition to performing their individual abilities, the mafia may also decide on one player to kill each night. A random member of the mafia will kill this target as their secondary action. Players will be prioritised in this order: Criminals, blocked/non-visiting members, then visiting members. This means that if there are any criminals alive, one of them will visit the target. If all criminals are blocked, or there are none, another non-visiting member will visit the target. If all these players are blocked (or blocked twice in the case of a player whose primary action was blocked that night), one of the other members will perform the kill alongside their primary action.

## Win Condition

The mafia wins when no opposing roles remain, which may be a member of the village, or any neutral role that can win on their own. If the game comes to a stalemate, meaning there is an equal number of mafia and non-mafia players, and no kill or hanging can occur, the mafia wins. This includes the mafia not wanting to kill a remaining veteran or protected target.
Principia Discordia

***Principia Discordia*** is a Discordian religious text written by Gregory Hill (Malaclypse the Younger) and Kerry Wendell Thornley (Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst). It was originally published under the title "Principia Discordia or How The West Was Lost" in a limited edition of 5 copies in 1965. The name, meaning "The Principles of Strife", probably deviates from correct Latin which would read *Principia Discordiæ*, though "Discordia" might be taken as an adjective (analogous to the title of Russel's and Whitehead's *Principia Mathematica*), thus *Principia Discordia* would mean something along the lines of "Discordian/Strife-ish Principles".

There have been multiple subsequent editions of the text, some of which have been heavily modified from the original. The first widely available and most well-known edition was published by Loompanics Unlimited in 1980, under the title *Principia Discordia, Or, How I Found Goddess and What I Did to Her When I Found Her: The Magnum Opiate of Malaclypse the Younger*. This edition substantially updates the text, removing several sections from previous editions, and adding a substantial amount of additional text. A subsequent edition was published by Steve Jackson Games in 1994, under the title *Principia Discordia or, How I Found Goddess, and What I Did to Her When I Found Her, The Magnum Opiate of Malaclypse the Younger, wherein is explained Absolutely Everything Worth Knowing About Absolutely Anything*; and includes additional modifications and added text.

It is a common misconception that the *Principia Discordia* is based on snippets and quotes given in the *Illuminatus!* Trilogy, instead Wilson and Shea belonged to the original Discordian circle and had access to the book.
Gregory Hill

**Gregory Hill**, who is better known by the pen name **Malaclypse the Younger** (Mal-2), was one of the two writers of the *Principa Discordia*, along with Kerry Wendell Thornley (aka Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst).

## Historical

Gregory H. Hill was born in California on Wednesday, May 21, 1941. He worked for Western Union while a young man in the Southern California area of Whittier, California.

Hill spent much of his life working for Bank of America as a computer programmer, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. He had apparently visited there while a child.

Robert Anton Wilson stated, in the lecture "The I in the Triangle" from 1990, that Greg Hill was at the time the head of a large computer facility owned by one of the largest banks in the United States.

A designer of one of the early video games, Hill wrote about computers including editing a computer-oriented newsletter. He also published an article proposing using a computer to transmit signals to remotely control robots.

He was married to Jeanetta; they later separated and may have divorced.

He died in the San Francisco Bay Area of California on the July 20, 2000. A long-time smoker, he died of cancer.

## Conspiratorial

Around 1958 or 1959 while still a teenager, he, Kerry Thornley, and others began working on the Discordian religion.

In 1965, the first edition of *Principia Discordia* was printed, allegedly in five copies. The most famous edition was the fourth.

In 1994, he and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst were inducted into the Order of the Pineapple.

Greg Hill described Mal-2 as a spirit sent into him by Eris that helped him write the *Principia Discordia* over the course of ten years in his early adulthood. An interview included in the fourth edition of the *Principia Discordia* by Loompanics Press reveals that Mal-2 left once the book was finished. He claims Mal-2 returned to leave a fifth and final edition consisting solely of a Western Union telegraph form filled with the letter "M". Greg Hill also reveals that he had access to Western Union forms when he worked at Western Union.
Fission Chips

**Fission Chips** a.k.a., **00005**, is a secret agent in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy.*

## Conspiratorial

In the trilogy, he was born August 6, 1945 (Hiroshima Day).

His name is a pun based on Fish and Chips, a typical, even stereotypical, English meal.

English Secret Agent obsessed with BUGGER; tawny-skinned, coffee-colored women (like Concepcion Galore) are his Holy Grail; named by father who cared more about physics than humanities, dark hair combed straight back, piercing eyes, cruel handsome face, trim athlete's body.

Reports to W.
Legion of Dynamic Discord

The LDD

"The LDD ... New members are told the initials stand for *Legion of Dynamic Discord*. Later on, quite often, the leader, a most fetching scoundrel and madman named Celine, sometimes tells them it really stands for *Little Deluded Dupes*. That's the *pans asinorum*, or an early *pans asinorum*, in Celine's System. He judges them by how they react to that."

### **Hagbard Saves Simon**

Just after rescuing Simon Moon from a legal situation, Hagbard Celine converses with him.

**Simon:** "You're in the dope business, too?"

**Hagbard:** "I'm in every illegal business. Every time a government declares something verboten, two groups move in to service the black market created: the Mafia and the LDD. That stands for *Lawless Delicacy Dealers*."

**Simon:** "I thought it stood for *Little Deluded Dupes*."

**Hagbard:** (laughs) "Score one for Moon. Seriously, I'm the worst enemy governments have, and the best protection for the average person. The Mafia has no ethics, you know. If it wasn't for my group and our years and years of experience, everything on the black market, from dope to Canadian furs, would be shoddy and unreliable. We always give the customer his or her money's worth. Half the dope you sell probably has passed through my agents on its way to you. The better half."

### **George's Joining**

Hagbard asks George Dorn to join LDD after they break him out of Mad Dog County Jail.

**Hagbard:** "Before you get any deeper, George, I'd like you to become one of us."

**George:** "Which means what?"

**Hagbard:** "Become a Legionnaire in the Legion of Dynamic Discord."

**George:** (laughs) "Now that sounds like a gas. But it's hard to believe that an organization with an absurd name like that could build anything as serious as this submarine, or work for such a serious end as foiling the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria."

**Hagbard:** (shakes head) "What's serious about a yellow submarine? It's right out of a rock song. And everybody knows people who worry about the Bavarian Illuminati are crackpots. Will you join the Legion— in whatever spirit you choose?"

### **Mama Sutra's Version**

"...Hagbard, who had been wandering around Europe aimlessly, was recruited to start a new front for the Cult, to fight the United States both politically and religiously. This front, Mama Sutra said, was called the Legion of Dynamic Discord, and, while it pretended to be against all governments, it was actually devoted only to harming the U.S. He was given a submarine (which he later claimed to have designed himself) and became an important cog in the Mafia heroin-smuggling business. More important, his crew — renegades and misfits from all nations—were indoctrinated in a deliberately nonsensical variety of mysticism."

### **Known Members**

George Dorn's initation is covered with great detail.

Miss Mao and Episkopos Jim Cartwright of the Mad Dog Cabal initate Tobias Knight (of the FBI, the CIA, the A:.A:. and the Illuminati), forming the first known pentuple agent and giving the puppet his fifth set of strings.
Bucky Fuller

**Richard Buckminster Fuller** (/ˈfʊlər/; July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist.

## Historical

Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", "Dymaxion" house/car, ephemeralization, synergetic, and "tensegrity". He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres.

Fuller was the second World President of Mensa from 1974 to 1983.

## Conspiratorial

In *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*, Fuller is one of few people to be aware that he lives on a spaceship.

**Starry Wisdom Church** aka **Starry Wisdom Sect**  or **Church of Starry Wisdom**, is the name of a religious group and a musical group.

## Historical

The Church of Starry Wisdom is also the name of a musical group. They use a form of the triangle in a circle symbol commonly associated with the church, and some of their songs deal with themes related to Lovecraft's writings and the trilogy.

### *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*

Concepcion Galore described it as a church. It is located in Santa Isobelon at Tequilla y Mota Street, what used to be Lumumba Street, but was Franco Street when I she was a girl.

Galore told Fission Chips (agent 00005) it was a "funny" church. She said that, when she worked in the telegraph office, she frequently saw their telegrams. They were all in code and never were to another church. Instead, the telegrams were always to banks all over Europe and through North and South America. Chips immediately became convinced they were a front for BUGGER.

It was reported that Lillibridge the reporter and Blake the painter had both died investigating the sect.

Chips did not find the Starry Wisdom Church to be a proper ecclesiastical shop by any means. He found the architecture a shade too Gothic, the stained-glass windows a bit suggestive. The altar did not feature a crucifix, but a design that he found more than suggestive.

Chips thought the pews seemed designed for reptiles, although he did believe that a church should be uncomfortable as that was "good for the soul." The stained glass windows featured Saint Toad and a shoggoth.

The book upon the pulpit wasn't a Bible, but a book that spoke of Yog Sothoth, the *Necronomicon*,

The altar was made of marble, and had something on it similar to rust (possibly blood).

### H.P. Lovecraft

Starry Wisdom was borrowed from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. There, the Church of Starry Wisdom, or *Starry Wisdom Cult*, worships Nyarlathotep in his aspect as the Haunter of the Dark. It was founded in the mid 19th Century by Professor Enoch Bowen, a renowned archeologist and occultist. The design on the altar mentioned in the trilogy was likely Lovecraft's Shining Trapezohedron which was used to summon the Haunter of the Dark. The being demanded sacrifices in exchanged for unlimited knowledge.
Robert Anton Wilson

**Robert Anton Wilson** (born **Robert Edward Wilson**; January 18, 1932 – January 11, 2007) was an American author, novelist, essayist, editor, playwright, poet, futurist, and self-described agnostic mystic.

## Conspiratorial

Recognized by Discordianism as an Episkopos, Pope, and Saint, Wilson helped publicize the group through his writings and interviews. He's most well known as the co-author of *The Illuminatus! Trilogy* along with Robert Shea.

In 1992, he was inducted into the Order of the Pineapple. The award is traditionally given on his birthday.
Rebecca Goodman

**Rebecca Goodman**, maiden name Murphy and second wife of Saul Goodman, is a former anthropology major who minored in psychology in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

## Conspiratorial

She is one of the most knowledgeable people in *TIT*. When she met Saul, she was working as a prostitute and was addicted to heroin. At the beginning of the trilogy, she was age 25 and her husband Saul was past age 60.

Early in the *TIT*, she was a source of information for Saul. She knew of the original Illuminati in Italy, Spain, and Germany in the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. She also knew about the twenty-three divisions of the Ishmaelian sect of Islam, and claimed that the Aga Khan led all of them. She believed the modern day Illuminati was a hoax started by students at the University of California, Berkeley, around 1966 or 1967.

### Spoiler alert

Rebecca wrote a memoir of her husband Saul Goodman named *He Opened the Cages.* She wrote while grieving his loss from a heart attack in 1983. The book is almost as popular in political-science classes as is her study of comparative mythology, *The Golden Apples of the Sun, the Silver Apples of the Moon,* is in anthropology classes.

She was not Jewish as commonly believed, and was named after *Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.*
Bill Drummond

**William Ernest Drummond** aka **King Boy D** is a Scottish artist, musician, writer, and record producer. In 1976, he was the set designer for the first stage production of *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*. He was the co-founder with Jimmy Cauty of the late 1980s avant-garde pop group The KLF and also of its 1990s media-manipulating successor, the K Foundation, with which he famously burned £1 million in 1994.
Howard

**Howard** is a dolphin,and one of the earliest allies of Hagbard Celine to appear in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy.* He is a member of a delphian secret society.

It is via Howard that we know dolphin history is a purely oral tradition, relayed by epic poem and song, since dolphins have no written language ("delphine" is only spoken).
Abdul Alhazred

**Abdul Alhazred**, called the "mad Arab" or the "mad poet," is listed as the author of the Necronomicon in both H.P. Lovecraft's original works and in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

## Conspiratorial

In 1927, Lovecraft wrote a brief pseudo-history of the *Necronomicon.* It was published in 1938, after his death, as "History of the *Necronomicon*". According to this account, the book was originally called '**Al Azif'**, an Arabic word that Lovecraft defined as "that nocturnal sound (made by insects) supposed to be the howling of demons", drawing on a footnote by Samuel Henley in Henley's translation of "Vathek". Henley, commenting upon a passage which he translated as "those nocturnal insects which presage evil", alluded to the diabolic legend of Beelzebub, "Lord of the Flies" and to Psalm 91:5, which in some 16th Century English Bibles (such as Myles Coverdale's 1535 translation) describes "bugges by night" where later translations render "terror by night". One Arabic/English dictionary translates *`Azīf* (عزيف) as "whistling (of the wind); weird sound or noise". Gabriel Oussani defined it as "the eerie sound of the jinn in the wilderness". The tradition of *`azif al jinn* (عزيف الجن) is linked to the phenomenon of "singing sand".

In the "History", Alhazred is said to have been a "half-crazed Arab" who worshipped the Lovecraftian entities Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu in the early 700s CE. He is described as being from Sanaá in Yemen. He visited the ruins of Babylon, the "subterranean secrets" of Memphis and the Empty Quarter of Arabia. In his last years, he lived in Damascus, where he wrote *Al Azif* before his sudden and mysterious death in 738. In subsequent years, Lovecraft wrote, the *Azif* "gained considerable, though surreptitious circulation amongst the philosophers of the age." In 950, it was translated into Greek and given the title '**Necronomicon'** by Theodorus Philetas, a fictional scholar from Constantinople. This version "impelled certain experimenters to terrible attempts" before being "suppressed and burnt" in 1050 by Patriarch Michael (a historical figure who died in 1059).
Discordianism

**Discordianism** is a religion based upon the book *Principia Discordia.*

## Historical

The book was written by Greg Hill with Kerry Wendell Thornley in 1963, the two working under the pseudonyms Malaclypse the Younger and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst.

The *Principia Discordia*, if read literally, encourages the worship of the Greek goddess Eris, known in Latin as Discordia, the goddess of disorder, or archetypes and ideals associated with her. Depending on the version of Discordianism, Eris might be considered the goddess exclusively of disorder or the goddess of disorder and chaos. Both views are supported by the *Principia Discordia*. The *Principia Discordia* holds three core principles: the Aneristic (order), the Eristic (disorder), and the notion that both are mere illusions. Due to these principles, a Discordian believes there is no distinction between order and disorder, since they are both man-made conceptual divisions of the pure element of chaos. An argument presented by the text is that it is only by rejecting these principles that you can truly perceive reality as it is, chaos.

## Conspiratorial

Some sources, including *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*, claim the disorganized Discordians are in opposition to the highly organized Illuminati.
23

The number **23** is used in Discordianism, by the Church of the SubGenius, and in *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*. It is used to represent the unknown, an occult organising system or sign within an organising system, or a sign of a conspiracy.

the earliest use of the code in this way is William Burroughs seminal text Academy 23

In the trilogy, 23 is used as an organising method also by The KLF - for example in their 23 year moratorium which ended in 2017 and also in their book 2023 see 2023: A Trilogy which reuses various figures from the Illuminatus Trilogy such as FUCKUP which they slightly alter to FUUCKUP.
Erisian Liberation Front

The **Erisian Liberation Front**, or **ELF**, is a violent underground of guerilla theologians in the service of chaos. ELF guerillas deal daily with cosmic entities that would devour their souls if not for the protection of Eris -- and who sometimes do anyway. Their lives tend to be short but glorious. They eschew the studious understanding of the Paratheo-Anametamystikhood of Eris Esoteric in favor of bringing to bear as much raw divine power as they can against the forces of order.

The power of the ELF is derived from the invocation of various gods who are, in one way or another, associated with the forces of chaos. As the favor of Eris is with ELF members, these entities will often provide beneficial effects when invoked, rather than simply devouring their soul as they would normally.

Their effectiveness at invocation depends on a number of basic factors. Perhaps the most important is simple time: the more time has passed since an ELF member last invoked a being, the more amenable to his/her requests it will be. Invoking someone with great frequency is a good way to convince a supernatural power that the ELF's spiritual essence would make a tasty appetizer. Willpower and charisma are essential to the activity; being lucky will help, but is far from reliable.

ELF's pursues the activist promotion of an order that ultimately yields disorder and the preservation of unique natural conditions supporting individuality in human existence. They participate in a movement for the homo neophilus genre through contrarianism.
Adam Weishaupt

**Johann Adam Weishaupt** was a German philosopher and professor who founded the Bavarian Illuminati, also called the Illuminati.

## Historical

On May 1, 1776 Weishaupt founded the "Illuminati" in the Electorate of Bavaria. He adopted the name of "**Brother Spartacus**" within the order. Even encyclopedia references vary on the goal of the order, such as *New Advent* saying the Order was not egalitarian or democratic internally, but sought to promote the doctrines of equality and freedom throughout society; while others such as *Collier's* have said the aim was to combat religion and foster rationalism in its place.

The actual character of the society was an elaborate network of spies and counter-spies. Each isolated cell of initiates reported to a superior, whom they did not know: a party structure that was effectively adopted by some later groups.

Weishaupt was initiated into the Masonic lodge "Theodor zum guten Rath", at Munich in 1777. His project of "illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason, which will dispel the clouds of superstition and of prejudice" was an unwelcome reform. He used Freemasonry to recruit for his own quasi-masonic society, with the goal of "perfecting human nature" through re-education to achieve a communal state with nature, freed of government and organized religion. Presenting their own system as pure masonry, Weishaupt and Adolph Freiherr Knigge, who organised his ritual structure, greatly expanded the secret organisation.

Contrary to Immanuel Kant's famous dictum that Enlightenment (and Weishaupt's Order was in some respects an expression of the Enlightenment Movement) was the passage by man out of his 'self-imposed immaturity' through daring to 'make use of his own reason, without the guidance of another,' Weishaupt's Order of Illuminati prescribed in great detail everything which the members had obediently to read and think, so that Dr. Wolfgang Riedel has commented that this approach to illumination or enlightenment constituted a degradation and twisting of the Kantian principle of Enlightenment. Riedel writes:

'The independence of thought and judgement required by Kant ... was specifically prevented by the Order of the Illuminati's rules and regulations. Enlightenment takes place here, if it takes place at all, precisely *under* the direction of another, namely under that of the "Superiors" [of the Order].

Weishaupt's radical rationalism and vocabulary were not likely to succeed. Writings that were intercepted in 1784 were interpreted as seditious, and the Society was banned by the government of Karl Theodor, Elector of Bavaria, in 1784. Weishaupt lost his position at the University of Ingolstadt and fled Bavaria.

## Conspiratorial

It is alleged that Weishaupt impersonated America's first president George Washington. Some people claim it's his picture on the American $1 bill.
George Dorn

### Groups

Students for a Democratic Society (formerly); the Weather Underground (formerly); the Legion of Dynamic Discord

### Allies

Stella Maris, Joseph Malik

**George Dorn** (born 1952), is a staff writer for *Confrontation*. He is from Nutley, New Jersey. He is a Capricorn. He has shoulder-length blond hair. He was initiated into LDD by Stella Maris; attended Columbia University where he pursued a liberal-arts curriculum; used to be in SDS and close to Weatherman faction; G&AT uniform of green tunic with tiny golden apple on left breast, tight black trousers, black boots; fashionable cutaway and knee breeches of red velvet with bottle-green stockings. He is sent to Mad Dog, Texas to pursue leads on a conspiracy story. He is arrested for drug possession and ends up being psychologically tortured. Eventually, he is broken out by Discordians under instruction from Hagbard Celine. It is from this point that he becomes further embroiled in the struggle between the Discordian Society and the Illuminati.
UFO

An **unidentified flying object** (**UFO**) is any perceived aerial phenomenon that cannot be immediately identified or explained. On investigation, most UFOs are identified as known objects or atmospheric phenomena, while a small number remain unexplained.

## Historical

While unusual sightings have been reported in the sky throughout history, UFOs did not achieve their current cultural prominence until the period after World War II, escalating during the Space Age. The 20th century saw studies and investigations into UFO reports conducted by governments (such as Projects Grudge and Sign in the United States, and Project Condign in the United Kingdom), as well as by organisations and individuals.

## Conspiratorial

UFOs are sometimes an element of conspiracy theories in which governments are allegedly intentionally "covering up" the existence of aliens by removing physical evidence of their presence or even collaborating with extraterrestrial beings. There are many versions of this story; some are exclusive, while others overlap with various other conspiracy theories.

In the U.S., an opinion poll conducted in 1997 suggested that 80% of Americans believed the U.S. government was withholding such information. Various notables have also expressed such views. Some examples are astronauts Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell, Senator Barry Goldwater, Vice Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter (the first CIA director), Lord Hill-Norton (former British Chief of Defense Staff and NATO head), the 1999 French COMETA study by various French generals and aerospace experts, and Yves Sillard (former director of CNES, new director of French UFO research organization GEIPAN).

It has also been suggested by a few paranormal authors that all or most human technology and culture is based on extraterrestrial contact or "ancient astronauts."
