The Secret World - Global Centres of Power

Date: 05-20-2010 Views: Loading Comments: Loading

Global Centres of Power


By their very nature, secret societies are hidden and little is known about them by the general public. However in my research I have uncovered their presence in several countries throughout the world.

Of course, no one society can totally dominate a country (although I'm sure they would disagree with me), so you will likely find representation of all three in any place of interest. But certainly they can extert greater influence in some cities. And it is in these cities where you find neighbourhoods where the walls between our world and the occult are thinner. This, along with their population size and resources, makes them ideal locations for society headquarters.

Later, as I uncover more information, each location could have it's own article. But for now I will share with you what I know of each country and hub city in this article.


United States of America - New York City

The US has many ley lines of interest, including Kingsmouth in New England which has already been carefully documented in The Mysterium Magnum. The seat of power for one society is however in New York City.

The dominant faction here is The Illuminati.


United Kingdom - London

The United Kingdom has a long and rich history, which also means more than it's fair share of myths and legends. Places of power are many, and include world famous landmarks such as Stonehenge.

Perhaps the least secret of the societies is The Templars, and it will therefore be no surprise to some that their hub city is London.


South Korea - Seoul

Situated geographically equi-distant from the US and the UK is South Korea. It is perhaps no suprise then that this is the home of The Dragon, who see themselves as the balancing point between the other two societies. However, we have yet to uncover skyline images of Seoul and the image you see to the left is that of Shanghai China. It may be that the influence of the Dragon spreads right across asia, and that Shanghai may be another powerbase.

Again, there is a rich history of legend in both Korea and China. However it seems more hidden and I must dig deeper to sort the truth from the legends before I can share more.
