May 1st and the Illuminati

Happy International Workers Day! 🎉 In case you haven’t seen our previous May 1st story, we wanted to make sure you aren’t missing out another important celebration. May 1st is famous as the international workers day or Labour Day. But for secrets and conspiracy enthusiasts it is also the founding day of the illuminati. 🤫

The founder, Adam Weishaupt was a Bavarian law professor. A radical thinker for his time and to his fellow secret society members famous as “Brother Spartacus”. So, his goal was was of illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason which will dispel the clouds of superstition.

The secret society operated in secrecy. Many members were recruited from the Freemason lodge, where Weishaupt was initiated. In 1784, however, 8 years after the foundation of the Illuminati, the society was banned by the Elector of Bavaria. Weishaupt lost his role as professor at the university of Ingolstadt and spent the rest of his life in exile.
