        If itโ€™s the actual Bavarian Illuminati, then they probably picked you as a credulous, deep-pocketed nobleman who can be pumped for membership dues in return for initiation to an endless ladder of degrees, each revealing profoundly esoteric secrets which donโ€™t actually mean anything. If youโ€™re one of a handful who show themselves to be sceptical and open-minded, perhaps Adam Weishaupt will take you aside and reveal that all that woo was just bullshit to part the rubes from their money, and the true mission of the Illuminati is to spread Enlightenment ideals, such as secularism and anti-monarchism, which the authorities take a very dim view of.

              Hey I got one too! I deleted it, but as I always do I thought of a funny response 10 minutes later... I should have replied with "I'm honored to have been considered and I hope to prove my worth. My mail details are ButtStuffIsFun@anal.mail!"

                      I used to believe that too until I started researching politicians, poets and other influential people in their ranks and their policy positions. Hell no.

                      Some were good people with reasonable positions but they never advanced to any political power. A lot were outspoken fascists, and I'm grateful they remained in art.

                        Greetings to you; I am an agent of the headquarters of the Society of People Who Were Not Good Enough For the Illuminati. You are one of the lucky ones who received this invitation to join the siblinghood, bc we see something great in your fediverse comments that can be raised for the betterment of the world.

                          Their ranks for the 8 or so years they officially existed, or from claims that the Illuminati went underground and were involved in key moments in history? Are you conflating the Bavarian Illuminati with Freemasonry by any chance?

                                As far as I am aware, while they tried to distance themselves, they are the same or closely aligned and/or worked together. Lon Milo Duquette and Manly Palmer Hall have shed a little light on the affiliations, and so called Egypt and Babylon, etc. (Mozart's Magic Flute being a particularly delightful backstory).

                                It's also interesting that so many worshipped in churches while also bringing to AA, OTO, Golden Dawn, which I'm not particularly adverse to, since I've learned to properly understand religions as esoteric rather than exoteric, and I'm not even against Masons or illuminati, per se, but a lot of these people got lost in the sauce and let power go to their heads.

                                https://www.britannica.com/topic/Bavarian-illuminati

                                That said, Freemasonry probably has farther reach. I can't really provide more links, since this work was just a personal interest that I looked into for a few decades and didn't really keep a running file.

                                        I feel pretty certain that masonry has further reach. But that could be because they operate more above board, you can probably find a lodge somewhere near you if you look.
