4 Mind-Bending 'Secrets' of the Illuminati Hidden in Plain Sight

Have you ever watched presidents, celebrities, and global leaders on the world stage and wondered about their public gestures? We see their handshakes and poses, but what if they are not random affectations, but a coded language an occult script being played out right before our eyes? They vowed you would never know. They were wrong.

According to the extensive research compiled in Codex Magica, a deep dive into the alleged secret world of symbols, the global elite communicate using a hidden language of hand signs. As the source warns, this is not a trivial matter, but a “colossal and monstrous conspiracy” unfolding in plain sight. This post distills four of the most surprising takeaways from this text, revealing secrets that, according to the source, are hidden where you’d least expect them.

1. "Hoodwinked": The Biggest Secret Is Kept from Members Themselves

It’s natural to assume that the primary goal of a secret society is to deceive the public. As Codex Magica reveals, however, organizations like the Freemasons don't just mislead outsiders they actively deceive their own lower-level members.

The term for this internal deception is "hoodwink," and its origin is shockingly literal. In the very first degree ritual, a blindfold is placed over the candidate’s eyes and a “cable-tow” is hung around his neck. He is, in the most direct sense, hoodwinked. The source defines this as the intentional effort by the top echelons to keep their own initiates in the dark about the true meaning of the very symbols and rituals they practice. Masonic Sovereign Grand Commander Albert Pike is quoted in the text, stating this principle in no uncertain terms:

Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism, and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it.

This concept is impactful because it suggests the existence of a secret society within the secret society. While millions may join and rise through the ranks, believing they are learning profound truths, the source argues that only a chosen few an "inner brotherhood of the elect" are ever entrusted with the ultimate, mysterious secret.

2. The Hidden Hand of Jahbuhlun: A Centuries-Old Sign of Allegiance

One of the most arresting symbols detailed in the source is the "Hidden Hand." The sign is simple and easily overlooked: a hand tucked inside a coat, waistcoat, or vest.

According to Codex Magica, this is not a casual pose but a specific sign of allegiance for initiates who have reached the level of Royal Arch Mason. At this stage, they are said to learn the name of their "sacred god," a composite deity named Jahbuhlun. The source claims this name is a blasphemous combination of "Yah (or Yahweh), Baal, and Osiris." The initiation for this degree marks what the source calls the “most terrible moment in the life of a Mason,” where the candidate is made to drink wine from a human skull.

The book presents photographic evidence of numerous influential historical figures making this sign, including Napoleon Bonaparte, Karl Marx, and Joseph Stalin. The implication is staggering: that many of history's most powerful and seemingly opposed figures may have been part of the same hidden brotherhood, signaling their allegiance to a secret god.

3. El Diablo: From Rock Concerts to Presidential Inaugurations

Many people recognize the hand gesture with the index finger and pinky extended as the "rock on" or "Hook 'em Horns" sign. It’s a common sight at concerts and sporting events. However, Codex Magica argues that this popular sign has a much older and darker origin.

It presents the case that the gesture is the ancient "sign of El Diablo," or Il Cornuto, a sign of homage to Satan. The text notes that there is frequent confusion between this sign and the American Sign Language gesture for "I love you," a fact which it claims helps conceal its diabolical meaning.

The source provides photographic examples of prominent figures displaying the sign, including President George W. Bush and his family at his 2004 inauguration, as well as former President Bill Clinton. To underscore the interpretation, it cites author Fritz Springmeier:

People that are Christians now, but were Satanists, recognized President Clinton's signal at his inauguration as a sign of Satan. That seems fairly cut and dried, and it is. Clinton communicated what he wanted to the people to whom he wanted to communicate.

Lest there be any doubt about the sign’s sinister associations, the source offers a chilling modern example: a pair of German "vampire satanists" who, after ceremoniously stabbing a victim exactly 66 times and drinking his blood, had one of the murderers flash the El Diablo sign for the cameras.

4. Is "OK" Really 666? The Mundane Gesture with a Sinister Meaning

Perhaps no gesture is more universally understood than the "OK" sign. It signifies agreement, approval, and that all is well. Yet, Codex Magica reveals a sinister meaning hidden in plain sight, drawn from occult traditions.

The source claims that in Satanism, this sign takes on a diabolical meaning. The circle formed by the index finger and thumb is said to represent the sun deity (Lucifer), while the three remaining fingers are shaped to represent three sixes, forming the number 666.

According to the text, this sign is an Illuminist symbol signifying approval from their "Divine King," the Antichrist. Its meaning is allegedly tied to the Latin phrase on the U.S. dollar bill, Annuit Coeptis, which translates to "He approves our undertaking." The book also connects the gesture to ancient Hindu mudras and the worship of Shiva the Destroyer, suggesting ancient, pagan origins. If this interpretation is accepted, one of the world's most common and benign gestures is transformed into a hidden, wicked message.

Let's Conclude: A World of Hidden Meanings

The central theme presented in Codex Magica is that the world is filled with a hidden language of symbols, a secret script used by the elite to communicate right before our eyes. The gestures of power, from presidential inaugurations to international summits, may not be what they seem. They may, in fact, be part of a monstrous conspiracy unfolding in plain sight.

The source argues that this occult script is being played out on the global stage, leaving us with a final, unsettling question to consider the next time we watch the world's elite: Are you going to believe what they tell you, or are you going to believe your lying eyes?
