“Satanist Bonewitz calls the leading Illuminati families ‘Fam-Trads.’ He spells out that Fam-Trads mean the very powerful families that have been the actual ones to pass witchcraft down from one generation to the next. Bonewitz’s article claims that the only coherent lineage of witchcraft was what these powerful families have given us. They were able to pass down witchcraft uninterrupted because they were so powerful. He writes, ‘There is plenty of evidence of ancient Pagan traditions surviving under thin Christian veneers in isolated parts of Christendom, but there is almost nothing logical to suggest that the people leading these traditions were in touch with other…’
How did the leading powerful families continue to practice their witchcraft? Bonewitz’s answer is interesting. He states, ‘Isaac Bonewitz who sits on the Illuminati’s Grand Druid Council wrote in ‘Witchcraft’ (which was a series of articles in the Green Egg in 1976) some very interesting statements about the top Illuminati families. Most members of Fam-Trads made efforts to conceal their ‘superstitious’ beliefs and Pagan magical systems. Instead they became involved in Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism in the 18th century. Spiritualism and Theosophy in the 19th; for all these movements were considered more respectable than witchcraft, and still allowed the Fam-Trads to practice occult arts…So as the years went by, members of the Fam-Trads absorbed more and more from non-pagan magical sources and handed their new information down to each generation, often carelessly letting the descendants think that a Rosicrucian spell or alchemical meditation was a legitimate part of their pagan heritage. So even today we have Fam-Trad witches who are far closer to being Theosophists or Spiritualists than to bring Classical or Neoclassical witches.’ (Bonewitz, Isaac. ‘Witchcraft’ The Green Egg, June 21, 1976, Pt. III pp. 5-6).
In 1770, Lord Petre, Grand Master in the Masonic Lodges in the British colonies appointed John Collins to be the Provincial Grand Master of Quebec. (co-authored by a board of masonic editors, History of the Ancient And Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons & Concordant Orders, Boston & NY: The Fraternity Pub. Co., 1891, p. 225).
I mention John Collins as an example of a powerful 18th century Freemason, who was part of what appears to be the Collins Illuminati family. In previous articles, we have documented how the early 18th century Astors and DuPonts were active Freemasons. The history of these top families does agree with Bonewitz that in order to continue to practice their witchcraft they used the cover of Freemasonry. Later, in the 19th century some of the leading families can be seen to have moved into Spiritualism, such as the British royal family, and Mary Baker Eddy of the Baker family. Interestingly, H.P. Blavatsky who was involved with spiritism started the Theosophical Society and also a periodical named Lucifer in 1887. The woman who co-edited Lucifer with her was the medium (now called a channeler) Mabel Collins. Mabel Collins later had a disagreement with H.P.B. and left (Oppenheim, Janet: The Other World, Cambridge, Eng: Cambridge Univ. Press, p. 182).
And it is possible that a few of the Rockefellers joined Lucis Trust which is an extension of Theosophy as well as members of the Hall family such as Manly P. Hall whose wife was a Bauer (very likely part of the Rothschild bloodline). This pattern that Bonewitz has pointed out to us, is worthy of continued investigation, it is likely that other leading families have also followed the pattern he describes. The Collins family had a branch that shot off from it during the early 1800s which was the Todd family. The Todd family branch remained an important part of the Illuminati.”
This family will be discussed in the next series.
