The Illuminati triangle is a valued symbol within the group.

Upon finishing the novel “Angels and Demons” by Dan Brown, I have found an increasing interest with the Illuminati. I know of the group known to create a New World Order, but I, for the most part, brushed off the conspiracy theories I had heard, until finishing this novel.

Brown brings another layer to conspiracies with his incredibly detailed, intriguing novels that delve into symbology, religion and history. I find myself questioning the existence of Illuminati, now. Before, I would raise an eyebrow at the mention of the name, but not take the theory seriously. Now, my interest has peaked more than ever and I want to see if the theory of the Illuminati has any merit.

The Illuminati is said to include many popular celebrities such as Beyonce, Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II and Jim Carrey. The institution is said to create chaos through assassinations and manipulating currency.

Celebrities are related back to the Illuminati through symbolism of goat heads, the God Baphomet, devil horns and the infamous Illuminati triangle. Jay-Z is often conspired to be working with the Illuminati since his videos are filled with these symbols, as well as Lady Gaga. Gaga’s music video “Born This Way” included a goat-headed star formation, basically a sure sign of Illuminati connections according to some theorists.

The fact that celebrities are the believed members of the Illuminati to create a New World Order seems ridiculous.

While many crazed fans may buy into the Illuminati mess, I do not. I find it incredibly far-fetched for a society that has been a conspiracy for hundreds of years to be factual with no physical proof except Jay-Z holding his hands in the shape of a triangle at his concerts. While Dan Brown paints an interesting picture for Illuminati, even his book ended with the whole rouse being fake, so as much as the Illuminati conspiracy passed around, I don’t believe it.
