The Illuminati joins forces with Freemasonry at the Congress of Wilhelmsbad. The Comte de Virieu, an attendee at the conference, comes away visibly shaken. When questioned about the "tragic secrets" he brought back with him, he replies: "I will not confide them to you. I can only tell you that all this is very much more serious than you think." From this time on, according to his biographer, "the Comte de Virieu could only speak of Freemasonry with horror." Also in attendence were such (il)luminaries as Cagliostro, Comte Saint Germain, Louis Claude De St. Martin, Thomas Paine, Anton Mesmer and Adam Weishaupt. In 1785 they met again at the Paris convention. |

The Ghost Configuration
"In the year
1809, before
vanishing in
L'Hotel D'Arnais, Philip LeMarchand started to ponder the idea of
working with glass and mirrors to create the ultimate puzzle box.
A gateway to Leviathan’s Labyrinth, capable of
bringing
forth an army of Cenobites to rule the New World. The idea was to
unlock the box with light, using the sun to illuminate it, casting
patterns onto a surface allowing one to solve it in a much larger
scale."
