Secret organizations are groups that operate in secrecy, often with specific goals or agendas that are not publicly disclosed. These organizations can range from fraternal societies, like the Freemasons, to intelligence agencies, such as the CIA. Their activities may involve political influence, social networking, or even clandestine operations. Many secret organizations have rituals, symbols, and codes that members use to communicate and maintain confidentiality. Some well-known examples include the Illuminati and Skull and Bones. While the existence of these groups can spark curiosity and conspiracy theories, their true influence and activities often remain hidden from the public eye.
