1. Introduction
Ordo Ingenii, is a fraternal organization that traces its origins to the rise of postmodern culture in the 1970s. Founded on the principles of mutual aid, moral intuition, personal development and technical excellence, Ordo Ingenii has attracted hundreds of thousands of members across the globe and has had a profound, albeit occult, influence on various aspects of society and culture, including literature, the arts and crafts, the trades and services. The organisation is characterised by its secretive nature, its emphasis on ethical sensitivity and its rigorously maintained ‘canon of excellence’. While Ordo Ingenii is not a religion, and eschews all forms of belief, it requires its members to possess radical faith in Living Eternity, and its teachings often intersect with fields of philosophical and spiritual enquiry. Despite its contributions to society, Ordo Ingenii has been the subject of numerous controversies, conspiracy theories, and conflicts throughout its brief history, and has been, from its very inception, persecuted everywhere it has established itself.
