About this listen

The Hidden Hand: A History of Secret Societies pulls back the curtain on the groups that shaped civilization—not with conspiracy, but with structure, symbolism, and silence. From ancient mystery rites and medieval brotherhoods to Ivy League crypts and Silicon Valley cults, JJ traces the real influence of secret societies across time—without the tinfoil, the paranoia, or the guesswork. This is not a book about who runs the world. It’s a book about how power cloaks itself—through ritual, myth, and the illusion of secrecy. Featuring the Knights Templar, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Illuminati, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, intelligence agencies, and the elite tech circles of today, The Hidden Hand is a map of how the hidden becomes visible… when you know how to look. What They Built. What They Broke. Why It Still Matters.
