There were countless intrigues, plots, coup attempts and power struggles throughout the next century, in which the pagans attempted to regain the control of the Empire. But the more that Christianity gained the upper hand, the more the old pagan networks had to operate in secret. Secret societies became the vehicles for not only preserving the old religions, but for plotting the overthrow of the hated Christian order, and planning the revival and return to power of paganism. One school of thought in the pagan resistance believed that the Catholic Church at Rome was too powerful to EVER overthrow, and instead went to work on attempting to INFILTRATE and SUBVERT IT FROM WITHIN, using religious syncretism, attempting to blend pagan beliefs into Catholicism. “If you can’t beat `em, join `em, and then change `em from within.” Even before this time, they had attempted to infiltrate righteous godly Orthodox Judaism and to subvert it through Gnosticism, Neoplatonism and the Kabbalah .
 
The religion is PAGANISM . For generations they have resented how Christianity and Judaism, the religions of the Bible, overthrew and displaced the old pagan gods and and religions. When Christianity conquered the old pagan world, THE PRIESTS OF THE OLD GODS WENT UNDERGROUND to survive. The priests of Jupiter, the priests of Apollo, the priestesses of Isis, the worhippers of Thor, Loki, Wotan, Bel, Ra, Horus, Shiva, Kali, the earth mother, the horned god, the believers in Hinduism, Neoplatonism, theosophy, reincarnation, astrology, placating spirits, wicca, and the Gnostics. These were all driven UNDERGROUND, driven into hiding, when Judaeo-Christian forces conquered the western world. They formed undergrounds, resistance movements, secret societies, for the preservation of “the old ways.” Their enemies had brought the religion of the Bible from ISRAEL, from JERUSALEM, and had trampled the old gods with it, and overthrown their idols, and had brought ruin to the temples of the gods. THE HATED ENEMY WAS THIS CHRISTIANITY, WHICH, HAD SPRUNG FROM A JEWISH WOMB. The religion of the Jews had produced an OFFSPRING religion, Christianity. BOTH were the “BIBLE” believers. Both believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. THIS GOD FROM ISRAEL was the ruin of the pagan temples and the ruin of the wiccan religion, and of countless sorcerers, witches, Druids, witchdoctors, nature worshippers, priests in the temples of ancient Rome, and of the whole pagan world. THE UNDERGROUND PAGAN RESISTANCE dedicated themselves to survive in secret, to regain strength, and to one day RISE AGAIN TO POWER.
