==History of Term== |
|||
It would be correct to say, both etymologically and conceptually, that an illumination and enlightenment can be used interchangeably as regards to spiritual matters. It is an archaic term deriving from the [[French language|French]] ''illuminer''. The term has been used in modern times primarily with respect to and by [[secret society|secret societies]], for the most part, orders that have modeled their practices after the [[mystery cult]]s of the [[Ancient Greece|Hellenic]] world, which flourished around the [[Mediterranean]] coast and [[Near East]] at the period when the [[Roman Empire]] dominated the region and its cultures. |

[[:de:Illuminismus]] |
|||
The word '''Illuminism''', when used as a proper noun, refers specifically to the form of enlightenment or illumination that is a part of advancement in the ranks of various secret societies that claim a common origin with the [[Illuminati]]. As such it is an important concept within [[Discordianism]] as well. The idea of Illumination can be usefully compared to [[Enlightenment (concept)|Enlightenment]], [[Divine grace|Grace]], and [[Satori]] in other spiritual traditions. |

The Illuminist Catholic Church was established in 2008 in California, and formally registered in Australia in 2009. Based in Queensland, it is headed by its foundation Pope, renowned occultist, Margarita Moore. |

Redirect to:
- With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
