	Good catch! But I find an amazing number of symbols of the Illuminati; I suppose that if you see them everywhere, anything can symbolise them. --[[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens\|talk]]) 23:08, 27 March 2016 (UTC)		Good catch!

	It's one of those things where the subject field is so nebulous and hazy - proverbially nailing fog to a wall - that you can assert anything you like and there's a likelihood that you'll be "right", to a given value of "right". All very Fortean, really. And then you pass into the weird and wonderful world of Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, famed for writing the ultimate tongue-in-cheek conspiracy theory about the Illuminati. (Remember all the competing secret societies of {{GG}} and the general high calibre of Seekers After Truth that they attract? I'm sure TP read ''Illuminatus!'' and is homaging the book... I say "homage" as you can't really parody a parody.) Anyway, The Other Wiki is fairly sure the original Bavarian illuminati used the Minerva Owl - sitting atop a book as custodian of knowledge both profane and aracane - as a symbol. On Discworld it should be a penguin, though.
