The term secret society may be misleading, as in reality most do not hide their own existence. They’re something more like ‘closed-off’ societies, which might have public relations through the public institutions they run (food banks, fighting dojos, manufactories, libraries), and a well-known name, symbol and even motto and core values; though their inner workings, specific objectives and even leadership structure can be for internal eyes and ears only.
