| - The Order of Shamlicht (from the English dialect sham shame meaning "false", alteration of English shame, and the Scottish licht meaning "light") is an Renaissance-era secret society founded on October 3, 1537. It honors Cherub Princess Shamlicht, the cherub-goddess of false light. The order's original goals were to oppose conformity, superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over the lives of children and abuses of state power over the young. "The disorder of the day," they wrote in their general statutes, "is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice to children, to remove their control without dominating them." The Order—along with Illuminati, Freemasonry and other secret societies—were outlawed through Edict, by the Bavarian ruler, Charles Theodore, with the encouragement of the Unified Catholic Church, in 1784, 1785, 1787 and 1790. In the centuries following, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed that they continued underground and were responsible for the Children's Crusade, children's rights, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, DeMolay, Job's Daughters, and Pee-wee Herman.
