Also interesting is the history of the Ismaili sect. Abdul ibn Maymun set up the sect as an occult society in the ninth century with nine ranks and at each promotion a deception was revealed until at the ninth level it was revealed that there was no god and all that mattered was power (Nietzsche / Crowley style) - i.e. just the same as every other occult society. Within a few decades he had taken over half the Moslem world and murdered millions.

His line remains intact and the current scion and head of the Ismaili sect is the Aga Khan whose followers call him "the Lightbringer" which would be amusing if it wasn't so serious.
