Doc Marquis is a former Illuminist Witch, he brings a unique expertise and viewpoint to this entire subject. We think you will find it highly instructive, and you will have even more reason to understand that Freemasonry is Illuminized Witchcraft at its very core. listed examples, below, of known Satanists and/or Occultists who were also Freemasons in good standing. Do not be deceived by any Masonic Propaganda that says these people were “rogue Masons”; on the contrary, they were Masons in good standing throughout their lives. In fact, what these occultists who were also Masons represent are the very few Illuminated Masons who had gone all the way to the “Light”, to discover what the final great secret of Masonry truly is, i.e., dedicated Satanists working to achieve the New World Order of Antichrist.
here are excerpts from the article the link can be found below
a) Arthur Edward Waite, occult writer and historian — In free12 and free13 , we quote Waite continuously, noting that his books are always published by a known and established Masonic publishing house.
b) Dr. Wynn Westcott — member of the Rosicrucian Society and founding member of the occult Order of the Golden Dawn . The Order of the Golden Dawn is one of the most Satanic of secret societies, and is highly active in the establishment of the coming New World Order of Antichrist. Don’t you find it extremely “illuminating” that its founder is also a Mason?
c) S. L. MacGregor Mathers — co-founder of the occult Order of the Golden Dawn — Thus, we see that both founders of this Satanic secret society were Freemasons.
d) Dr. Gerard Encausse — member of the Illuminati and leader of the occult group known as ‘Martinism’. According to Albert Mackey, a 33rd Degree Mason, “The degrees of Martinism abounded in the reveries (pleasures) of the Mystics.” [Albert Mackey, Encyclopedia of Masonry”, p. 552] The “pleasures” of the Mystics is a euphemism for sex. We have already noted that Freemasonry utilizes the symbolism of sex in their circle with a dot [free13 for full details]. In free07 , we also note the sexual symbolism inherent in their writings. Freemasons “worship the creature rather than the Creator” just as much as do any of the pagan groups in world history. Again, this fact is one of the reasons they insist upon absolute secrecy, rightly fearing public scrutiny.
e) Aleister Crowley — infamous Satanist who founded the occult religion of Thelema. So debased and foul was he, that his contemporaries referred to him as ‘Mr. 666’, and his mother referred to him as ‘The Beast’ of the Book of Revelation. 
While Crowley did not found the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.], he did control the organization for many years. The O.T.O. is an extremely Black Magick secret society, very Satanic.
f) Dr. Theodore Reuss — Head of the occult order known as the O.T.O. (Ordo Templi Orientis). He was such a prolific occult writer that he gave Aleister Crowley the reigns of authority of the O.T.O. in London. 
This is an official logo of the O.T.O., taken off the web. You are looking into the black abyss of Hell in this drawing. This apparently is the entrance into Hell, with the Masonic-type columns on each side and the typically Masonic/occultic winged symbol above. Two All-seeing Eyes oversee all who enter its gates. Freemasonry is “identical with the Mysteries”, says Albert Pike; therefore, this scene of the Gates of Hell IS Freemasonry.
g) George Pickingill — renowned master witch of 19th Century England and leader of the ‘Pinkingill coven’ .
h) Manly P. Hall — a Rosicrucian, Masonic author, and founder of the Philosophical Research Society . Hall was world renowned as a Freemason, and one of its most prolific writers. It was he who said that Fellow Craft Masons can expect to have the “seething energies of Lucifer in your hands” once he understands the deep secrets of the Craft. His books were published by prestigious Masonic Publishing companies. Since Hall was simultaneously a Rosicrucian and a Freemason, we wish to show you the Rosicrucian Cross , so you can see the terrible blasphemies of Freemasonry. 
Please closely observe how they have covered our precious Cross of Calvary with the deepest, most wicked, symbols of Satan! You can see four (4) upright pentagrams, representing Lucifer and covering each of the four points of the cross; then, you can see a hexagram just below the center, on the downward arm of the cross, probably designed to cast a “HEX” on our Savior’s cross! Folks, this is the true nature of Freemasonry. Masonry reveres Rosicrucianism so very highly, they have an order dedicated to it, called, “Knight of the Rosy Croix”, the 18th Degree! Once, more the true Satanic nature of Freemasonry becomes more clear.
i) Gerald B. Gardner — founder of the modern revival of Wicca, who had a style of witchcraft named after him known as the ‘Gardnerian Style of Witchcraft’.
j) Alex Sanders — known as the “King of all Witches” in London, he was one of the most influential witches after Gardner. He also had a style of witchcraft named after him called, “Alexanderian Witchcraft”.
k) Eliphas Levi — one of the most occult writers of the 19th Century . Doc really understates the case here. Levi was known as “the foremost occult authority of the 19th century”. [Nuit Unlimited Imports, a New Age importer of witchcraft memorabilia] Levi created the extremely obscene image of Baphomet to represent Satan. 
“Levi’s drawing of Baphomet shows his emphasis on sex, for he made Baphomet as an androgynous [both male-female] figure. Satan, like Baphomet, is often pictured as a hermaphroditic deity, having a male phallus and the breasts of a woman. The winged staff between Baphomet represents the phallus … In a book on witchcraft, The Complete Book of Witchcraft and Demonology, we find a picture of Baphomet. The caption states that he is the ‘horned god of the witches, sex incarnate’. This picture … shows Baphomet making the Devil’s triad with his right hand.” [Dr. Burns, Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated ]
Levi’s Guiding Spirit took him to levels of an understanding of witchcraft that few men in history have ever experienced. His illustrations are considered unequalled in the occult world, and he was not only contemporary with Albert Pike, he was very influential on Pike. [Arthur Edward Waite, Some Deeper Aspects of Masonic Symbolism, Kila, Montana, reprinted by Kessinger Freemasonry Publishing Co.] Arthur Waite said of Levi, “… undoubtedly one of the most distinguished of the Continental exponents of occult science which the 19th Century produced, and his writings attain an important position in the estimation of modern schools of higher magic.” [Waite, quoted in Levi’s book, The History of Magic, in Kessinger’s Catalog, attempting to influence you to buy Levi’s book]
Albert Pike (33rd Degree Mason, Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction) was, therefore, undoubtedly influenced by Levi in his views on Lucifer. We have already quoted Pike in Morals and Dogma (p. 567, 28th Degree) where he identifies Lucifer as the Light-bearer of Freemasonry, the “Light” to whom all Masons pledge to work toward. Listen to Levi talk about Lucifer. “XXXVIII: What is more absurd and more impious than to attribute the name of Lucifer to the devil, that is, to personified evil. The intellectual Lucifer is the spirit of intelligence and love; it is the paraclete [an advocate]; it is the Holy Spirit, where the physical Lucifer is the great angel of universal magnetism.” [Eliphas Levi, The Mysteries of Magic, A Digest of the Writings of Eliphas Levi]
