The Illuminati House of Ra
“Show Up and Show Out”
The Illuminati House of Ra was merely a vision; turned reality in the latter part of 2016. Master/Sir Eli’s vision was to focus it’s core values based on community, kink/fetish/BDSM, and education. The structure of the House is simply designed to empower and mentor each member based on their starting skill-set to high level proficiency. Every function from Head of House to pup/boy/slave has an important role in the House. “Show Up and Show Out” is woven into the mission for public view to streamline the purpose of demos and public display. Subscribe to their archived podcasts on YouTube and keep an eye on the Cultured Kink events section for dates and times of live streams of the podcasts.
