The Templar Order of the Middle Ages was a originally a Gnostic based order that maintained secrecy of the occult. Although misinformation is being told in regards to the strict Christian stance of the Knights Templar, their esoteric identity is hardly ever revealed nor fully uncovered by mainstream historians and scholars. The Templars weren’t your average Christians who obeyed and remained loyal the Church. Their involvement actually goes much further than what has been said.
It seems that the Templars of the Middle Ages kept their practices underground to avoid execution and interference from the Church. Nonetheless, the Catholic Church did manage to massacre some of the Templars during these times, due to their Occult practice and Gnostic identity being discovered. Not to mention the spiritual knowledge that the Templars contained which the Church considered a threat.
Most Templars were aware of their coming death sentence so they planned their escape from Christian prediction. The arrest of Grandmaster Jacques De Molay and other Templar members had occurred while others made their departure and became Masons. Unlike the present day Freemasonry/Illuminati, the original Masonry was a Gentile movement where spiritual education and practices were actually significant. Some of charges were false accusation against the Templars though many were proven to be accurate. Evidence had been revealed regarding gnostic performances and idol worship. Immediately the Knights were accused of worshipping the Devil and submitting to Christian denial.
Few listed charges against Jacques and other Templar leaders:
Worship of the Severe Head
One of the Many charges of the Knights was the containment of the severe head which appeared to be a skull. Other heads were also found, on which some idols had three faces, others had one. Note that the three faces appear on certain pagan goddesses such as the Greek Goddess Hekate, who is also said to be the dark aspect of Sophia. The three faces apply to the three moon faces and the trinity. The severe head was also referred to as the Baphomet which is coded with “Wisdom”, associating with the (Christian) Goddess Sophia, meaning “Wisdom” in Greek. For more info, see “Regarding the Baphomet” below.
Obscene Kiss:
Another performance during ceremonies was the obscene kiss that the Church regarded as homosexual activity. However this action was entirely misunderstood. Excerpts from the following article explain the kundalini and yogic relation to the kiss: Evidently, “the “heretical” practice of kissing strategic places on the body employed by the Templars during their initiation rite was based on an ancient yogic and alchemical rite that had been observed in the east for ages.
Through kissing or touching the regions below the navel and at the base of the spine it was known by the yogis and gnostics that a teacher or guru could awaken the alchemical force of Kundalini at its bodily seat. The infamous kisses on the mouth ascribed to the Templar initiators were similarly designed to assist Kundalini activation. When an initiator placed his mouth over that of a prospective Templar he transmitted his Kundalini into the new brother via his own breath.” [2]
Relations with the Yezidi God:
It’s also said that the Templars were known to wear a black and red cord that was common amongst the Yezidis and tied with the Yezidi God (Melek Taus).“Upon being initiated into the Order of the Peacock Angel (Yezidis), “a holy thread, of intertwined black and red wool, is put around the neck. Like the sacred thread of the Parsis and other ancient Middle Eastern cults, this must never be removed; and it sounds like the cord that the Templars were accused of wearing when the Order was suppressed as heretic.” [3]
The Knights Templars studied various occult works of Ancient Egypt and the (Gentile) Kabbalah during their extended time in the Holy Land. Discoveries were made possibly related not only the holy grail, but evidence that were likely related to ancient material and information. These are either facts regarding the Ancient Hebrew Mysticism and the true purpose of ancient religions pre-dating Christianity. Regardless, Hidden knowledge of some sort was likely exposed which most obviously consisted of mysticism and the occult. The Templars returned to Europe with a vast amount of wealth and riches, which became a threat to King Phillip and the Church. Not surprising since any wealth that lies in the hands of Gentiles has always remained a threat to the elite. It’s assumed that the Templars became suddenly rich and rose in power was due their occult works and rituals.
On the Green Man:
“A major Templar foundation, the famed Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh, has a large number of Green Man (my note: Alias of Baphomet) carvings, which may further suggest that the Templars recognized the Green Man as an ancient source of their idiosyncratic beliefs.” [4]
“Commonly portrayed as a head with profuse foliage growing from his mouth, the Green Man (and Lady) represent fertility, growth, and the fecundity of nature. The many faces of the Green Man range from joyful to downright impish. Although many assume that the Green Man is mainly a “Celtic” motif, this is not the case. Green Man carvings are also found in ancient eastern temples, in the Apo Kayan area of Borneo, the chapels of Dhankar Gompa in the Himalayas, in the temples of Kathmandu and in the Jain temples of Ranakpur, and in Roman buildings. In short, the Green Man is a universal theme with very early roots.” [5]
“As the primal King of the World, the Green Man is known by many legendary faces and names world wide, including Murrugan, Dionysus, Osiris, Al-Khadir, Melchizedek, and Lucifer. He is the life force, so he can manifest at any time and in any form that is appropriate for that part of the world. Some of his manifestations have been benign, such as Melchizedek , and some, malevolent, like Lucifer, while others, like Dionysus, have been ascribed as personna that is a combination of both qualities.” [4]
More on the Notre Dame and Gothic Architecture:
Templar sites were found on the same site where the Druids constructed their temples. One example is the popular cathedral as mentioned above, Notre Dame de Cartres of the Knights that was built on a sacred pagan ground.
“So venerated is the location of Chartres that it is the only cathedral not to have a single king, bishop, cardinal, canon, or anyone interred in the soil of its mound. It was a pagan site, dedicated to the traditional Mother Goddess – a site to which pilgrims traveled long before the time of Jesus. The original altar was built above the Grotte des Druides, which housed a sacred dolmen, and was identified with the ‘Womb of the Earth.
Many of the architectural drawings for the finer points of the Gothic cathedrals (including the pattern for the famous labyrinth at Chartres) were obtained from a 2nd century Greek alchemical manuscript and were dedicated to the patron goddess of France, Notre Dame de Lumiere (“Our Lady of Light”). This pattern is “reckoned to be one of the most sacred designs on Earth.” ” [6]
Other than the Green man, Gothic style Cathedrals were built with esoteric imagery and other similar Pagan structures. Inside the Cathedral also contained astronomical symbolism of Gods and the fable of cosmic creations. The Gods were deemed as representations of the planets and stars; hence the heavenly bodies of the universe.
“Other symbols found in the Gothic Cathedrals convey strong subliminal messages about the power of Feminine. Carved spiders’ webs—an image repeated in the doomed skylight of the church Notre Dame de France in London—represent Arachne, the spider goddess who rules Man’s fate, or Isis, in her role as weaver of destiny. Similarly, the great maze or labyrinth drawn on the floor of Chartres Cathedral refers to the female mysteries, through which the initiate can find his way only by following the thread for him by the goddess. Clearly this place is not intended for the praise of the Virgin Mary, particularly because it was also home to a Black Madonna—Notre Dame de Souterrain (our lady of the underworld).” [7]
Regarding the Baphomet:
The Baphomet that was first brought up by the Templars further indicates the evidence that the Templar Knights were Gnostic Occultist. The idol was involved in many rituals and ceremonial practices that were done by the Order. It was used specifically for purpose of magic arts and to receive wisdom. While many may confuse the Templar Baphomet as a goat headed figure, there no evidence that was the case. Levi, a French Occultist, simply reconstructed a new form of Baphomet of a hybrid goat, consisting of male and female parts to fit with his occult ideals. While Levis depiction of the Baphomet contains spiritual and universal elements that reveals esoteric knowledge, the Knights Templars portrait of the Baphomet was entirely divergent. The idol of the Baphomet is said to have different portrayals from scholars, so we’ll never know exactly how the original figure is accurately described.
“Central to the accusations brought against the Knights Templar, was the accusation that, they worshipped an idol named Baphomet, which is said to have taken the form of a head or sometimes a Black Cat. The truth behind this mythos varies with various scholars.
The Baphomet is one aspect of the Templars mythos, could generate so many theories as to its true origins is amazing. The interest in the Baphomet has survived over 600 years and taken many forms. The opinions on the Baphomet vary greatly from scholar to scholar and mystic path to mystic path. The purpose of this section is to shed some light on some of the theories and the connection, if any, to the Knights Templar.
Mistakingly some describe the Templars as Devil worshipping Occultists, while historians of the twentieth century were of the belief that the Templars were party to the machinations of a corrupt government and church. It remains to be seen what the common consensus of this century will be regarding the order.
Twentieth century historians may have believed in innocence, the Baphomet mythos did survive as is indicated by the following dictionary definition: “Baphomet was the deity worshipped by the Knights Templar, and in Black Magic as the source and creator of evil; the Satanic goat of the witches’ Sabbath and one of the names adopted by Aleister Crowley.”
The image of the Baphomet is as varied as the explanations as to its etymology. A listing of some of the more common descriptions of it.
An idol with a human skull
Ahead with two faces
With a beard – Without a beard
With the heads of a cockerel
With the head of a man
With the head of a goat and the body of a man
Wings and cloven feet
The upper body of a woman (maternity)
A candle on its head – a symbol of revelation combining male sexual potency with the four elements and intelligence” [8]
