Book Description
All across the continent of Europe, massive stone monuments erected by a prehistoric culture can be found. These megalithic stones, resisting centuries of weathering or assaults by modern men, are all that remain of a society that has been erased by time. Stonehenge is the most familiar of these megalithic monuments, but in fact represents only one of many similar sites. Who were the people who built these monuments? Why were these stones significant to them? Sacred Sites of the Knights Templar examines sacred megalithic sites across the globeùsuch as Stonehenge and Rennes-le-Chateau -- revealing the astronomical significance of these sites as well as the secrets that significance bore to the Knights Templar. This revolutionary book offers a new explanation for two main subjects: The distribution and meaning of the megalithic monuments of Europe, which were constructed to commemorate astronomical events Evidence for a continuing and hidden philosophy based on ancient astronomy maintained in secret by the Knights Templar and in turn by the Freemasons The author offers theories regarding these sitesùtheir meanings, their secrets, their lasting impression on the Western World, and their sacred symbolic influences on Freemasonry throughout history.

Sacred Sites of the Knights Templar
Author: John K. Young
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781437963342

Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The Knights Templar protected pilgrims visiting the Holy City of Jerusalem. However, the Templars soon accumulated wealth and power. They also discovered the astronomical secrets of ancient sacred sites and passed these secrets along only to their spiritual descendants, the Freemasons. Young reveals the astronomic themes embedded in Masonic ritual, and their origins in the ancient religions of Europe. The megalithic monuments of Europe reveal these secrets. Medieval structures erected at these same sacred sites attempted to incorporate the spiritual significance of these sites into Christianity. The Templar structures at these sites betray a hidden understanding of this ancient astronomy -- and that understanding is kept alive by the Freemasons. Illustrations.

The Knights Templar
Author: Rudolf Steiner
Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press
ISBN: 1855842815
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Founded in the early twelfth century, allegedly to protect pilgrims to the Holy Land, the Knights Templar became famous for their pioneer banking system, crusading zeal, and strict vows of obedience, chastity and poverty. Having grown to some 15,000 men, they came to be perceived as a threat by Philip the Fair, who in 1307 disbanded the group and tortured their leaders for confessions. The French king accused the order of heresy, sodomy and blasphemy. Recent works of fiction and popular histories have created a resurgence of interest in the mysterious Knights Templar. Numerous contradictory and fantastic claims are made about them, adding to the enigma that already surrounds the warrior monks of France. In this unique collection of lecture material and writings from Rudolf Steiner, a new perspective emerges. Based on his spiritual perceptions, Steiner speaks of the Templars' connection to the esoteric tradition of St John, their relationship with the Holy Grail, and their spiritual dedication to Christ. He describes the secret order that existed within the Templars, and the strange rituals they performed. He also throws light on the Templars' attitude to the Roman Church, and the spiritual forces that inspired their torture and confessions.
