Unholy Worship?The Myth of the Baphomet, Templar, Freemason Connection
The Knights Templar were a monastic fighting order formed in 1120 AD to protect pilgrims on route to the Holy Lands. In less than two centuries they grew to become the most feared and respected of the crusading orders. Powerful enough to answer only to the Pope, rich enough to finance kings; the Templars soon became the object of one man's greed and jealousy. Envious of their power and wealth, King Philip IV sought to destroy the Templars. In order to do this, he would need to trump up charges of heresy, black magic and witchcraft. These accusations included the worshipping of a demonic idol called Baphomet. The Baphomet Mythos has survived for more than six centuries, and has been used as a symbol of Satanism, as well as a tool of Fundamentalist Christian groups to attack the Masonic Fraternity. This book looks at the myth of these connections and seeks to set the record straight. |
