TITLE:SECRET HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY
Subtitle:Its Origins and Connection to the Knights Templar


Author:Paul Naudon,

Using medieval archives housed throughout Europe, historian Paul Naudon reveals that there was in fact a very intimate connection between the Masons and the Knights Templar. Church records of medieval Paris show that most, if not all of, the Masons of that time were residents of the Templar censive, which allowed them to enjoy great exemptions and liberties from both church and state as a result of the protection afforded them by this powerful order. Naudon shows that the origins of Freemasonry can be traced back to the collegia of ancient Rome. He traces the evolution of organizations such as the Comacine Masters, the Arab turuqs, and the brotherhoods of builders created under the aegis of the Benedictines and the Knights Templar; all of these groups provided a vehicle for the transmission of a sacred tradition from pre-Christian times to the modern era. This tradition is the source of Masonic ritual and symbolism, and it provides the missing link in the transformation of the operative Masonry of the medieval cathedral builders to the spiritual principles of modern speculative Masonry.

TITLE:FREEMASONS
Subtitle:Inside The World's Oldest Secret Society


Author:H. Paul Jeffers,

Freemasons have been accused of everything from conducting clandestine satanic rituals to masterminding a worldwide conspiracy for planetary domination. The order's members--which have included Sir Isaac Newton, John Wayne, Bill Gates, some of America's most popular entertainers, and 25 U.S. presidents--insist they merely share a bond of brotherhood, service, and charity. It's the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world and even figures prominently in such modern bestsellers as The Da Vinci Code, yet Freemasonry is still terribly and consistently misunderstood. In Freemasons, H. Paul Jeffers delves into Masonic history to reveal the surprising and controversial truths behind this ancient and secretive order, from its mystery-shrouded origins in medieval Europe through its rise in America, where Benjamin Franklin founded the first lodge. Today, some four to five million Freemasons worldwide pledge to live their lives in accordance with principles of morality, charity, and loyalty -- both to fellow Masons and to the order itself. But what exactly does Freemasonry entail, and what happens behind the lodgesí closed doors? Discover the truth about: * Masonic Symbols--architectural symbolism, rings, pins, and other subtle indicators of membership * Rites and rituals--"Rite of Investiture" initiation ceremonies, the Apron Lecture, the Rite of Destitution and others * Hierarchy and organizational structureóincluding rules for advancement * Freemasonry's ancient and ongoing conflict with major religious institutions worldwide * Women and Freemasonry--including such groups as Eastern Star, Job's Daughters, and Amaranth * "Anti-Masons"--opposition groups, from the Catholic Church to conspiracy theorists * African-American Masonry--the "Prince Hall" Masonry alumni, which included Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, author Alex Haley, and musician Nat "King" Cole * Myths and conspiracies--Why is a Masonic symbol on American currency? Do Masons really control the world?

TITLE:SACRED SITES OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
Subtitle:The Ancient Secrets Hidden in Stonehenge, Rennes-le-Chateau & Santiago de Compostela


Author:John K. Young, Ph.D.,

All across the continent of Europe, massive stone monuments erected by a prehistoric culture can be found. These megalithic stones, resisting centuries of weathering and 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 globe--such as Stonehenge and Rennes-le-Chateau--revealing the astronomical significance of these sites as well as the secrets that bore significance 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; and 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 sites--their meanings, their secrets, their lasting impression on the Western World, and their sacred symbolic influences on Freemasonry throughout history.

TITLE:FREEMASONRY AND THE BIRTH OF MODERN SCIENCE
Subtitle:


Author:Robert Lomas,

In 1660, within a few months of the restoration of Charles II, a group of 12 men including Robert Boyle and Christopher Wren, met in London to set up a society to study the mechanisms of nature. At a time when superstition and magic governed reason, the repressive dogma of Christian belief silenced many, and where post-war loyalties ruined careers, these men forbade the discussion of religion and politics at their meetings. The Royal Society was born and with it modern, experimental science. This situation seems unlikely enough, but the fact that the founding members came from both sides of a brutal civil war makes its origins all the more astonishing. Freemasonry and the Birth of Modern Science is a fascinating study of the turbulent political, economic, and religious background to the formation of the Royal Society -- an era of war against the Dutch, the Great Plague, and the Great Fire of London. In particular, it fulfilled the ambitions of one man, Sir Robert Moray, the key driving force behind the society. Building on his detailed experience of another organization and the principles on which it was based, Moray was able to structure and gain financing for the Royal Society. This other organization, the "Invisible College" as Boyle called it, is know today as Freemasonry. Freemasonry and the Birth of Modern Science will make you reassess many of the key events of this period and will show how Freemasonry, supported by Charles II, was the guiding force behind the birth of modern science, under the cover of the Royal Society.

TITLE:ORACLE OF THE ILLUMINATI
Subtitle:Coincidence, Cocreation, Contact


Author:by William Henry,

Investigative mythologist William Henry follows up his best-selling CLOAK OF THE ILLUMINATI with this fascinating treatise on the secret codes, oracles and technology of the ancient Illuminati. Henrys primary mission is finding and interpreting ancient ''gateway stories'' which feature the use of advanced technology for raising spiritual vibration and increasing our bodyís innate healing ability. In this book, he shows how the human body shares the design of the complete Ark of the Covenant, and tells what the Gnostics knew about the Divine Particle within. He also unravels vital new and important discoveries about the creation of crop circles and the language of light, and reveals what secrets Jesus, Leonardo and Salvador Dali shared. The mysterious and powerful knowledge possessed by the ancient Oracles is being duplicated by modern science, and Henry shows how Mayan, Egyptian, and Sumerian serpent symbolism match, and hold the secrets of wormholes. He also discloses how nanotechnology will help build the New Atlantis!

TITLE:MYSTERY TRADITIONS
Subtitle:Secret Symbols and Sacred Art


Author:James Wasserman,

A beautifully illustrated lexicon of the major symbology of the great esoteric traditions * Includes a new chapter on secret societies and their role in safeguarding and transmitting of esoteric knowledge * Includes a full-color reproduction of the medieval alchemical masterpiece Splendor Solis Symbol in the esoteric sense is not to be confused with allegory; symbolic images are the alphabet of the "theory of correspondences" that underlies all the Mystery traditions of the West. This theory recognizes the interdependent relationship of all things and provides, for example, the basis of the belief that the position of the stars in the heavens will influence our thought, emotion, and perception. It also explains how the alchemistís work with base metals will result in a transformation of his own consciousness. In THE MYSTERY TRADITIONS James Wasserman offers a full-color lexicon of occult imagery drawn from the Kabbalah and tarot as well as the traditions of magic, alchemy, and astrology, accompanied by commentary on each imageís significance and the wisdom teachings from which it derives. In this new edition he also looks at the pivotal role played by secret societies in safeguarding and transmitting these teachings and presents rarely seen artifacts of these societies. Among the splendid offerings in this collection are all 22 paintings of the medieval alchemical masterpiece SPLENDOR SOLIS in full color and works by significant artists and esoteric thinkers such as Leonardo da Vinci, Robert Fludd, Austin Osman Spare, Harry Smith, Manly P. Hall, and Raymond Lull. This book provides an excellent introduction to the timeless and hidden dimensions of occult practice. An extensive bibliography of classical occult works also complements this unique collection. Heavily illustrated.

TITLE: WANDERINGS OF THE GRAIL
Subtitle:The Cathars, the Search for the Grail and the Discovery of Egyptian Relics in the French Pyrenees


Author:Andre Douzet,

In the 13th century, the Church came down hard on the Cathars, who had settled in the French Pyrenees. The Cathars' practices had some similarities with ancient Egyptian belief systems: 'dying consciously' was at heart of both, and both the Egyptians and the Cathars felt they had to break the cycle of reincarnation (the cycle of evil), and ascend to the world of light. In the 20th century, German Nazis such as Otto Rahn became interested in Catharism and sent investigators to the region to search for the Holy Grail. They uncovered the ancient sanctuaries of the Cathars -- often caves in perilous locations -- and found statues of Egyptian gods. Was the Grail perhaps a sacred Egyptian artifact?

TITLE:THE SECRET VAULT
Subtitle:The Secret Societies' Manipulation of Sauniere and the Secret Sanctuary of Notre-Dame-de-Marceille


Author:Andre Douzet,
Philip Coppens

Was Berenger Sauniere, the priest at the center of the enigma of Rennes-le-Chateau, controlled by a secret society? Yes is the answer, but which one? The group was known as the A.A., said to be the successor of the Compagnie de St. Sacrement, a 17th century secret society that was banned by King Louis XIV. Both were said to protect "the secret," of such gigantic proportions that its nature has never been revealed. The authors have uncovered a hidden dimension of the basilica of Notre Dame de Marceille. On the surface, the church is like any other, but it has a hidden dimension, which has been successfully kept underneath the church lies a secret underground complex, hidden for more than 500 years in which not only a monetary treasure was located, but which was also a pagan religious site which was once placed under the control of the Templars.

TITLE:KEY TO SOLOMONS KEY
Subtitle:Secrets of Magic and Masonry


Author:Lon Milo DuQuette,

King Solomon is the central figure of both the secret rituals of Freemasonry and the forbidden rites of sorcery. The sacred traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam come together in the person of the wise magician-king of ancient Israel, and his presence in Biblical history is a key element in how these three disparate religions view themselves and each other. Sketching out a fascinating network of historic figures, cults, and Christendom, this book by an occult studies expert and respected authority on magic and sorcery takes western spiritual traditions seriouslyóbut examines them with common sense and self-effacing humor. Working backward from the Freemasons to one of their original orders, the 14th-century Knights Templar, the account considers sorcery, heresy, and intrigues; explores the legend that the Knights possessed a powerful secret dangerous to the Church of Rome. The popularity of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code has ignited an explosion of public interest in Freemasonry and the role this ancient and secretive fraternity has played in the untold history of Western civilization. What (if any) is Masonry's connection to the intrigues of the Knights Templaróthe crusading order of military monks condemned for heresy and sorcery in the 14th century? Did the Templars, as so many modern commentators are suggesting, really possess a secret so astonishing that it threatened the very existence of the Church of Rome, and the monarchies of Europe whose power rested upon the "Divine Right of Kings?" "The purpose of Masonry's veneration of Solomon is not to advance an alternate view of history, but to present, however subtly, the archetype of the future human beingómen and women who truly possess Solomon's Keyóthe power to master our own demons and redirect their destructive energy to build the Temple of our own evolving soul."

TITLE:TEMPLAR PAPERS, THE
Subtitle:Ancient Mysteries, Secret Societies, and the Holy Grail


Author:edited by Oddvar Olsen ,

Much has been written about the group of 14th-century warrior monks known as the Knights Templar. Some authors, such as Dan Brown in THE DA VINCI CODE, portray them as folk heroes wrongly accused. Others disagree, saying the Templar story is ultimately one of greed, deception, and idolatry. Just who were the Knights Templar? And what is their legacy? In THE TEMPLAR PAPERS, author and historian Oddvar Olsen has assembled a veritable Who's Who of experts to unravel the mystery. Instead of rehashing previous scholarship, this book delves into new aspects of Templar lore, such as the origins of the order and its supposed survival after 1314. It attempts to answer the following: Were the Templars devil worshippers who venerated a mysterious head?; Was the head that of John the Baptist?; What exactly did they find in Solomonís Temple?; Did they keep, and later hide, the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant? Youíll also discover the Templar link to Mary Magdalene and the Freemasons, including answers to questions such as: Were Jesus and Mary lovers or, in fact, husband and wife?; Did Mary give birth to a child after Jesus' death?; Did Freemasonry originate from the Templars?; more.

TITLE:KNIGHTS TEMPLAR IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF SPAIN
Subtitle:Their Hidden History on the Iberian Peninsula


Author:Juan Garcia Atienza,

A thorough examination of the history of the Templars in Spain and Portugal -- Explores the mysteries surrounding the location of Templar enclaves -- Examines the Templar connections to the Cathars and to the troubadour culture -- Looks at the Order's influence in the kingdoms of Aragon and Catalonia and the Spanish monarchy itself. The rise and fall of the Templar Order constitutes a fundamental and decisive episode in medieval history, and the destruction of the Order constitutes a pivotal point that fundamentally altered the direction of society. While much is known about the history of the Templar Order in France, home of its chief commandery in Paris, and in the Latin States of the Middle East, their contribution to events on the Iberian peninsula has until now remained obscure and unexplored. Renowned Templar scholar Juan Garcia Atienza reveals here the important role the Templars played in the Reconquista that saw the Moors driven out of Spain and demonstrates the great influence they exerted in the kingdoms of Castille and Navarre and the territories of Catalonia and Aragon. He examines the mysterious connections between the Templars and the Cathars and troubadours as well as the mystery surrounding the location of all the Templar enclaves in the Iberian peninsula. He also unveils the important role the Templars had as teachers of the Spanish king James I, known as the Conqueror, whose attempt to establish a universal theocratic empire may have been a reflection of Templar ambitions, and explores the Orderís suppression in Spain and how it survived in Portugal by simply changing its name.

TITLE:JESUS, KING ARTHUR, AND THE JOURNEY OF THE GRAIL
Subtitle:The Secret of the Sun Kings


Author:Maurice Cotterell ,Reveals how the super-science of the sun and the higher orders of spirituality are concealed and contained in the Holy Grail. -- Connects the discovery of 4,000-year-old Celtic mummies in China with the transmission of this ancient knowledge. -- Documents the truth of the Holy Grailís connection with King Arthur and Joseph of Arimathea. -- Confirms the pedigree of the Grail using secret information from the Mayan Pyramid of Inscriptions in Mexico and the Gateway of the Sun in Peru. Cotterell follows the migration of the Celts 4,000 years ago from Asia, across Europe, to Ireland. The author explains the true story of the Grail: how it contains the secret super-science of the sun and the higher orders of spirituality; how it was carried to England by Joseph of Arimathea; how in AD 453 it was found by King Arthur, who engraved it with the same esoteric information found on the Pyramid of Inscriptions in Palenque, Mexico, and the Gateway of the Sun at Tiahuanaco in ancient Peru. The author goes on to show how the holy cup was passed for safekeeping to the monks of Lindisfarne, who copied the secrets of the Grail into the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Book of Kells. Fleeing from Viking raids, the monks carried their treasures to Ireland, which explains how the cup found its way to the Dublin Museum where it rests today.

TITLE:FOUNDING FATHERS, SECRET SOCIETIES
Subtitle:Freemasons, Illuminati, Rosicrucians, and the Decoding of the Great Seal

Author:Robert Hiernonimus, Ph.D. ,
Laura Cortner
All children growing up in America learn who the Founding Fathers were. Most, however, never learn of the founders' connections to the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, and other esoteric orders. In FOUNDING FATHERS, SECRET SOCIETIES Robert Hieronimus investigates these important connections and how their influence can be traced throughout our most significant national documents and symbols, especially the Great Seal. He reveals in detail how the reverse of the Great Seal--which appears on the back of the one-dollar bill--is a blueprint that conveys the secret destiny of America. By understanding the kabbalistic meaning of the Great Seal's reverse, he shows how our current era presents unique opportunities for the fulfillment of our Founding Fathers' spiritual vision.
