Neo-Templarism
Neo-Templarism is a term describing groups or people who claim to have revived, to be inspired by, or to be descendants of the Knights Templar. Following the dissolution of the Templars by Pope Clement V at the start of the 14th century, several organizations have claimed to be secret continuations of the original Templars. This idea has been criticized by scholars of Templar history and is widely regarded as dubious. These orders are very diverse, but typically draw from western esotericism, with other groups incorporating New Age beliefs, or Freemasonry. Many neo-Templar groups are highly secret and necessitate initiation. Other groups are only ceremonial, and attempt to replicate what they view as the chivalric ideals of the original Order without any esoteric elements. The notion of the Templars secretly surviving embedded within masonic movements, resulting in the creation of several Templar grades in Freemason organizations. The origins of most neo-Templar groups can be t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
