For those of you who speak Spanish, come and join me in the upcoming online Spanish language edition of the Symposium for the Covenant of the Waters where I’ll be a speaker, 22 June 2024. More details to follow soon!

This captivating 2-part livestream masterclass unveils the world of crusader remedies; a blend of magic, healing energies and medicine with ingredients such as vixen fat, toad vials, psychotropic plants and essential oils, combined with the Knights Templar's unique spirituality.

Journey into the depths of the collective unconscious alongside the Knights Templar to explore the Way of the Rose & the sacred feminine in this fascinating livestream talk. Talk will be recorded for those who cannot attend live. (Tuesday 18 June, 7 pm UK).

During the Crusades, there were interactions between European Christian knights, including the Templars, and Armenian Christians in the Holy Land. Armenia had a significant Christian population and a history of military orders before the establishment of the Knights Templar. It was also situated in a region where many significant events of the Crusades took place, and not only were there interactions between Armenian Christians and the Templars during this time, but some Armenian knights joined the Templars.

Once a Knights Templar stronghold, Templemichael in County Waterford now echoes with spectral hauntings and long past historical battles. A visit with unexpected surprises that led me down a very significant rabbithole connected to Richard the Lion Heart in one of Ireland's most haunted church and cemeteries of Co. Waterford, bordering with Co. Cork.

The divine feminine was revered by the Cistercians and the Knights Templar whose patron is Mary Magdalene and who also showed a preference for venerating female saints like St Helena, one of their most important saints to whom they would dedicate many churches and chapels.

Highly recommended, book by Gretchen Cornwall, “The Secret Dossier of a Knight Templar of the Sangreal”, this was a delightful surprise.

“Pay attention to details. The most important things are often overlooked in the search for things greater than the obvious.”

However, this also ties in with phallic symbolism and there is such a thing as phallic architecture but also is a male symbol as a "lingam" or even the Egyptian Djed pillars.

Happy to share a trailer with a glimpse of my upcoming book on the untold history of the Knights Templar, "The Way of the Rose"; part of a trilogy with the "Way of the Stars" and the companion book to both.

I like to bring back women from history; some of you may be aware I also work with forgotten and esoteric aspects of history, including symbolism, writing systems, and to an extent, cyphers. Today I'd like to share a post on an incredible medieval woman and prolific writer I have been studying and researching; Benedictine abbess, philosopher, Christian mystic, and visionary Hildegard of Bingen.

Sharing this great article by a brother from Spain and my own notes on Women being part of the Knights Templar which contradicts what mainstream history tells us.

Following on from my last post on women within the Order of the Knights Templar, I wanted to come back to a post I did on Valentine's Day this year where I shared a Love poem believed to have been written about by a Knights Templar, found with a property charter, inside the French version of the Rule of the Knights Templar.

Ireland is more relevant to the Knights Templar than we have been led to believe, and also to Freemasonry. I’d like to share an excerpt from my book with glimpses of some of the messages hidden in plain view that I decoded:

Stars...mean everything to me. I find them in all areas of my life, they are a favourite symbol of mine and also connected to my origins. Stars, and specifically 8 and 5-pointed stars were also key to the Phoenicians, Mesopotamians, Etruscans, Knights Templar, the Virgin Mary and even witchcraft and freemasonry.

A woman ahead of her times, pioneer in many areas who “ran with the wolves”. Aunt of Godfrey of Bouillon (Defender of Jerusalem of the House of Lorraine), military strategist and founder of the world’s first military order in 1070 well ahead of the first crusade and possibly inspiring her nephew Godfrey; the Order of Saint James of Altopascio.

Interview with the team from Global Strangeness on my work in haunted history, Freemasonry, ancient energies and upcoming projects.

The title of this song, sung here by Ella Roberts translates to “go, my love” (or ‘walk my love’): while I do not speak Irish, I understand that "siúil" is an imperative, literally translating to “walk!”, a rún is a term of endearment. The hidden symbolism within this song, which is relevant to Romantic Love between Knights and fighting men, follows on from my previous Love Poem post on the Knights Templar. Furthermore, it is also relevant when it comes to understanding the origins of the Knights Templar.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Contrary to popular belief, many Templars WERE married and they did enjoy romantic love. This love poem, believed to have been written by a Knights Templar, was actually found inside a version of the Latin Rule of the Knights Templar.

In the shadows of myths and symbols lies the heartbeat of history. Explore the profound connection between them as we unravel the coded messages that define human experience in this livestream talk at the London College of Psychic Studies.

Molana Abbey, Co. Waterford. The last resting place of Raymonde Fitzgerald (Le Gros), the first Redmond of Ireland that came over with the Norman Invasion.

Raymond Le Gros ties in with my book on Loftus Hall, Ireland’s most haunted house on lands that were given to the Knights Templar in 1172, following the Norman invasion. Although there was never an official invasion by the Knights Templar, he would have come along with other families who were known already then to be Templar families such as De Lacy, which contradicts what has been written about Templar history in Ireland, as we are told that the first records of a Templar in Ireland are of “Matthew the Templar”, dating back to 1177. Together with other notable Templar families, as I’ll be sharing in upcoming lectures and books, the De Lacy family came to Ireland as early as 1168-69 and would hold many Templar properties in Ireland, including the Knights Templar Preceptory at Clontarf Castle where I’ll be shortly, built already in 1172.
