Helena B. Scott is a writer, historian, linguist, and Jungian analyst, who works in historical revisionism and specialises in history, symbolism and philosophy (with a focus on Gnosticism), memory, mythopoetics, archetypal/depth psychology and cultural heritage.  She is also a mental and light trance medium, psychic investigator, and wellness/spirituality coach who works with the mystery traditions and energy healing. Her work played a pivotal role in a UNESCO campaign for the protection of cultural heritage as early as 2009, and she was recently awarded a Master of Arts (MA) with Grade II Honours in Public History & Cultural Heritage by the University of Limerick (2025), following her MA internship with Waterford Medieval Museum. In October 2025, Helena launched Ireland’s first-ever Templar public history festival, Waterford Templar Historical Day, in collaboration with Knight Commander Brendan M. Rohan of OSMTH Ireland, part of the global OSMTH — the world’s leading international modern Templar Order and humanitarian NGO inspired by the historic Knights Templar, and the only modern Templar order with consultative status at the United Nations.

Conceived as part of her MA dissertation in Public History framed under the UNESCO Historic Urban Landscape Recommendation of 2011 (HUL), Waterford Templar Historical Day — held in Waterford, where Henry II first claimed Ireland following the Anglo-Norman invasion — it was envisioned as an annual act of remembrance for the arrest and persecution of the Knights Templar on Friday, October 13, 1307, and as a means to reawaken Ireland’s forgotten Templar legacy through ceremony, historical re-enactment, and public participation.  The inaugural festival began at the Kilbarry Templar Cemetery, one of Ireland’s principal Templar preceptories, which was part of Helena’s MA research and public history work. Featuring the Kilbarry Knights Templar Graveyard Project in her MA dissertation, she curated a list of plants historically grown by the Knights Templar in their preceptories and manorial estates to guide the volunteers of this project in creating a more authentic medieval garden during the site’s restoration. Through this work, Helena not only reimagined the site as a living heritage space and outdoor participatory museum, but also expanded its recorded history, identifying previously unrecorded archaeology and offering fresh insight into the site’s layered history and not just its Templar past — contributions that helped inspire OSMTH’s formal recognition of the volunteers’ restoration of the gardens which Helena brought to the order’s attention. For her dedication, research, and reconstruction of the history of the Kilbarry Templar Preceptory (available soon in upcoming website pages), including the identification of previously unrecorded archaeology and her work in advancing the understanding of Templar historiography in Ireland and beyond, Helena was honoured with a Certificate of Recognition by OSMTH Ireland, on behalf of its international umbrella order OSMTH, acknowledging her efforts in deepening both public and scholarly insight into the Templars’ history.

Helena knows how to listen to the land of magical mindscapes, attuning herself to its hidden and layered histories, as exemplified at Kilbarry; she works with memory and cultural heritage in secret history (historical revisionism), specialising in Norse and Medieval history (more specifically, the Knights Templar), but also aspects of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia & Sumer. Through occult knowledge of the mysteries (Western Esoteric Tradition) and the lenses of ancient energies & sacred geography, archaeology, anthropology, religion, philosophy, esoteric architecture and symbolism (inc. marks & medieval graffiti), mythopoetics & archetypal psychology, mediumship, magic and the supernatural, and BOTH traditional historical and psychical research, Helena solves mysteries, carrying out investigations, to uncover events purposely omitted, buried by the veil of time and history, giving a voice to the voiceless victims of history.

Over two decades, her collaborations have encompassed police investigations, crime research, and psychical studies of haunted historic sites alongside parapsychologists, academics, and paranormal investigators. Her latest book, Loftus - The Hall of Dreams, a captivating psychical research study and historical revisionist account was written as a Gothic story and joint collaboration with New Scotland Yard Crime Academy's former head of forensic photography.  This unique book (Amazon bestseller and No. 1 in Freemasonry & Occultism) explores Ireland’s most haunted house and its connections to the Knights Templar, weaving together ley lines, geomancy, and freemasonry. Now based in Ireland, Helena also provides podcasts and online/in-person talks & workshops, speaking at Ireland’s first Paranormal Convention in Feb 2023 (Day of Unexplained) and offers a unique mentorship experience and live events on her Patreon. In 2024, in June she lectured on mermaids and protecting the oceans at the Spanish symposium of the Covenant of the Waters  and will be speaking on these topics as well as the grail quest at the 2024 Ancestral Pathways Conference in addition to lecturing at the London College of Psychic Studies and at various locations throughout Europe. Helena also offers healing and private consultations worldwide (inc. specialised historical research & family history) in her fields of expertise, including Jungian and Depth psychology, Ocean therapy, spirituality and wellbeing, psychospiritual counselling, and sacred sexuality, with a deep focus on women's mysteries and the sacred feminine. She weaves ancient wisdom into the present, reviving aspects of history that enrich and empower our modern lives. Read more about Helena here.
