The Knights Templar were a monastic fighting order formed in 1118 CE 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 Templar Knights. 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 over 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.

In The Warriors and the Bankers, the research and writing team of Alan Butler and Stephen Dafoe bring their combined experiences to bear on the question asked for hundreds of years, What became of the Knights Templar? Arrested in 1307, dissolved in 1312 and executed by 1314, the Templars have been the subject of many theories concerning their possible survival. This book examines these theories against new evidence and information. Additionally the authors put forth, for the first time, a completely NEW theory that has caught the ears, eyes and attention of many readers. 
The ultimate conclusion is that the Templars did survive, virtually intact, and that, in a very direct sense, they may still be one of the most potent forces at work in the world at the start of the new Millennium. The Warriors and the Bankers is eminently readable and is intended for both the serious student of Templarism or simply the interested observer.

Personal Transformation

'The Knights Templar were probably the single most important influence in the ultimate development of the world we inhabit today.' So stated the authors Alan Butler and Stephen Dafoe in their much-acclaimed work 'The Warriors and the Bankers'. But where did they come from, these mysterious white mantled Knights of Christ, and were they simply a reflection of early twelfth century Christian thinking? This is a question that Butler and Dafoe set out to answer - the discoveries they made are going to cause a dramatic reassessment of the whole period relating to the First Crusade and far beyond. The true genesis of the Knights Templar belongs far back in time, long before Christianity even developed. Latterly the Templars were an offshoot of a little understood monastic brotherhood - the Cistercians, who themselves danced to the tune of an extremely powerful group of individuals inhabiting Burgundy and Flanders from the time of the Romans onwards. Butler and Dafoe offer a detailed account of the rise of a specific group identified as 'the Troyes Fraternity', that did not simply respond to the caprices of history - they created it! Behind the Knights Templar lay a belief pattern almost as old as humanity and a heritage that was already ancient before recorded history began. The story is both fascinating and compulsive. It will leave the reader in no doubt as to the true intentions of the Knights Templar, or of the shadowy but immensely influential organization that brought them into being. Prepare to be both surprised and shocked. The story within these pages has never been told before and its implications on our view of orthodox history are staggering.

The Templar Continuum

Freemasonry began with a simple purpose. To make Good Men better Men, and to practice the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. In its nearly 300 years of formal existence, the fraternity has welcomed men from every walk of life. Commoners and Kings have enjoyed its fellowship and philosophies. These ideals have, over the last three centuries, often been set to verse and it is these poems and inspirational messages that are the purpose of this book.  Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part, is a collection of Masonic poems written by Freemasons, many of whom are well known in literary circles, while others are Masons for whom, time has erased all memory of their names. Perhaps what is most important is that their messages live on. In this volume are brief biographies and the melodic words of:  Rudyard Kipling Robbie Burns Dr. Robert Morris Joseph Fort Newton Arthur Edward Waite Albert Pike And Others

Waite in his typical insightful prose style examines the legends of post Templar existence via such notable figures as Andrew Michael Ramsay and Baron Karl von Hund who were first to draw a connection between Crusader era orders and the Masonic Brotherhood.  Templar Books is pleased to bring this historical offering by the late Arthur Edward Waite to the Masonic Fraternity once again.
