Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a volume about the life and power of ritual objects in their religious ritual settings. In this Special Issue, we see a wide range of contributions on material culture and ritual practices across religions. By focusing on the dynamic interrelations between objects, ritual, and belief, it explores how religion happens through symbolic materiality. The ritual objects presented in this volume include: masks worn in the Dogon dance; antique ecclesiastical silver objects carried around in festive processions and shown in shrines in the southern Andes; funerary photographs and films functioning as mnemonic objects for grieving children; a dented rock surface perceived to be the god’s footprint in the archaic place of pilgrimage, Gaya (India); a recovered manual of rituals (from Xiapu county) for Mani, the founder of Manichaeism, juxtaposed to a Manichaean painting from southern China; sacred stories and related sacred stones in the Alor–Pantar archipelago, Indonesia; lotus symbolism, indicating immortalizing plants in the mythic traditions of Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia; lavishly illustrated variations of portrayals of Ravana, a Sinhalese god-king-demon; figurines made of cow dung sculptured by rural women in Rajasthan (India); and mythical artifacts called ‘Apples of Eden’ in a well-known interactive game series.

Book excerpt: FROM THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON TO THAT OF THE FREEMASONS: Three thousand years ago, in Jerusalem, a brutal murder took place. Nevertheless, the chain of events it set in motion is still felt to this day. On the distant end of that spectrum is Hiram. He was the Phoenician builder of Solomon's Temple, and whose death is central to the Masonic Third Degree. But who killed him, and why? And what was truly lost after his murder? On the other end is George: A young Mason in present-day Cyprus, struggling to unravel the origins of the institution he just joined. Was modern Freemasonry really created by English medieval stonemasons? And what do all its secret handshakes and passwords still protect? In the centuries separating them, were the Knights Templar. History tells us they got disbanded after their arrests in 1307. But were they? Or did some Templars survive and kept on secretly protecting an ancient holy relic their Order had discovered two hundred years earlier?

Download or read book The Rule of the Templars written by Templars and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents for the first time an English translation of henri de Curzon's 1886 edition of the French Rule, derived from the three extant medieval manuscripts. Both monastic rule and military manual, the Rule is a unique document and an important historical source. The Rule is divided into seven main sections: the Primitive Rule, Hierarchical Statutes, Penances, Conventual life, the Holding of Ordinary Chapters, Further Details on Penances, and Reception into the Order. There are details of the clothing, amour and equipment to which each brother was entitled; instructions to the brothers as to their conduct while on campaign, and information on the daily life of the members of this most influential military order, and on the monastic discipline which made it a formidable fighting force. The Rule evolved over almost one hundred and fifty years of the Order's history, and is thus a dynamic piece of work showing how the Templars adapted to political change and formulated their disciplinary code. An Introduction gives the historical background to the Rule and summarises the various sections. -- from back cover.
Download or read book Templars in Bologna A Multidisciplinary Approach written by Giampiero Bagni and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to use a multidisciplinary approach to study the Knights' Templars of Bologna, Italy. Archaeological, scientific, historical and archival sources are combined to consider the Templars in the context of Bologna’s growing economic and political power during this period. A complete picture of urban and suburban Templar properties in Bologna is provided, detailing lucrative activities such as Templar land use, agricultural innovations and wine production. Because the Crusades were influential in this era and directly impacted the urbanization of the city, the Bolognese Templars are also studied in relation to the five other military orders in Bologna, including the understudied Crucifers and Knights of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Many formerly unexplored historical and archival sources are integrated with scientific data from this project’s archaeological excavations and architectural surveys of the Templar House in Bologna, allowing for its precise dating and the development of an architecturally accurate 3D film reconstruction of this property. Particular attention is also given to the Order's rise and fall under the ecclesiastical governance of the archbishops of Ravenna, as well as the Templar trial conducted by Archbishop Rinaldo da Concorezzo. In addition, the biography of the famous Templar brother Peter of Bologna is explored, due to his considerable impact on the events of the Templar trial of 1310. While many Freemasons believe Peter of Bologna escaped from the Paris trial and went to Scotland in 1313, bringing information crucial to that organization’s founding, the research included here suggests that Peter returned to Bologna instead, serving as a Hospitaller until his death in the city in 1329. This book therefore suggests alternative conclusions regarding Peter of Bologna’s death and legacy, based on the latest available interdisciplinary research.
Download or read book The Templars written by Piers Paul Read and published by Orion Publishing Group. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sifting myth from history, Piers Paul Read reveals the Templars ¿ the multinational force of warrior monks, in their white tunics with red crosses over chainmail. They were not only unique among Christian institutions but constituted the first uniformed standing army in the western world and became pioneers of international banking. Expropriated by Philip IV of France in 1307, and confessing under torture to blasphemy, heresy and sodomy, the Order was finally suppressed by Pope Clement V in 1312. In a narrative that incorporates the story of the crusades and the many colourful characters who had links with the Templars, Piers Paul Read examines the question of their guilt and identifies their relevance to our own times. 'A highly readable and nicely paced book that draws on the lessons of modern historical scholarship while also communicating a sense of narrative excitement and drive' 'Evocative, measured and engaging' Evening Standard 'Magnificent in every way' Mail on Sunday
Download or read book The Knights Templars The Key of Solomon The King written by A. Bothwell-Gosse and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knights Templars and The Key of Solomon the King are two separate texts, containing secrets of speculative matters, which have fueled many modern conspiracies with tendrils reaching from the Vatican to the Founding Fathers. THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARS Rising from an original band of nine pious warriors to an army of Christian knights 15,000 strong, these holy warriors wielded power both on the battlefields of Palestine and in the courts of Europe throughout the Middle Ages, and beyond until political forces forced them underground into a secret society whose reach has extended across oceans and whose influence continues, though in secret, throughout the modern era. THE KEY OF SOLOMON THE KING The most famous grimoire of Western civilization as translated and edited by MacGregor Mathers, founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. "The Key" is the seminal text of the studies of Solomon the King whose angelic and divine tutor imparted unto him not just the wisdom of the ages of man on earth, but other matters of arcana of an otherworldly nature. Together these texts provide insight into many of today's most widely speculated upon conspiracies and literary puzzle thrillers as well.

Download or read book Ring of Destiny written by Ronald J. Raymond and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ring of Destiny invites its readers to open their minds to go beyond stereo-typical thinking and to explore the possibilities that time does not exist, that there is a physiological reason for memories from previous generations, and that visits from extraterrestrials may account for much of what is assumed under traditional religious beliefs. Ring of Destiny portrays the life of a psychologist who has dared to think "out of the box," and who has come upon theories that suggest a "new world is in the making." Unscrupulous CIA agents realize the political significance of the psychologist's theories and the ancient artifact he and his partner in this adventure, Monica Strove, have discovered. The mystery and intrigue that unfold will take the reader on an exciting journey. The story weaves in and out of time periods, holding the reader's interest throughout. The book also communicates historical facts about Napoleon and the political and social conditions in France, during the Napoleonic period. Ring of Destiny will provide the reader with the intrigue of a mystery novel, insights into psychological thinking, Carl Jung's theory of the collective unconscious, the internal struggles of a psychologist immersed in the pain of his patients, the debate of reincarnation versus the collective unconscious, and knowledge about the Napoleonic period. The build-up of intrigue continuously leaves the reader wanting to know, "what comes next," turning it into a genuine page turner.
