Templar rituals. Ancient secrets of wealth and power

through arranged burial. The ceremony was invented in the thirteenth century.
In its original form, it was not the historical parody that it later developed into. Reports of the execution of L'Air Epais eventually strengthened the position of King Philip IV of France in his campaign to destroy the wealthy order, which had been banned in 1331.
The Templars were introduced to the dualistic concept of the Yezidis in the Middle East. When they visited the Court of the Serpent and the Sanctuary of the Pheasant, where indulgence was synonymous with supreme power, they discovered hitherto unknown glorification of pride and praise of life. As a result, they created what was destined to become one of the most important rituals of Satanism. Martyrdom, once considered desirable, was now viewed with disgust and derision, and fierce pride became the last personification of the Templars for the world. The philosophy of Sheikh Adi and the Yezidis, coupled with the accumulated wealth and manpower of the Templars, could well lead the West away from Christianity, had the Knights not been stopped. Even after the prohibition of the Templars, their set of proud, life-loving principles, welded together with Western whole-oriented materialism, did not sink into oblivion, as the history of any post-Templar brotherhood proves.
As the Templars grew in strength and power, they became more materialistic and less spiritually concerned. Therefore, rites such as Stuffy Air were statements timely and acceptable to those who were turning away from their early heritage of self-sacrifice, abstinence, and begging.
The bond of brotherhood represented by the holding of L'Air Epais would have to correspond to the thirty-fourth degree of Freemasonry, if such a degree existed. The modern Scottish Rite ends with the Thirty-second Degree (Master of the Royal Secret), to which an additional degree may be awarded for special merit. A corresponding status is achieved in the rituals of York Freemasonry at the tenth degree, which bears the title of Knight Templar.
Initially, the Templar initiation into the Fifth Degree symbolized the candidate's passage of the Devil's Pass in the mountains separating the East from the West (the possession of the Yezidis). At the crossroads, the candidate had to make an important choice: either to keep his current addictions, or to step on the Left Path towards Shamballa, where he would find a home in the domain of Satan, rejecting the shortcomings and hypocrisy of the everyday world. A strikingly similar American parallel to this ritual was enacted in the mosques of the Ancient Arab Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, an order for Freemasons of the thirty-second degree. The nobility gracefully evaded any accusations of heresy, calling the place beyond Devil's Pass nothing less than the domain where they "worshipped in the sanctuary of Islam."
L'Air Epais cannot be carried out without rampant blasphemy of Christian ethics, which is why it was excluded from the Masonic rituals, thus stopping further advancement beyond the Thirty-third degree in the Scottish Rites and the Tenth degree in the York Rites. The Order of the Rosy Cross of people close to Aleister Crowley makes an interesting comparison in its initiation into the Seventh Degree (Adeptus Exemplis). In this ritual, the alternative to the Left Path was the decision to become a Child of the Abyss, which is not as controversial and dubious as it may seem, given their often Machiavellian modus operandi. Crowley, far from being a stupid man, set up a magical labyrinth so that his students, whose consciousness allows them to follow the Right Path, could never find themselves on the Left. Fortunately, very few, and only the most deserving, have reached the Adeptus Exemplis stage, thus successfully preventing the problems that could arise from such gross spiritual shocks.
The openly anti-Christian viewpoint presented in the Dead Air Ceremony has allowed Templar scammers to classify it as a "Black Mass".
After initiation into the Sixth Degree, the candidate rejected any life-denying spirituality and recognized the material world as a prerequisite to higher levels of existence. This is the affirmation of rebirth, the opposition of the joys of life to the nonexistence of death. The initiate in the original version of L'Air Epais was presented as a saint, martyr, or other example of facelessness. This was done to emphasize the transition from self-denial to self-indulgence in everything.
The rebirth ceremony takes place in a large coffin. The coffin contains a naked woman whose task is to arouse lust in the "dead man" who is placed beside her. L'Air Epais can serve two purposes - the denial of death and the consecration of life, or blasphemy towards those who crave suffering, discomfort and non-existence. The initiate, who is inherently life-loving, can free himself from the urge to self-abasement by willingly "dying" and thus banishing the self-destructive motivations with which he may have been endowed.
L'Air Epais is a ceremony in which a person overcomes the idea of ​​death and brings it out of his system, turning the instruments of death into instruments of lust and life. The coffin, the main ritual attribute, contains the personification of a force that is stronger than death - lust that gives rise to new life. This echoes the symbolism of the coffin, present, however, with a euphemistic touch, in most of the rituals of the Masonic lodges. If the initiate has overt masochistic tendencies, he may, through transference, become a surrogate for those members of the congregation who are endowed with the same traits. He experiences something worse than death when, inside the coffin, instead of the spiritual reward he hoped for, he is presented with unexpected passions from which he has long abstained. (If the initiate is a homophile, the coffin must contain another man. In accordance with all aspects the element of pleasure in the ritual must be that which is most likely to be denied in the life of the initiate.) The most terrible punishment is always given to the one whose abstinence has turned into indulgence. Hence the caveat: the reward of indulgence is the death of the chronic lover of discomfort. In this case, it can serve as an interpretation of the everyday phrase "destroy with mercy."
When, in the later memorial versions of L'Air Epais, the initiate represented the "man of God," the ritual took on the task of weakening the structure of the organization it represented. As Lewis Spence and other writers have pointed out, this factor introduces an element of Messe Noir into the ritual.
The name Stuffy Air implies both the specially forced atmosphere in the initial stages of the ceremony and the closeness in the coffin.
When the performance of L'Air Epais was resumed in 1799, it became a celebration of the success of the curse placed by Jacques de Molay, the last of the Great Leaders of the Templars, condemned to death along with his Knights, on Philip and Pope Clement V. The following text includes the actual curse placed by de Molay on the King and the Pope. Although the dialogue of the Satan Priest, the King and the Pope is presented in modern literary French, de Molay's speech has been retained in its original grandiloquent style.
Nineteenth-century diabolical litany by James Thompson City of Terrible Night has long been used as a Reproof. It is doubtful that any other words would be better suited for this purpose. Fragments of the text can be found in Reynoir's drama Les Templiers of 1806.
Numerous manifestations of Satanism in Masonic rituals, such as, for example, a goat, a coffin, a skull, etc. can easily be euphemized, but the denial of certain values ​​that L'Air Epais demands cannot be masked by recognized theologies. By accepting this degree, the initiate enters the Left Path and chooses Hell instead of Heaven. In addition to being regarded as both a ritual and a ceremony, Stuffy Air is memento mori in its strongest form.

In case you need to cut a pipe and you are in St. Petersburg, then find out

Guichard de Marziac, the fourth witness, a Templar for 50 years, said that in Toulouse he received a certain Hugues de Marchand into the order. After the initiation ceremony, the neophyte was “taken with them higher brothers and kept for a long time in a carefully locked room. Marchand left them pale, with burning eyes, and completely beside himself. “The next day,” says Marziak, “I took him aside and asked him what had caused his excitement.” Marchand replied that it was impossible to tell this and that he would never know joy in his life. And from that moment on, he was always sad.

Étienne de Nerca, a novice, stated that when his half-brother was adopted to the highest order of the Temple He later regretted it very much.

During the process of the English Templars, three of them gave the following testimony: “In reality, there are two types of initiation rites in the order. The first occurs at the moment of acceptance into the order and does not contain anything reprehensible. The second initiation can take place only after a few years, only a few are honored with it, and this rite is kept secret..

In his book The Templars, Gillette Sigle reports a curious fact. While in England, the Grand Master gave a manuscript to the knight William de Pocklington to copy. The chaplain Gaspard de Noferton, who had been admitted to the order only six months earlier, was also present. When he wanted to look into the text, the Grand Master snatched the manuscript from the hands of the scribe and took it with him.

In his testimony, Brother Gaspard de Coche testifies that, while in Palestine, he more than once heard the Grand Master Thibaut Godin ask the brothers to hand over to him all the books related to the Charter of the order. He adds at the same time: “I heard, and I believe in it, that he burned some books, handed over others to the elders of the order, and kept some for himself.”

It seems that one phrase from the testimony of the Templar Goceran de Monpeza confirms the existence of such a secret Charter: "We have three articles that no one will know except God, the Devil and the masters."

We will not dwell on the analysis of the text of the supposedly secret Rite, "discovered" in 1877 in the archives of the Grand Masonic Lodge in Hamburg. However, we will quote one excerpt: "Here begins the Book of Fiery Baptism, or the Secret Charter, compiled for the Consoled Brothers by Master Ronselenus." This document is said to have been signed by Robert de Samfort, procurator of the order in England in 1240. This is a historical figure.

Of course, the term “comforted” here attracts attention, applied to the brothers who received baptism according to the rite of Master Roncelin. And it would be very tempting to see in it a hint of the rite of “consolation” that existed among the Cathars, but then we should be talking about a distorted version of this very peculiar rite, which could only be accepted by a person who, in his way of life, was able to use its fruits. Naturally, this does not apply to the Templar warriors.

Continuing this thought, consider the allusion to prophet or false prophet the role attributed to Jesus.

Preceptor of Normandy Geoffroy de Charnay was admitted to the Order of Amaury de La Roche. Here is what he showed during interrogation: “After accepting me into the order and putting a cloak on me, they brought me a crucifix. Brother Amory ordered me not to believe in the one whose image I see, for this is a false prophet, and not God.

But it was Amaury de La Roche, the closest friend of Louis IX, the future Saint Louis! Another Knight of the Temple made similar confessions during interrogation. The commander who led the initiation ceremony told him, when he refused in horror to spit on the cross: “Do not be afraid of anything, my son. It's not the Lord, it's not God. This is a false prophet."

Let's not forget that Ronselin de Faux, who during interrogations is credited with the role of a distributor of heresy in the order, was a vassal of the kings of Fr. Mallorca, subjects of the kings of Aragon. And they, with weapons in their hands, defended the Cathar heresy in 1213 at the battle of Muret. In the neighborhood of his possessions was the city of Beziers, brutally destroyed by the crusaders of Simon de Montfort on July 22, 1209 during the Albigensian War (about 100 thousand killed). At the time when Ronselin ruled the order, this event had not yet been erased from the memory of people.

Thus, one should obviously distinguish two stages in the development of the Templar heresy. Undoubtedly, during the periods of truce with the Muslims, the Templars also had friendly contacts with them. Islam, as it is directly stated in the Koran, considers Jesus one of the seven prophets, the last before Muhammad, who revealed the highest truth. This concept, new to the Templars, who were mostly poorly educated people, existed in the first centuries of Christianity and was called adoptionism. Supporters of the adoptionist heresy were Hermas, Theodotus, Asclepiodotus, Hermophilus, Apollonides, Artemas, and, finally, Paul of Samosata. They believed that Jesus was only an adopted son of God, a man chosen by God for a particular mission and guided by the Holy Spirit in carrying it out. This is the doctrine of the first period.

In the second period, the attitude of the Templars towards Jesus becomes tougher and he becomes in their eyes only a false prophet. In their opinion, he was lying when he promised the end of the world while those who listened to him were still alive; he lied about his second coming, which would mark the end of the world and the Last Judgment. From now on, for the Templars, he is a false prophet. It is also possible that the Templars communicated with the rabbis or with the leaders of the Ismaili sect of the Assassins, who expressed for them considerations to which the Templars had nothing to object to.

It is also possible that they encountered the Yezidis, a once numerous people whose remnants live today on Mount Sinjar in Iraq. The Yezidis worshiped Malakitauz, the peacock god, the incarnation of Lucifer. Like the Armenians, they retreated into the mountains, pressed by both Muslims and Christians. Naturally, for religious reasons. The religion of the Yezidis comes from ancient Aryan beliefs. It bears the imprint of Zoroastrianism and, of course, is dualistic, binary. All this could seduce some of the leaders of the order and give them the idea to create Secret Inner Circle, a special stage of initiation. At the very first, preparatory, the neophyte was required only to renounce the divine essence of Christ.

It seems to us that this hypothesis can be confirmed by the secret ritual of the second stage of initiation into the order, which included a kiss on a previously bare shoulder;"in the shoulder, in the naked flesh ...", as Brother Geoffrey de Tatan testifies. And another knight, Jacques de Troyes, goes even further: "in naked flesh, in the shoulder and in the ass ...".

And Abu-el-Kassem Mansur, nicknamed Firdowsi, a Persian poet of the 10th-11th centuries, tells us in his poem "Shah-Nameh, or the Book of Kings", grandiose historical and legendary epic of Iran, a strange legend. An Arab prince named Zahhak made a pact with Iblis, the devil. The devil killed Zahhak's father, elevated him to the throne, helped him conquer the vast Persian Empire and kill its king Jemshid. However, he asked permission to kiss Zahhak on the shoulder blades. He agreed. And immediately, two black snakes grew out of Zahhak's shoulder blades, which had to be fed every day with the brains of young men. For this fee, the snakes became Zahhak's watchmen and allowed him to rule Isfahan for nine centuries. It was from him that the Yezidi tribe descended.

The devil, Iblis, appeared to Zahhak in the form of a peacock with a loose tail. And Christians and Muslims accused the Yezidis, worshiping the peacock god, in that they exchange ritual kisses with some snakes, and also indulge in sodomy, homosexuality and incest. Their king, ascending the throne, killed his predecessor in the same way as Zahhak did. They, like the Templars of the secret circle, had a ritual kiss on the bare shoulder. It is obvious that this rite is associated with symbolism. caduceus, a wooden rod, around which, just like around the spine of Zahhak, two snakes intertwined.

However, we recall that all the Templars who reported that passed the rite of secret initiation, and spoke of several higher levels in the order, always recognized only in the renunciation of Christ. If they were adherents of another religious teaching, then no one admitted it.

However, if such a teaching existed, it was revealed to a person gradually, as he higher levels. And we don't know anything about them. We only know that there was a ritual of renunciation of Christ, once introduced by one of the leaders of the order. And we know that this ritual had to have serious grounds to be accepted in that era permeated through and through with the Christian faith. It seems that we have managed to discover its true origin.

Official seal of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar

The official seal of the Knights Templar, which existed until 1146, when Pope Eugene III granted members of the order the exclusive privilege of wearing a red cross on their shield, camisole and cloak

The seal of the so-called Secret Temple, which depicts the Gnostic abraxas (abraksas is a mythical creature with a human face, a rooster's head and snakes instead of legs. — Note. ed.) - a symbol of God the creator

In fact, it is very likely that the Assassins or the Jews could show the masters of the order an excerpt from the "Antiquities of the Jews" by Josephus Flavius, known to this day.

In addition, it should be noted that all the manuscripts of this author, stored in libraries, date back to the 9th or 11th century. They are the works of famous scribe monks. It can be assumed that the texts were subjected to preliminary verification and correction by church censorship. But this passage miraculously escaped her, which makes it all the more valuable.

However, before starting its analysis, it should be recalled how the concept is defined syllogism in classical logic. In the medieval scholastic triad, logic was considered the science of correct reasoning. Pascal believed that logic obviously borrowed its laws from geometry. One of the key concepts of logic is the formula called syllogism. A syllogism is a proposition consisting of three sentences, the last of which, consequence, is contained in one of the first two sentences, while the other confirms that it is contained in it. These three sentences are called as follows:

— big package, which contains the predicate of the consequence;

— smaller package containing its subject;

— consequence, or conclusion, containing the output.

For a better understanding of the syllogism, here is a small example:

Big Package: All Indians are redskins.

Smaller Package: Geronimo, the leader of the Apaches, is an Indian.

Consequence: Geronimo was red.

Logic teaches that if the syllogism is correctly composed, and if the major and minor premises are proved, we are obliged to admit the consequence as well.

Let us now consider an excerpt from the "Antiquities of the Jews" by Josephus, vol. XX, V, 2.

Cusp Fado was succeeded by Tiberius Alexander, the son of Alexander, the former alabarch of Alexandria, who surpassed all his contemporaries in wealth and nobility of origin. And with his fidelity to the Lord, he surpassed the son who betrayed the faith of the fathers. During the time of the latter, a great famine occurred, and Queen Helen bought grain in Egypt at a high price to distribute to the people. At the same time, the sons of Judas the Galilean were executed, inciting the people to rebellion against the Romans, when Quirinus conducted a census in Judea. Their names were James and Simon. Alexander ordered them to be crucified on the cross.

Note that the name Jacob, or in Hebrew Jacob, in Greek it was Jacobos, in Latin Jacobus, and in French Jacques.

The execution on the cross of two sons of Judas the Galilean, who was also called Judas of Gamala (after his native city) or Judas the Holonite (after the name of the province from which he came) and who is mentioned in the Acts of the Holy Apostles ( Bible. Acts of the Holy Apostles (V, 37). - Hereinafter references to the publication: Bible. Books of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. Anniversary publication dedicated to the millennium of the Baptism of Russia. Edition of the Moscow Patriarchy. M., 1988) , occurred in 47 AD. e., since Tiberius Alexander succeeded Cusp at the end of 46, and Ventidius Cumanus succeeded him at the end of 47.

Let us now take the life of the apostle Paul. He stands out as an apostle in 45. His first missionary journey lasts a little over a year. In 47 he is in Jerusalem. Naturally, one should not demand from the "Acts of the Holy Apostles" a strict chronological presentation of events - they are not a truly historical work. Here now and then angels appear and disappear, the fetters fall off the prisoners by themselves, just as the doors of the torture chambers open, and the eunuch of the Ethiopian queen, baptized by the Apostle Philip on the way to Jerusalem, takes off into the air and lands only in the city of Azot, at forty miles from there! All this, of course, is not serious. The fact remains that in the year 47 the Apostle Paul is in Jerusalem. In his Epistle to the Galatians, we read the following: “Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. I did not see another of the Apostles no one except Jacob, the brother of the Lord" (Paul, Epistle to the Galatians. 1.18 19).

It is known that Peter (this Greek word means "stone") is the nickname of Simon, who became Simon-Peter. So, in the year 47 in Jerusalem, Paul sees only Peter and James (Simeon and Jacob in Hebrew). But aren't these Simon and Jacob-Jacob the two that Josephus writes about? We must answer this question in the affirmative.

Indeed, Judas of Gamala, or Judas of Galilee, was the leader of the Jewish integrists who created the party zealots. However, we find confirmation of this in the Gospel: Simon-Peter also bears the nickname Zealot.

"Simon, called the Zealot, Judas Jacob and Judas Iscariot, who later became a traitor" (Bible. Gospel from Luke, VI, 15-16).

“... Peter and James, John ... Jacob Alfeev and Simon Zealot and Judas brother James" (Bible, Acts of the Holy Apostles, I, 13).

This Simon has other nicknames: barhonna, which means "outlaw" (and such in the eyes of Rome were all the zealots); or Canaanite, from the Hebrew word "Khana" which means "possessed", "fanatic" and where did the Greek word "zealot" come from.

This same Simon was the father of Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ:

“He spoke about Judas Simonov Iscariot” (Bible. Gospel of John, VI, 71).

“Then one of His disciples, Judas Simonov Iscariot, who wanted to betray him…” (Bible, Gospel of John XII, 4).

Therefore, there is no more doubt. Simon Peter (Greek for "stone") and James, "brother of the Lord", were the ones crucified on the cross by Tiberius Alexander in 47 AD in Jerusalem.

And they are both sons of Judas the Galilean, who led the rebellion against the census. And Jesus is their older brother. This can be judged from the words of the apostle Mark: “Is not He the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, Josiah, Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here between us?” (Bible, Gospel of brand, VI, 3). And the fact that he is the eldest of the brothers is proved by another passage from the Gospel: “After eight days, when it was necessary to circumcise baby, They gave Him the name Jesus, which was called by the Angel before He was conceived in the womb.

And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him to Jerusalem to present him before the Lord, as it is prescribed in the law of the Lord, that every male child who opens his ( Lodge - mother's womb. — Approx. ed.) , was dedicated to the Lord ... ”(Bible. Gospel ofbows, II, 21-23).

Confirmation that we are talking about brothers in the truest sense of the word, we find in the most ancient lists of the Gospel known to us - Sinaiticus And Behold the Vatican, dating from the 4th c. The term used here "adelfos”, meaning in Greek “brother” - but not a cousin (Greek “anechnos”). At St. Jerome in his famous Latin Vulgate which the Catholic Church considers the officially recognized text of the Gospel, the word is also used frater(brother) and never - consorbinus(cousin).

First conclusion: Jesus' brothers are his siblings and by no means cousins.

The second conclusion: they are not his brothers from Joseph's first marriage, since he, bringing an expiatory sacrifice in the Jerusalem temple for firstborn, demonstrated that this is Jesus. After all, a person brought such a sacrifice only once in his life.

So we have shown that Jesus was the elder brother of Simon the Zealot and James, and thus the uncle of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

However, this Simon the Zealot and James, brothers of Jesus, were in fact the sons of Judas the Galilean, head of the Zealot party, as reported by Flavius ​​Josephus, who cannot be suspected of ulterior motives.

The third conclusion: Jesus, therefore, is the eldest son of the same Judas of Galilee, and that is why in the gospel stories, however already contradictory and confused, this militant rebel - the father - is hidden under the name of a fictional character, the humble Joseph, the very one whom Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant interpreters of Holy Scripture are called "good old man."

Here is another discovery.

For the elder could not marry a virgin, since it was assumed in advance that he was either sterile or impotent. In this case, Jewish law prescribed the dissolution of the marriage within two weeks.

And finally, we have the right to assume that the beautiful library kept in the citadel of the Assassins - the fortress of Alamut - could have a copy Gospels of Bartholomew or that one of the chaplains of the order might have stumbled upon him somewhere in Palestine, at some rabbi's, for example. And this is the Gospel in a Coptic manuscript of the 5th century. contains a message of exceptional importance: Jesus apparently had a twin brother! Judge for yourself: “He spoke to them in Hebrew, saying: “Hello, my esteemed bishop, Peter, hello, Thomas, my second Christ"".

This passage is taken from the Coptic Apocryphal Gospels, translated by Dr. E. Revillou, published by Firmin-Dido. It should be noted that the name "Thomas", which is one of the apostles, is nothing more than a distorted Hebrew word "taoma", meaning "twin brother". The same is true of excerpts from Acts of Thomas(5th century): " Twin of Christ apostle of the Most High, you are also initiated into His secret teaching, you are also clothed with a secret mission” (XXXIX); “Come, O holy power of the Spirit! Come, the sacred Dove that conceives twins! Come, O hidden Mother" (I).

One can imagine what a revolution was made in the souls of the Knights of the Temple, many of whom had previously been excommunicated for various reasons, by this information, which was slowly revealed to them by ignorant chaplains like them: “Jesus is the son of a partisan leader, he had twin brother…".

So, it is very likely that it was precisely this kind of arguments, gleaned from the Assassins or educated Jews, that gradually led the leaders of the order to the idea of ​​​​rejecting the doctrine, which from now on becomes false in their eyes.

It is possible that Friedrich II of Hohenstaufen (1194-1250) also influenced the emergence of the Templar heresy. King of Sicily, emperor of the "Holy Roman Empire", he had a reputation among his contemporaries as an outstanding person. Today we consider him the first representative of the Renaissance. A connoisseur of French, German, Latin, Greek, Arabic and Hebrew, interested in everything in the world, a patron of the sciences and arts, he created in his Palermo in an oriental lush courtyard where Christian, Jewish and Arab sages gathered. He also wrote the famous pamphlet "Three Liars", which states that Moses, Christ and Mohammed brought more grief to the world than happiness.

It was he, and not his namesake, who lived in the 17th century. and friend of Voltaire, is "Frederick II" of some of the higher degrees of Masons.

The presence in the order of many knights who left the Cathars or were previously excommunicated for heresy, blasphemy and sacrilege also contributed to the rapid spread of the practice. renunciations, due to everything mentioned above.

But the question arises: was it dedication in the full sense of the word? Yes, it was.

Genuine tantric ( Tantrism is one of the directions in Hinduism, characterized by a significant amount of mysticism and magic. — Approx. ed.) the initiation, which takes place on the first full moon after the winter solstice and is renewed at each new moon, involves breaking three taboos: food, sex, and religion. It is this Tantrism that merges with the so-called "Buddhism of small steps", which, according to the Hindus, was created by the "atheist Buddha" himself. It's about the realrelease,necessary to go "beyond" slavish dependence on customs, religious prejudices and despotic army of clerics. Since a person unites with God only through his consciousness. His heart shrinks from fear, and only consciousness makes a decision.

Naturally, simple Cathars did not go as far in their striving for the Absolute as the "perfect" ones. And it is highly probable that even those Templars who received a more or less complete understanding of Manichaeism did not go beyond a very primitive and clumsy understanding of it.

May the reader forgive us for presenting in this book, which we consider serious, an excerpt from Maurice Druon's magnificent epic The Damned Kings. Although this is a historical novel, yet in the book "The Lily and the Lion" we find a magnificent example of that primitive Manichaeism, which inspired the rebellious peasants and downtrodden serfs when they gathered for their Sabbaths.

“Kneeling on the bed, with her hands on her hips, so that the shadow fell on her bosom, Beatrice d’Hirson said with her eyes wide open:

“Understand, Monseigneur, the priests and popes in Rome and Avignon do not teach the truth. God is not alone. There are two gods: the god of light and the god of darkness, the prince of good and the prince of evil. Even before the creation of the world, the people of darkness rebelled against the people of light. And in order to be able to live, for evil is death and non-existence, the vassals of the prince of evil absorbed some of the principles of good. And since they carried both principles, both good and evil, they were able to create the world and create a person in which good and evil were intertwined in an eternal struggle. But the leading role belongs to evil, because it is an element of the people-creator. It is easy to see that there are two principles, because there is a man and there is a woman, created different, like you and me,” she continued with a voluptuous smile. “And it is evil that tickles our bellies, induces them to unite ... And people, in whose nature evil is stronger than good, must worship Satan and make an alliance with him in order to be happy and succeed in business. And they should not do anything for the prince of good - he is their enemy.

“You have more brains than I thought. Who taught you all this?

“Former Templars,” she replied.

So, let's leave Beatrice d'Hirson to initiate Robert d'Artois into the secrets of "left-hand Manichaeism" and draw a conclusion. Based on the documents discussed in this chapter, it seems absolutely impossible that within the order of the Temple there would not be The secret inner circle which had its even more secret stages of initiation, where they professed a much more metaphysical Manichaeism than that preached by Beatrice d'Hirson in the bed of Robert d'Artois.

Successors of the Order

At the end of this chapter the reader will inevitably raise the question of the successors of the Templars. This is more than logical. Let us say right away that in the archives of Memoirs of the Templars, an organization that sets itself the task of finding and exposing all kinds of fakes and fabrications on this subject, there are many documents related to our question.

In fact from the point of view of historical science only a few of them are genuine. We will limit ourselves to the most reliable data:

but) Order of Calatrava founded in 1164 by King Alexander of Castile in the image of the Cistercians. After the dissolution of the Order of the Temple, officially proclaimed in the bull of Pope Clement V "Voke clamentis", promulgated on April 5, 1312 at the Vienna Cathedral, the Spanish Templars, who were found not guilty, joined it.

b) Order of Christ founded in 1318 by King Denis I of Portugal. It included the Portuguese Templars, also acquitted.

in) Order of St. Andrew and the Scottish Thistle, founded by King Robert the Bruce of Scotland on June 24, 1314, on the day of the victory at Bannockburn, when the Scottish Templars helped him defeat the army of Edward II of England, son-in-law of Philip IV the Handsome. Like the previous ones, this order still exists. It is attached to the English crown. In the XVIII century. through the mediation of some of its members, this branch of the Templars united with the Freemasons, as a result of which the rituals of a number of higher degrees arose: the Scottish old accepted, the Scottish corrected, the Swedish, Memphis and Misraim series. And the cradle of the Masonic movement of that era was the famous system strict Templar obedience Baron Hund.

Already at the time of its active existence, the Order of the Templars was seen in the eyes of contemporaries as a kind of magical institution. The Knights of the Temple were suspected of magic, sorcery and alchemy. (An era earlier they would have been suspected of shamanism). It was believed that many of the Templars were associated with "dark forces". Back in 1208, Pope Innocent III called the templars to order due to their "non-Christian actions and incantations of spirits."

It is known that the Templars dreamed of establishing on earth the Kingdom of Peace and the Unity of all peoples, for which they were engaged in esoteric research and the search for interfaith churchness based on Gnostic teachings. At the same time, "churchness" was understood in its original sense - from the Greek "ekklhsia", that is, the "community" of people united by an idea.

A few words about the Gnostics. The Gnostics are an Alexandrian sect based on the secret doctrines of early Christianity. The Gnostics interpreted the Christian mysteries in accordance with pagan symbolism. They hid their secret information and philosophical achievements from outsiders and taught only a small group of specially initiated persons.

The Gnostics were looking for (and thought they had found) Truth with a capital T. They considered it to be the basis of Gnosis (Greek “gnosis” - “knowledge”), that is, secret knowledge about God, the world and the true spiritual nature of man, discovered by the prophets and preserved by the esoteric tradition. The possession of such knowledge, which only the elect could be granted, in itself leads to Salvation. Evil in the world was considered to have arisen initially as a result of a “technological error”. Its destruction occurs only gradually, in the course of the world process of restoring the planned harmony, which is again accelerated by the prophets and divine messengers. God, according to the teachings of the Gnostics, is hidden and unknowable. But at the same time it is the supreme true God. The majority of people (not related to the Gnostics) worship the untrue God, whose image they capture in the form of icons and frescoes. Meanwhile, this is only a derivative of the true God, the father is not the world, but "the lies of this world", that is, the Devil. However, for the Gnostics, the Devil was not the father of evil, but only a loser, a victim of his own delusions.

The Templars, in particular, borrowed the symbol of Androgyne from the Gnostics. For them, it was an occult image of universal unity. He was depicted as a figure with wings, seated on a cube. On his head is a torch with three flames. The right hand is male (with the Latin inscription "solve" - ​​"allow"), the left is female (with the inscription "coagula" - "condense"). The trouble is that Androgyn had a goat's head; her horns, beard and ears form a PENTAGRAM (known to us as a five-pointed star). For Christian hierarchs, this head, of course, was associated with the Devil. And subsequently the fact of worshiping Androgyn was blamed on the Templars. Meanwhile, even among the Pythagoreans, the pentagram was a symbol of health and an identification mark of the community.
The androgyne of the Gnostics among the Templars had his own name, called Baphomet.

Baphomet (Baphomet) - read from right to left the word "Temophab", meaning "Templi omnium hominum pacis abbas", that is, "Actor of the temple of peace of all people." By this term, the Templars understood the emanation of the world "We", an astral whirlwind that could lead people along the path of improvement, to universal peace and brotherhood.
All this was in sight. However, later research has shown that, most likely, within the Order of the Templars there was a narrow circle of initiates who developed and protected from outsiders a much deeper occult doctrine than the persecutors of the templars could imagine.
In the 18th century, two documents relating to the Middle Ages were found in Hamburg. They contained a secret code for templars who had reached the "inner circle" of the Order, and supplemented the church charter. These were the Rule of the Chosen Brethren and the Rule of the Comforted Brethren. In his book History of the Order of the Templars and the Crusades, Gerard Sebanesco comments on these texts in detail and proves that they are about instructions, the purpose of which was to keep the secrets of the occult hierarchy strictly separated from the rest of the Order.

There are many versions about the esoteric secrets so zealously guarded by the Templars. To this day, works on this topic continue to appear. In his amazing book Jean de Fodoas, the occult writer Maurice Magre puts forward a hypothesis according to which the Templars used the figure of Baphomet charged with magic during the battles. She allegedly ensured their victory until it was stolen from them during one of the battles of the Christian army with the Mongol invaders in Bohemia.

Maurice Magre adds:
“It is likely that all the great conquerors who left their mark on the destinies of various peoples used magic, which allowed them to control world forces in their interests.”

We do not believe in magic, so we will not seriously consider this last thesis, but it seems that the highest ranking templars did possess esoteric knowledge. While in Touraine, in the dungeon of Chinon Castle, they painted symbolic graffiti on the walls of their cells, which generations of scholars are trying to decipher.

The modern alchemist Eugène Canselier, author of The Two Dwellings of the Alchemists, believes that he has succeeded in interpreting the most mysterious and complex of these drawings. According to his version, the Templars knew how the earth cycle would develop until the Apocalypse.

“On the wall of one of the cells,” Canselier writes, “the Templars, sitting in the keep of Chinon Castle awaiting execution, left, among other no less interesting graffiti, a brief outline of the development of nature. On the side of the doorway stands out a circle scratched with a stiletto on a soft stone, the right side of which is barely outlined and decisively shaded with vertical lines. Indeed, the golden and silver ages ended when, in 1308, the adepts of the Order of the Temple presented to posterity a picture of the remorseless course of time. That is why the gnomon on the cosmic dial, drawn from a smaller circle with the letter “S” in the center (“S” is the first letter of the French word “soleil” - the sun), divides the upper sector, that is, the Bronze Age, into two halves. One half is the past three hundred years, and the other is the future three hundred years, it still has the letter "B", which among the Romans denoted the number 300. These six centuries are also marked with the letters A, B, C, D, E, F. The letter The "A" is larger than the others and is connected by a curly brace to another "A" directly above it, symbolizing the two ages mentioned. To the right and slightly above the Sun, we see the Moon and the Earth - a circle crossed out by a cross, a life that will end with the end of the Iron Age, indicated in the lower quarter of the circle. The stiletto of the unknown Templar moves inexorably on, so that, having reached the vertical, he marks the great confusion in the noise of the trumpets. Then the Chosen Ones will be able to repeat the prophetic words of the soothsayer from Patmo:
“I saw a new heaven and a new earth; because the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and the sea no longer existed.”

Pretty free interpretation, don't you think? We will meet again and again with how the occultists freely interpret the deeds of their predecessors. In the meantime, let's try to answer the question, what, in fact, did the Templars achieve by strengthening and expanding their Order.
The conspiracy theorist Jean Marquez-Rivier, in his book History of Esoteric Doctrines, defined the political aspect of the activities of the inner circle of the Order of the Temple:
"It appears that there was a group within the Order itself, inspired by strict esotericism, who had the secret goal of seizing power."

So, the Templars needed power in order to unite the Western world and become its real occult rulers. What means were they going to use to carry out their plan? The actual union of secular and religious power? However, for this it was necessary to reconcile the Cross of Christianity and the Crescent of Islam, turning the Mediterranean Sea from a dividing abyss into a center of unity of world religions.

The Templars, who did not confine themselves to dreams of an ideal society, understood perfectly well that in order for the confrontation between the Christian world and the East to disappear sooner or later, it was necessary to methodically develop commercial contacts between the two sides. The leaders of the Order tried in every possible way to take control of industry, trade and financial relations between the Christian and Muslim worlds. The intention of the Templars was to undermine existing norms, to completely reorganize the traditional structure of human society, with Europe being only an intermediate stage on the way to the implementation of this project.

Although most of the political leaders of that era were treated by the secret circle of the Templars only as pawns and blind executors of their will, there were some exceptions. In particular, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II Staufen was perhaps one of those initiated into the audacious plan. In particular, despite the strong indignation of Rome, he established contacts with Muslim adepts, instead of going on a crusade against them. Without a doubt, this emperor of Germany was not a pawn in someone else's game - on the contrary, he reached the highest circles of initiation. It was he who in 1228 presided over the "round table" in Akko, where representatives of all knightly orders, both Christian and Muslim, gathered.

To this day, in the most mountainous and least visited place, in the Italian province of Puglia, on the outskirts of the city of Andria, there is a huge fortified castle built by Frederick II. Some people call this building the Castle of the master of the world. This massive fortress, Castel del Monte, was built according to the exact octagonal plan, like the Templar chapels. Although the castle later served as the residence of high people, it was clearly intended for other purposes, there was not a single room with a utilitarian purpose: no bedrooms, no dining rooms, no living rooms. During the life of the emperor, Castel del Monte, of course, was used only on solemn occasions for meetings and ceremonies. The octagonal plan is also preserved inside the castle: all rooms are located around one central, also octagonal, master's room. This room was probably the Middle Room - the most hidden and therefore the most sacred.

The accusation concerning the heretical rite of admission to the order was the most common. At the same time, the majority of those arrested confessed to it.

According to the charter and statutes of the Knights Templar, the rite of admission to the order should have proceeded something like this: a chapter was going, at which the leader of the chapter asked the brothers about objections to the admission of a neophyte to the order, after which the chosen brothers went after him and talked about the hardships that he would have to endure, becoming a member of the order, and also inquired about his origin, social status, etc.

Then the neophyte appeared before the chapter and the head of the chapter also had to tell him about the hardships and ask about the desire to join the order.

Next, the neophyte was taken away, and if there were still no objections to his candidacy, he was again brought into the chapter, and he took an oath on the Holy Gospel. After that, the leader of the chapter placed a cloak on him and kissed him on the mouth. Further, the statutes of the order were explained to the brother. This ended the ceremony.
Following the official accusations of August 12, 1308, during the rite of initiation into the Order of the Temple, neophytes renounced Christ and defiled the holy cross of the Lord, and also committed other obscene acts to a Christian.

Here is a description of the initiation rite, according to the testimony of Commander Outremer Rimbaud de Caron, given by him in the presence of papal cardinals in Chinon, in August 1308: “He swore on the Holy Gospel that he would give honest and exhaustive evidence about himself and about the brothers of the order, and about the order itself on issues related to the Catholic faith and the charter of the said order, as well as about the five leaders and brothers of the order. We diligently interrogated him about the circumstances of his initiation into the order. He said that about forty-three years had passed since he became a knight and was received into the Order of the Temple in the chapel of the local Templar command in the city of Richarenchesse, in the diocese of Carpentras (Carpentras) or St. Paul Trois Château (Saint-Paul-Trois- Chateaux) brother Roncelin de Faux, who at that time was the commander of Provence. During the ceremony, the commander did not say anything reprehensible to the neophyte, but after the initiation, a brother sergeant approached him, whose name he does not remember, in view of his long-standing death. He took him aside, holding a small cross under his cloak, and when all the brothers had gone and they were left alone, namely the brother sergeant and the witness, this brother sergeant showed him the cross. The witness did not remember whether it had a crucifix on it or not, but believed, however, that it had an image of a crucifix, written or carved. And this brother sergeant said to the witness, "You must disown him." And the witness, not believing that he was committing a sin, said: “So I renounce.”

As a rule, the rite of renunciation of Christ took place after the official ceremony, when the brother was dressed in the cloak of the order; few brothers participated in it - a neophyte and several brothers who received it (which could be either sergeants or ordinary knights, or high-ranking Templars). In addition, the neophyte had to kiss the recipient on the mouth, stomach and lower part of the spine.

In the historical environment there is no consensus on this point of accusation: Jonathan Riley-Smith believes that such a custom could take place, in view of the state in which the order was at the beginning of the 14th century: “It is difficult to find reasons for the penetration of such strange behavior into the great and powerful monastic order, however, we must admit that the interrogations of the Templars showed how badly it was and how it needed reforms and reorganization.

Malcolm Barber refutes the accusations, referring to the materials of the trial, which recorded multiple cases of violence against the accused, who confessed to heresy: guilt by the regime of Philip the Handsome, or that their confessions testify to something other than the weakness of a person before spiritual and physical torture, for only exceptionally strong personalities can withstand torture.

The disagreements of historians are due to two reasons: firstly, we do not know of any evidence of the heresy of the Templars before the process, and secondly, the process itself was carried out with numerous violations. All this makes it possible to build endless conjectures and reasoning, but does not allow to put an end to this matter.
In addition, we have very little information about the possible reasons for the emergence of such a rite in the order.
The most complete explanation was given by Geoffroy de Gonville during interrogations dated November 15, 1307: “They say that he was once introduced into our order by a master who was a prisoner of the Sultan, as I said. Some argue that this is one of the nasty and perverted additions to the rule made by Master Roncelin; there are those who believe that this is a consequence of the sinful institutions and doctrines of Master Tom Bero; and finally, still others think that this is done following the example and in memory of St. Peter, who denied Christ three times.
Brother Bosco de Mazualier also said that, allegedly, when asked about the meaning of this ritual, the prior Bourgea said that “we are talking about a prophet” and “it’s too long to explain.”

If Bosco's testimony can be understood by taking into account the sixth and seventh articles of the list of accusations of August 12, which dealt with the fact that the Templars allegedly considered Christ a false prophet, then Gonville's testimony seems to be of real interest for analysis. In his explanation of the initiation rite, the legends about some masters of the order of the Temple, recorded by the chroniclers, were developed.

So, the master who was captured was Gerard de Ridfort - a Templar, because of whom, according to the chronicler Heraclius, the Battle of Hatti was lost. The master was one of the few Templars whom Saladin did not execute in captivity, which brought on him some suspicions of his contemporaries that de Ridfort had converted to Islam.
Thomas Bero was considered a failure and a bad master, because during his tenure as Grand Master, the order lost the largest castles in the Holy Land - Safet and Beaufort. This is probably why Brother Geoffroy included him in the list of suspected founders of heresy. The personality of Master Ronselin is most interesting. He appears in the Chinon letter of the cardinals as the commander of Provence, and this brother also dealt with the settlement of relations between the English king and Simon de Montfort the Younger. Some believe that Ronselin was Master of England, but we have no evidence of this. In any case, the only document confirming Ronselin's participation in the introduction of the heretical rite is the "Book of Fiery Baptism" - a document fabricated by the Masons to prove the existence of the secret teachings of the Templars.
Thus, Gonville's explanation, unfortunately, does not shed any light on the rite of initiation into the order.

The accusation of obscene kissing was based on the Templar custom of kissing the neophyte on the mouth. According to the charter: "And he who accepts him as a brother must raise him from his knees and kiss him on the mouth, and usually the brother chaplain also kisses him."

In the early Middle Ages, a kiss on the mouth meant a greeting. However, later, in the Gothic era, something happened that one of the prominent representatives of the Annales school, Jacques Le Goff, calls a general desacralization, that is, a new view of the world, which now lingered on the visible, on the world given in sensations, instead of being only a simple symbol of hidden reality.

Over time, the Templar kiss became associated with something obscene. All this allowed the royal legalists to fabricate such a heinous accusation.

The accusations leveled against the Templars would be difficult to explain without taking into account other well-known political scandals of the early fourteenth century.

As Helen Nicholson writes: "The original accusations of 1307 were compiled by a certain Escue de Florian of Béziers, prior of Montfaucauld."<...>Askew's accusations were similar to those brought against leading political figures of the time, such as Pope Boniface VIII and Walter Langton.<...>Philip IV's new adviser, Guillaume de Nogaret, fabricated the following accusations against Pope Boniface: he was a heretic, he practiced simony and sodomy, he was dishonestly elected, his adviser was the devil, and he believed that the French had no soul."

As can be seen from the above citations, all these accusations were united not only by the main point - falling into heresy and renunciation of Christ, but also by participation in the case of the King of France, Philip the Handsome. One can argue for a long time about the role of this monarch in these processes, only one thing remains indisputable - it was during the era of Philip IV in France that the position of the crown was extremely strengthened, and the Pope not only renounced political influence on France, but actually became a prisoner of the French king.

Thus, the accusations brought against the Templars were essentially no different from the traditional accusations of their era, but were so skillfully fabricated that, as Nicholson writes, "the weaknesses of the order were evident, and defense was not possible."

Also, the Templars were accused of holding their chapters with extreme secrecy. This accusation has a documentary justification: according to paragraph 387 of the "French Rule" of the Templars, the brothers gathered at the chapter "should take care that not a single person from the brothers of the Temple could eavesdrop when they lead their chapter."

This requirement is very easily explained by looking at the further paragraphs of the Rite (pp. 386 to 415) concerning the holding of ordinary chapters: hat and cap what is said above, and should stand before the one who heads the chapter, and kneel once or twice, or more, and should be humble, like one who confesses, and should say the following: “Good sir, I I ask for mercy from the Lord and the Mother of God, from you and from the brothers, for I have sinned, ”and must tell about his guilt fully and truthfully, as it happened, and he must not lie either out of shame of the flesh, or out of fear of the justice of the House; for if he lies, it will not be a confession, and let it be known that it has been established for our chapter so that the brethren may confess their sins and correct them.”

After that, the head of the chapter was to tell the rest of the brothers about his sin and discuss the punishment for him.

So, here we are dealing with the practice of general confession, which meant confession of sins at a general meeting in front of all those present. Such confession was practiced in the West until the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), at which it was established that every Catholic must confess to a priest at least once a year.

As Marie-Anne Polo de Beaulieu writes in her work “Medieval France”: “The IV Lateran Council, which laid the foundation for Western Christianity, with the 21st canon, decided that every believer secretly and personally must confess (oral confession) to the parish priest at least once a year (before Easter communion). The new demand for confession of their own sins forced the believers to reveal the whole truth of their lives before the shepherd... The establishment of personal relationships between the clergy and the flock contributed to the onset of a new stage in the development of Christianity and the transition from external ritual to taking possession of the inner life of believers.”

The Templars adhered to the old rule, apparently appearing more often before the chapter than before the priest (chaplain) of the order. But they cannot be accused of apostasy. Henry Charles Lee, the leading specialist of the 19th century on the history of the Inquisition, notes: “The Order was founded before repentance was recognized as a sacrament and entrusted to priests; at the same time, confession to another person was not yet made compulsory. The Templars were a monastic order, and all monastic orders usually had daily or weekly chapters at which the brethren repented of their sins; here a penance was imposed on them (usually they were scourged on the spot), and they received absolution from the hands of the presiding officer of the chapter, regardless of whether he was ordained or not. In the era of St. Thomas Aquinas, this absolution was considered significant even when it was given by a lay person.

Thus, it is quite understandable that the Templars, as well as other monastic orders, did not allow outsiders to their chapters. This also explains the "mysteriousness" of the ceremony of admission to the order: at the ceremony, the neophyte had to confess his sins, which outsiders had no right to know about.

The symbol of the cross is present in many religions of the world and is the main element of faith. Orthodoxy also places him as a central figure and gives him many meanings and functions: protection and salvation from all evil. But there are also more ancient symbols of the cross, one of them is the cross of the Templars. It appeared long before the rise of Christianity and carries sacred pagan meanings.

Such an amulet can save you from many troubles and give you the necessary strength if you use it correctly.

Historical meaning

Outwardly, the amulet looks like an equally ray cross enclosed in a circle, which is a characteristic feature of Celtic symbolism.

Its historical significance is very wide and many-sided, since such a symbol appeared many centuries ago, when Christianity was not yet heard on earth.

In its original meaning, the Templar cross signifies the world in its unity. Four equal beams speak about how the world works: the sun, earth, water and air are united in their totality and personify all life in our world. The cross of the Templars received its first name, based on a similar interpretation of the amulet: the circle of the sun.

What links the Templar cross and Christianity

Today, the amulet cross of the Templars and Christianity are firmly interconnected, which is quite surprising, since such an amulet initially carries a pagan meaning, which is unacceptable for Orthodoxy.

On this score, there are two main theories of how the Templar cross could penetrate the Christian religion:

• According to the first of the theories, the Celtic cross appeared as an alternative between the traditional Christian crucifix and the pagan creed. A similar innovation is attributed to the missionaries, who thus wanted to simplify the introduction of a new religion for the Irish islands.
• According to the second theory, the cross of the Templars, which is a symbol of faith enclosed in a vicious circle, passed into Christianity as a sign of infinite faith in God.

Both theories are strongly criticized by specialists in religion and occult symbols, but the fact remains: the Templar cross is an amulet whose history goes back many centuries. Such a talisman has great power if used correctly.

The meaning of the Templar cross

The intricate and long history of this talisman suggests that the meaning of the symbol itself is quite complex and multifaceted. The following main functions of the Templar cross can be distinguished:

• The unusual shape of the talisman helps to collect and accumulate creative energy, which can then be used by the owner of the amulet itself.
• Like many ancient symbols, such a talisman carries a powerful protective charge that can protect you from any external negativity.
• The Templar Cross will help you avoid evil-minded people and potential enemies.
• In addition, such an amulet contains a pentagram, which, as you know, is a powerful magical symbol. Because of this, such a talisman is often used in various magical rituals.
• If you constantly wear such an amulet, then luck and success will accompany you in everything.

The amulet purchased in advance should be properly cleaned of extraneous energy impurities, and then activated by putting a little of your energy into it. Then just wear it constantly with you, preferably as close to the body as possible.

Poor Templar's Amulet

There is another type of Templar cross, which since the Middle Ages has been called the "poor Templar's amulet." Such a meaning was attached to this symbol by its specifically designated role in human life: to improve the financial situation.

This technique, even in past centuries, was not subject to wide publicity: it was used mainly by noble people who needed to increase their capital.

To make such an amulet of a poor Templar is quite simple, you just need to carefully and responsibly approach the ritual itself.

It is performed strictly on a strictly defined day and time: on the thirteenth lunar day, immediately after the sun sets below the horizon. Other days should not be chosen, as the effect of such an event will be too insignificant.

To make the amulet itself, you will need:

A coin of any denomination, but always in the currency in which you want to make a profit.

• File.
• Fine sandpaper for polishing metal.
• Sharp needle.
• Sheet of white paper.
• Pencil.
• A sharp needle, preferably sterile.

First of all, you should make the talisman itself. To do this, use a file or similar device to remove from the coin the entire side on which its face value is displayed. To do this, file down all the protruding parts, and then carefully sand the surface of the coin.

All these actions are needed in order to engrave a new value of the coin on the prepared surface with a sharp needle: it will be the number that you need as an increase in capital. Be sure to sign the name of the currency under the new denomination, observing one simple rule: the currency you write must match the coin itself and the profit you want to receive. Simply put, it is impossible to write a dollar currency on a ruble coin.

Below the indicated amount, draw the symbol of an inverted pentagram.

If such procedures are difficult for you to perform, then you can simply take the coin to an engraving specialist and explain in detail what needs to be done, this will not affect the outcome of the ritual.

After the amulet of the poor Templar is ready, you should prepare and sign an agreement with higher powers to receive the amount of money you need. To do this, you should transfer a life-size image of your new talisman to the top of a white sheet of paper.

The text of the contract to be concluded should be written below:

“Powers of the black flame, give me the money I need, and I will always repay the debt.” "Spero meliora - quaerens, quem devoret - ab ovo - bis dat, qut cito dat. Cessante caussa cessat effectus - exceptis excipiendis.

Both phrases should be written without blots in your hand.

Now it remains only for you to put your signature at the bottom of the sheet with the contract. To do this, prick your index finger with a new needle and leave a bloody impression of it in the right place.

When the contract is signed, it should be burned in a candle flame, and the ashes should be carefully collected and dissolved in a glass of water. The resulting mixture should be drunk, only after that the ritual is considered completed.

From this day on, the talisman should be carried constantly with you, preferably in your wallet, as if it were an ordinary coin.
