When Philip The Fair had several hundreds of the Templars (Christian Knights) rounded up and tortured (in order to sieze their lands) ... These knights were repeatedly tortured into confessing an odd blasphemous obscenity .. That being they admitted that in rituals they kissed the general hindquarters of a statue of the devil Baphomet .. The Templars besides being the founders of International banking, also in their seat at Jerusalem had for several hundred years protected pilgrims journeying to the Holy land ...
Numerous of these Templars , some who were eventually executed (Jacque du Molay among these ) .. and some who were eventually released after losing properties and name .. recanted this confession .. The papal seat also failed to come to the Templar's aid .. as it was in a precarious position ...
As there was really no precedent in pagan faiths for this macabre ritual .. do we now think it's elaboration was a concoction of anything but odd dark sinister twisted

repressed Christian thinking .. or do some still believe that dedicated Christian Knights somehow aspired to be teabagged by a demon?

re:jellybean .. I know this stuff exists .. but sorry - IMO is just more modern paranoic Judaeochristian dualism and wierd imaginings ...
Study Pike's 'Moral and Dogmas' ..found in any antiquated bookstore if you want "real" freemasonic thought .. given Mason's are dry rote inheritors of a dead tradition now ..
But in Rousseau, Montequieu, Voltaire, Franklin, Madison, Paine and Hamilton's ... and many others day .. the Gentile Qabalistic thinking actually had some very ethical currents to its thinking ..
However much a new "paranoic conspiracy" order of thought wants to make a new heresy of it ..
We owe "The Liberty" tree and many other things to this order of thinking ...

jellybean ..please find Pike ... in that day all those people were doing was studying "Torah" with more depth than modern Christians have a clue about .. The only "Satanism" is the perverted mind that tries to twist that into a new "heresy"

re: NeoArt- TY,TY .. yeah I think the lewd neotwit Crowley gave the Masonbashing a huge surge too .. He was a Freemason ripoff blasphemous PT Barnum of Occultism .. people integrating those nasty modern offshoots to bash Rosicrucianism and Masonry have no idea how wrong they are .. and so concise as you mention ..except for persecuting people.. they are ideologically repeating the maleficarum .. pernicious document that that was (for any browsing a guide used in Middleages for torturing witches actually guiding the "expected confessions" ..
