The
International Order of
Gnostic Templars™
The International Order of Gnostic Templars
is a division of the Scottish Knight Templars
and is an organization dedicated to the revival of Gnostic Wisdom
and the ancient Goddess Tradition of the original Templars.
After the extermination of much of the Templar Order on Friday, October 13, 1307 in
France, many of the remaining Templars sailed to Scotland and preserved their
ancient secrets regarding gnosticism, alchemy, yoga, and an ancient,
unbroken lineage of Holy Grail masters from the East.
This lineage had passed through John the Baptist and John the Apostle before
merging with the Templar Grand Masters when the Knights were in the Middle East.
The power of this lineage now moves through the Sinclairs of Scotland.
The current Commanderies of the I.O.G.T.
branch of Scottish Knight Templars,
are at the Prince Henry St Clair Preceptory at Noss Head, Scotland,
and the St. John's Knight Templars Preceptory in Sedona, AZ USA.
The Patron Saints of the Order are St. Michael, Sanat Kumara, Sananda Kumara (the
Christ),
John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and Mary Magdalene,
past Templar Grand Masters (including Hugh de Payens), Saint Germaine,
and the Universal Goddess, in Her many forms.
The Grail Castles are the centers where the rites and teachings of the IOGT
are observed and promulgated.
They are also places where group meetings and decision regarding protocol within the order
occur.
These are local, national, and international Grail Castles.
