The Head of God

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book Review: The Head of God - The Lost Treasure of the Templars by Keith Laidler.

In the opening paragraph, the author misquotes the title of the Order, as ‘The Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon’. It seems a popular modern manipulation to cut out the most relevant part of their title, as templar knights were baptised and confirmed Christian, they recited the Apostles Creed, made Christian Confession, took Holy Communion, gave up their lands and family to fight unto death two thousand miles from home, and they received the Christian Last Rites upon their deathbed! How could I read on? 

Taking as his foundation script, the Holy Blood and Holy Grail book which was based on the now discredited Priory of Sion, I find this will only mislead readers further. However, I read on! The Templars were expected to find relics for the cathedrals, and they probably searched and found many well known items that were mentioned in the gospels. We need to look at conjecture and supposition as we don’t have a great deal of evidential information about these monks who we must remember were tortured for their confessions of heresy which they retracted before being burnt at the stake. So many experts on the Templars ignore the torture and the recanting of the confessions and this book is no different so we are led to believe that a head of some kind was ‘worshipped’. 

Sigmund Freud had a hypothesis that Moses was not a Jew, but a follower of the extraordinary 18th dynasty heretical Egyptian king, Akhenaton. The cult goes back 9000 years!
