Paris, the Illuminati, and Friday the 13th: Is the President announcing a Masonic “special relationship” with France?
Last night I talked with Jimmy Church on Coast to Coast about the history of the superstition regarding Friday the 13th and its connection with the anniversary of the arrest of the Knights Templar in Paris in 1307 by King Philip IV of France. Of course, the fact that the tragedy in Paris also happened on a Friday the 13th was on everybody’s mind. I brought up that hundreds of years later, during the French Revolution, when Louis XVI was executed by guillotine, a Freemason in the crowd is reported to have snatched up his severed head, held it in the air, and shouted “Jacques de Molay, thou art avenged!” . De Molay, of course, was the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, who had been burned at the stake for the crimes of blasphemy and Devil-worship that he had confessed to multiple times. Severed head of Louis XVI displayed to crowd by Freemason The implication was that the Revolution was the work of a Masonic plot (which it largely was), and the Masons were a continuation of the Templars. So a hit against the French crown was a way of getting back for what had been done to [...]

Twyman on Fade to Black with Jimmy Church about Purgstall-Hammer’s Templar artifacts
I was on Fade to Black with Jimmy Church last Tuesday, a few days before he also brought me on Coast to Coast AM to talk about Friday the 13th and the Templars. We went into detail about the Hammer-Purgstall Templar artifacts I’ve found in the British Museum for two hours! It was really in-depth. Here’s the archive of the show.

Crazy rituals with masks in music videos
The theme here is Eyes Wide Shut-style ritual magick in music videos involving people wearing masks. I’ve found a couple of these. Message me if you know of more. (Note: I am not in any way suggesting that the music in these videos is good, or even that the videos are good in most cases. It’s just a list of things that are similar.) First, there’s “Love in the Old Days” by Daddy from 2013. This is from actor/director James Franco‘s band, and it features famous OTO acolyte and avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger. Who knew he was into this stuff, right? The second one, Internazionale’s “Pleasure and Shame,” is much more obscure, and very, very weird. But totally awesome. Thirdly, here’s Haus Arafna’s “Lucifer (Between You and I),” which involves men in pointed black hooded robes, rough sex, and other strangeness. Finally, this one (ironically called “Stedad,” no relation to “Daddy”) was actually described by the director as “Eyes Wide Shut on the Beach.” The licking and burning of money in the end makes me wonder if making the video was an attempt at a money ritual on the part of the band. Of course, David Bowie’s new video “Blackstar” [...]

John, the Head of Prophecy
“When you come to know what ‘head’ means, and that prophecy issues from the head, (then) understand the meaning of ‘Its head was removed.’” — The Apocryphon of James The following is an excerpt from Baphomet: The Temple Mystery Unveiled by Tracy R. Twyman and Alexander Rivera: For rather obvious reasons, heads have been considered symbols of wisdom, intelligence, and the mind by pretty much every culture ever. This includes the emblem of a disembodied head, and that of a skull. In fact it used to be traditional to keep a human skull in one’s study as a paperweight and memento mori (“reminder of death”). In the Holy Land in the time of Jesus and John, it was a common belief that the mummified heads or skulls of prophets, magicians and wonder-workers held a particular power. Egyptian, Jewish, and Arab magicians have written of the custom of using mummified heads as oracles. The talking severed head of the giant Bran in Celtic lore (believed to have magically protected London from French invasion), the singing head of poet Orpheus in Greek stories, and the prophetic skull of Adam in Judeo-Christian apocrypha are examples of mythical disembodied heads that have been linked [...]

The Chinon Parchment and the Church apologia on the Templars
Below is a video that I mentioned in the interview with Freeman Fly that will air on The Free Zone this Saturday, October 31, 2015 at 8 PM EST, promoting my new book written with Alexander Rivera, Baphomet: The Temple Mystery Unveiled, which is set to go to press this weekend. The video features Barbara Frale, discoverer of the controversial Chinon Parchment, offering what seems like propaganda and apologia on behalf of both the Church and the Templar Knighthood they chartered. In the Freeman interview, I question the way the Parchment was allegedly found: suddenly after 700 years of being lost in the Vatican Secret Archives. I also question the way that the media has chosen to portray the contents of the Parchment: as being exculpatory of the Templars on the issues of heresy, blasphemy, and sexual immorality (as those terms were defined at the time). As part of this discussion, I mentioned a National Geographic documentary I saw on YouTube featuring Ms. Frale. The show presents the entire Church leadership as hapless pawns in the hands of the king of France, and the Templars as innocent casualties of politics and greed. Frale, a paleographist who’s worked at the Vatican [...]

New Baphomet book available on Amazon
Buy the brand new book Baphomet: The Temple Mystery Unveiled by Tracy R. Twyman and Alexander Rivera in a fully-illustrated beautiful hardcover first edition at Amazon now. “Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? And be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” For seven centuries, the enigma of Baphomet has mystified both scholars and the general public. Did the Knights Templar really worship a demonic idol of that name? If so, what does the word mean? What is the origin of this figure? What was the nature of the rituals that the Templars performed in secret? What were their covert beliefs? And why, if the Templars initially described their idol as a mummified severed head, is this figure now represented as a hermaphrodite human with the head of a goat? Authors Tracy R. Twyman and Alexander Rivera have dived head-first into the bottomless abyss of mystery and returned with some astounding wisdom to share. Here for the first time they reveal the genesis of these symbols, showing how they relate to the Witches’ Sabbath, traditions of Sufi Islam, alchemy, Gnosticism, cabalism, the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, and so much more. Learn why the Templars [...]

Old silent porn film about the Black Mass remixed with 1970s horror film The Pyx [NSFW]
What I have done here is to combine the audio track from the final scene of the 1973 occult psychological thriller The Pyx starring Karen Black (public domain) with a short silent French pornographic film from 1928 called Messe Noire (Black Mass). Messe Noire is titled after the Satanic ritual of the same name, a reversal of the symbolism of the Catholic mass, which is traditionally performed by an ordained Catholic priest and which typically involves the use of a naked female body as an altar, as is shown in the film. Orgies of the sort shown here (said in the film to be the “initiation” of a “neophyte” into a “Satanic cult”) were said to be practiced at real black masses, although they were a bit more dark than the sexy rites portrayed here, involving the murder of infants, the consumption of excrement, and other unfun things. The darkest thing shown here is a bit of sado-masochistic whipping, which is fitting since the literature of both the Marquis de Sade and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (the namesakes of this particular sexual fetish movement) notably featured black masses in several of their works. (For more information about this read my article [...]

Don’t Deliver Us From Evil — Another great Black Mass movie
I’ve really enjoyed the film Don’t Deliver US From Evil (Mais ne nous délivrez pas du mal) by Joel Seria from 1971. The whole thing is on YouTube right now. It features two teenage girls living in the Anjou province of France (home of Fulk the Black, who married Melusine, “the daughter of Satan”) stealing consecrated wafers from church (at 18:59), performing a Black Mass/lesbian wedding ceremony (at 54:00), reading from Les Chants de Maldoror by Comte de Lautréamont (at 51:47), and also from Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du mal as they immolate themselves in the final scene at the school talent show (at 1:36).
