Term:
The Priory of Sion-
A european secret society founded in 1099 - is a real organization.
In 1975 paris's Bibliotheque Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossiers Secrets, indentifying numerous members
of the Priory of Sion, including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci.
The Priory of the Sion was founded Jerusalem in 1099 by a French King named Godefroi de Bouillon,
immediately after he had conquered the city. King Godefroi was allegedly the possessor of a powerful secret - a secret that
had been in his family since the time of Christ. Fearing his secret might be lost when he died, he founded a secret brotherhood
- Prieure de Sion - Priory of the Sion - and charged them with protecting his secret by quietly passing it on from generation
to generation. During their years in Jerusalem, the Priory learned of a stash of hidden documents buried beneath the ruins
of Herod's Temple, which had been built atop the earlier ruins of Solomon's Temple. These documents, they believed, corroborated
Godefroi's powerful secret ans were so explosive in nature that the Church would stop at nothing to get them.
The Priory vowed that no matter how long it took, these documents must be recovered from the rubble
beneath the temple and protected forever, so the truth would never die. In order to retrieve the documents from within the
ruins, the Priory created a military arm - a group of nine knights call the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the temple
of Solomon. More commonly known as the Knights Templer.
Recently discovered, Da Vinci presided over the Priory Sion between 1510 and 1519 as the brotherhood's
Grand Master. It all fists perfectly with their fascination for Goddess iconology, paganism, feminine deties and contempt
for the church. The Priory has a well-documented history of reverence for the sacred feminine.
The Priory's tradition of perpetuating Goddess worship is based on belief that pwerful men in the
early Christian Church 'conned' the world by propaganding lies that devaled the female and tipped the scales in favour of
the masculine. The Priory believes that Constatine and his male successors successfylly converted the world from materiarchal
paganism patriarchal Christianity by waging a campaign of propaganda athat demonized the sacred feminine, boliterating the
Goddess from Modern religion forever.
The Church had a deceitful and violet history. Their brutal crusade to 'reeducate' the pagan and
feminine - worshipping religions spanned three centuries, employing methods as inspired as they were horrific.
The Catholic Inquisition published the book that arguably could be called the most blood soaked publication
in human history. Malleus Maleficarum - or The Witches' Hammer - indoctrinated the world to 'the dangers of freethinking women'
and instructed the clergy how to locate, torture, and destroy them. Those deemed 'witches' by the Church included all female
scholars, preistesses, gypies, mystics, nature lovers, herb gatherers, and any women 'susiciously attuned to the natrual world'.
Midwives also were killed for their herectical practice of pain of childbirth - a suffering, the Church claimed, that was
God's rightful punishment for Eve's partaking of the Apple of Knowledge, thus giving birth to the idea of original sin. During
three hundred years of witch hunts, the Church burned at the stake an astounding five million women.
The propaganda and bloodshed had worked.
Women once celebrated as an essential half of spiritual enlightenment, had been banished from the
Temples of the world. There were no female Orthodox rabbis, Catholic priests, nor Islamic clerics. The once hallowed act of
Hieros Gamos - the natural sexual union between man and woman through which each became spiritually whole - had been recast
as a shameful act. Holy men who had once required sexual union with their female counterparts to commune with God now feared
their natural sexual urges as the work of the devil, colaborating with his favourite accomplice...woman.
Not even the feminine association with the left hand-side could escape the Church's detamation. The
days of teh Goddess were over. The pendulum had swung. Mother Earth has became a Man's world and the Gods of destruction and
war were taking their toll. The male ego had spent two millennia running unchecked by it's female counterpart. The Priory
of Sion believed that it was the oliteration of the sacred feminine in Modern Life that had caused what the Hopu Native Americans
called Koyanisquatsi - 'Life out of Blanace' - an unstable situation marked by testosterone - fueled wars, a plethora of misogynistic
societies, and a growing disrespect for Mother Earth.
