Welcome to my Blog

Hey there...

Welcome to the Stoned Templar's blog!

I'm a bit of an old fart; just a good ole country boy, who's not much into high tech anymore or up to speed on social media and all the new fangled apps and what not. So, I don't know much about this blogging thingy but figured I'd give it a go. To be sure, I'll share ideas, thoughts, and opinions (got lots of those) sprinkled with my warped sense of humor. Mostly though, since we're not trompin' on a mountain, chewin' the fat around a campfire and because I'm really not much of a raconteur, I'll share stuff I'm working on. You know, secret stuff; esoteric and mystical stuff you share in hushed whispers away from prying eyes in private coz it might get you in trouble if the wrong folks found out. Lawd a mercy and bless their heart should that happen! Them old hens would be a cacklin' and it'd be all over church as fast as they could text it. Oh, I can just hear 'em now, "did you hear what they was talkin' 'bout?" Yep! But we're gonna talk about it anyway, conspiracy theories and forbidden stuff like ancient aliens, evolution, primal theology, the divine feminine, the Philosophers' Stone, alchemy, meditation, consciousness, shamanism, suppressed history, and secret societies like the Rosicrucians, Freemasons, and the Knights Templar. It's gonna be entertaining and informative, but you gotta keep it hush hush. Ready?

BTW, for those of you who are curious, the cliffs in the image at the top of the page are are called White Rocks. They're located down in Lee County in far southwest Virginia. Back in the 1700s when Daniel Boone was blazing Wilderness Road, when he saw those cliffs he knew he had about a day's march to the Cumberland Gap on the Kentucky boarder.

As a wedding present, Tiamat gifted Kingu the Table of Destinies, two emerald-green stones of immense power also known as the Emerald Tablets and as the Philosophers’ Stone. Perceiving they made him invincible, Kingu proudly wore the stones either on his crown or on his breastplate. In a war of the gods, Tiamat and Kingu were defeated. The emerald-green stones were ripped away from Kingu, came into the possession of ancient Man, and allegedly the Knights Templar as alluded to as the Holy Grail by Chrétien de Troyes in Perceval, le Conte du Graal, described by Wolfram von Eschenbach as the “lapsit exillis”, the stone of exile in Parzival, which is further elaborated as a “lapis ex coelis” (heavenly stone) by Julius Evola in The Mystery of the Grail.
