Step into the mystery of the Knights Templar, those warrior-monks whose red-and-white banner has flown across centuries as a symbol of paradox and power. In this interactive online talk, Helena B. Scott will guide us as we explore occult alchemy within the Templar tradition – the art of uniting what seems divided: spirit and matter, heaven and earth, science and magic.
Far beyond the legends of hidden treasure and secret rites, the Templars stand at a crossroads of medieval thought, where early natural philosophy, Hermetic wisdom and Christian mysticism intertwined. Their red cross upon a white field reflects the alchemical marriage itself – red for sulphur, blood and the active, solar principle; white for salt, purity and the receptive, lunar essence.
Between them unfolds the black stage of dissolution and the gold of transformation, a process mirrored in the seeker's own inner work; the Magnum Opus. We'll trace how the Templar quest for the Temple Within parallels the alchemist's search for the Philosopher's Stone: not a metal, but a transfigured state of being.
Through story, symbol, and dialogue, we'll consider how their legacy bridges the analytical and the mystical, foreshadowing the birth of modern science from the crucible of spiritual vision.
Book today to decipher the Templar flag and uncover how the Templar path invites us to become alchemists of our own lives, transforming conflict into coherence, division into unity, and the mundane into the sacred.
