Premium Episode 22 - the Knights Templar: the Guns ‘n Roses of Secret Societies, pt. 2 - the Weird Stuff, feat. Monty

[originally published on Patreon Apr 19, 2022; show art was the incredible Anti-Gnostic Action artwork by Dakota which was also sold as t-shirts, stickers, etc.]

I'm joined by Monty again to finish our conversation on the Knights Templar. Monty wraps up the history and we get into the nutty stuff; their post-breakup solo work, as it were. We discuss gnosticism, why everyone wants to be a Templar, Freemasonry, occultic traditions, and how perhaps the entire understanding of the order was a form of fan fiction.

Then, we end the episode with some of the weirder, stranger connections to the Knights Templar in modern times.
