The Freemason institution  is a European secret society dating from the Middle-Ages, who  opened lodges in North America to expand its reach.  Masonry is an ancient order of builders who incorporated into its rites, over the years, teachings of the Templars, Rosicrucians and the Illuminati.

The link between the Templars and the Masons is being cultivated due to the mythical lore surrounding the Knights.


” In order to insure great popularity for the [Scottish] rite, he [Isaac Long] linked it directly with the Templars by a mysterious legend.”
-Domenico Margiotta 33°, Adriano Lemmi
