    Freemasonry began in London in 1717. It was a trendy dining club for the wealthy and a philanthropic society.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The first Grand Lodge was founded in London in 1717 but this was hardly the beginning of masonry. Many English-heritage masons wanted this to be seen as true however, but in reality it was only to distance itself from masonry's Jacobite roots. It is a known fact that masonic lodges existed as far back as the 15th century and almost certainly as far back as the 14th or even 13th century. The origins however go back even further to a time before the roots had crystalised into a proper corpus. Masonry was originally esoteric rather than philanthropic although under the Grand Lodge, after 1717, it became more of a Men's Club than a repository for fraternity and occulted wisdom.

  • 4. 

    This group featured prominently in Dan Brown's popular novel "The DaVinci Code". Founded in 1118, this order eventually grew so rich and powerful it was second only to the Catholic Church.

    • The Shriners

    • Opus Dei

    • The Rosicrucians

    • The Knights Templar

    Correct Answer
    A. The Knights Templar
    Explanation
    In "The DaVinci Code", the Knights Templar were depicted as the keepers of an ancient religious secret. But another logical theory is that their knowledge of geometry and architecture allowed them to produce superior buildings, and their wealth and power grew as a result.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Cabala, Kabbalah or Qabala is associated with which of the following groups?

    • Christians

    • Greeks

    • Jews

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these
    Explanation
    I believe it began with Plato (although many differing opinions prevail) who saw in individuals characteristics being associated with their birthdates and other significant numbers associated with a person. In a much more highly developed form it is an approach to deciphering scripture through the assignment of values to numbers and letters: a way of reading betweeen the lines. Cabala is practiced mostly among esoteric Jews and also many esoteric Christians. Many magical societies have dedicated themselves at least in part, to the study and application of cabala.

    Who founded the Church of Satan on the 30th of April, 1966CE?

    • Eliphas Levi

    • Anton Szandor LaVey

    • Aleister Crowley

    • Rueben Swinburne Clymer

    Correct Answer
    A. Anton Szandor LaVey
    Explanation
    Interesting fact about LaVey: If you have an album copy of The Eagles' "Hotel California" have a look at the inside cover. Look for a balcony. On the balcony you will see a man holding a "devil" by a leash. The man holding the leash is Anton LaVey. No I'm not paranoid, it's really him although unfortunately I cannot find the story behind why and how he got there, though strangely enough the lyrics to "Hotel California" mirror in a very thinly disguised fashion of the early history of the Church of Satan and the woes of an initiate. Not to suggest that The Eagles were Satan worshippers in any way; I am a great fan BUT a great sceptic of almost all conspiracy theories. I figure if LaVey could have had a verifiable affair with Marilyn Monroe he may have been able to insinuate himself into other celebrity circles via his Magic Circle group meetings which were popular within various San Francisco society circles for a number of years.

    The Order of the Poor Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, better known as the Knights Templar were a mysterious order of warrior monks charged with protecting Christian pilgrims on the road to the Holy Land. They were also wealthy to the point of being able to refinance bankrupt kingdoms. Who was the last official Grandmaster of this enigmatic order?

    • Jaques de Molay

    • Bernard of Clairvaux

    • Hugues de Payen

    • Christain Rosencruetz

    Correct Answer
    A. Jaques de Molay
    Explanation
    Friday the 13th of October in 1307 saw the beginning of the official end for the Templars. Their property was seized, members were arrested and charges were laid (mostly false). The fact is that Philippe IV le Bel, King of France, with the aid of his Avignon puppet pope Clement V wanted the Templars' money and an end to Templar power. De Molay was nailed to the back of a door in a parody of Christ's crucifixion. He survived this torture and lived for another 7 years until he was burned at the stake in 1314. At his execution he proclaimed that he would meet both the king and the puppet pope at a higher court within a year. Both Philippe and Clement were dead less than 12 months after this proclamation.
