perfect the arts. They were not only skilful architects, desirous of
consecrating their talents and goods to the construction of
material Temples, but also religious and warrior Princes …
Scottish Rite Freemasonry officially commenced at the Jesuit
Chapter of Clermont, which existed from 1758 to 1764, although it traced
three of its four degrees of Harodim at least as far back as 1688. 1245 This
Chapter of Clermont, or Mount of Clerics, produced the first statutes of
modern Knights Templar. 1246 The word Heredom is a French derivative
of Harodim. It was a term used by the Comacini builders of London,
meaning a Master of the Builders of the Temple.
According to the Roman Catholic Church, the Gaelic speaking
Celtic Scots of Scotland’s eastern Border country were Pelagian
heretics. 1247 Pelagius was a Gaelic speaking Celtic from Strathclyde in
429 CE. St Jerome called him a fat hound weighed down by Scottish
porridge. A precursor to Germany’s Luther, Pelagius preached that
demanding personal effort was the key to salvation, not a corrupt and
morally lax Church. His libertarian concept of individual free will was at
the core of all Mystery Religions that sought to make good men better by
confronting them with their own mortality. In the Scottish Borders of the
Dark Ages, the ancient doctrine compounded with Triple Goddess or
Virgin Worship, in the form of a cult of Mary. 1248 This powerful cocktail
underpinned the mysteries of the Knights Templar learned in the East.
There is an old Scottish tradition that the Knights Templar
rescued a group of Syriac Christians from the Saracens. These Syriac
Christians were disciples of the Rose Croix and claimed descent from the
Essenes. 1249 The Sepher Toldos Jeshu recorded the tradition that Hugh de
Payens learned the truth of Jesus and early Christianity from Theocletes,
Grand-Pontiff of the Johanite sect’s Order of the Temple. Theocletes
designated Hugh de Payens as his successor. 1250 We looked at the
Nazarene beliefs about Jesus in Chapter 10.
The Knights Templar called those initiated into higher Johanite
mysteries Knights of Palestine. The Nazarenes of Basra in Persia still
have a tradition that their glorious and wealthy Brothers in Malta and
Europe will eventually restore the doctrine of their Prophet Iohanan (St
John), the son of Lord Jordan, and eliminate from the hearts of humanity
every other false teaching. 1251
The Syriac Christians arrived at a mountain in Scotland called
Harodim or Heroden, between the west and north of Scotland, 60 miles
from Edinburgh. 1252
