But more than this, in their insatiable scouring of the Middle East
for manuscripts relating to their Jerusalem discoveries, the Knights
Templar may well have turned up two powerful Arabic manuscripts that
explain the extreme sexual accusations against the Order in the context of
previous ages of the world. These manuscripts are the Picatrix and the
Dread Book of the Mad Arab Al Azif. In this context mad does not
imply lunacy, but that Al Azif is a Magi from Media, in modern day
Azerbaijan.
The Picatrix is an infamous collection of Arabic astral grimoire
magic that invokes the classic planetary gods of Harran, gives detailed
information on the Lunar mansions and makes much of agape or fraternal
feasts. 1302 The book is really the notes of the Brethren of Purity at Basra
on the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. The Picatrix title was Ghayat
Al Hakim, meaning the Aim of the Wise. It seems much older than the
medieval Key of Solomon does because the text makes many references to
the Book of Buddha and the wise men of India timing their religious rites
by Lunar Mansions, which has been the case since at least one thousand
BCE. The Picatrix has a companion alchemical book called The Sages
Step that specifies training in Euclidean mathematics and natural sciences
as necessary for an alchemical aspirant. 1303 It also contains precise
instructions for the purification of gold and silver by cupellation.
The Picatrix may explain how the Knights Templar developed an
understanding of the lunar system of religion in Harran. Yet, there is a
much deeper mystery in the accusations against the Knights Templar.
The Dread Book of Al Azif, also called the Book of the Practices of the
Dead or Necronomicon, better explains this mystery. It is anmed after the
Nekromanteion, a Greek Oracle of the Dead at Thesprotia, which began
operating in about 800 BCE.
Debate continues over the existence of this manuscript and its
historical veracity. Some maintain that the Necronomicon is a hoax. Its
