Another Book of THoTH member, SolAris, has posted an article about Friday the 13th, the Templar Order, and what this coming Friday the 13th might mean.

Exactly ten days from now it will be Friday the 13th again. But this time it won't be just ANY such date, this will be the actual anniversary of the original day.

Friday, October 13, 1307 - was the date on which the Templar Order was routed in France, its members arrested and later executed. According to many researchers, that's what led to this date conjuction to be considered unlucky (or horrible.)

For two hundred years before that day, The Templar Order was the most prominent force in Europe, whose wealth and power easily rivaled and even surpassed that of the Vatican itself. But after having been rounded up in France on that day, the Order basically ceased to exist in its original form.

The "timely" conjuction this year will celebrate no less than the 699th anniversary of that original fatal date. And "699" is in fact a most significant figure in Templar lore.

Make sure you check out the rest, it's well worth a read.
