Book Store ALERT!

Barbara Frale's book The Knights Templar, The Secret History Revealed is out on the shelves. It had shown to come out in Jan 09, but Barnes and Noble has it now!
Ms Frale is famous for discovering the lost records of the Trial of the Templars. The records that show them innocent of the charges dreamed up by Philip IV and his lap dogs.

What an excellent gift to find under your tree Warrior Monk.  (Poor lap dogs, they get blamed for everything! Remember what an instigator Toto was?)


I also extend my winter greetings to friends here....

May your celebration
of this season of holidays
draw deep from the
abundant joy, fierce hopes and enduring traditions
of all our ancestors.

[Brother Gregory]

Wishing Everyone Here a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
