24. The Solar Temple

Renewed Order of the Temple

Renewed Order of the Temple (ORT)   The Gladio network was also connected with the neo-Templar UFO cult called the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS), created by former members of AMORC, most notorious for being associated with a series of murders and mass suicides in 1994 and 1995 that claimed several dozen lives in France, Switzerland and Canada. All but two of the purported Grand Masters of the Priory of Sion are also found on lists of alleged “Imperators” and “distinguished members” of AMORC, and most of the names found in the fictitious List of Priory of Sion Grand Masters originate from a document compiled by Raymond Bernard, a friend of Pierre Plantard, and Grand Master of AMORC and the organization’s leading figure in France in the 1970s.[1] French journalist Serge Hutin reported links between AMORC, the CIA, P2, the Corsican Mafia, the SAC (Service d’Action Civique), France’s Civic Action Service, and various other knightly orders, and their involvement in international terrorism. Hutin cited a report by his former partner Marie-Rose Baleron de Brauwer, AMORC’s representative for the Puyde-Dôme region, that had been able to show that the knights of the SAC, a parallel French police force, had links with Bernard and right-wing political activist Julien Origas, of whom some reports have claimed he was a Nazi SS member during WWII.[2]  

The Solar Temple evolved from the Templar Order of Fabré-Palaprat, based on the Charter of Larmenius, whose “regency” passed to Josephin Péladan, who founded with Papus the Kabbalistic Order of the Rose-Cross (OKR+C).[3] In 1932, the Order of the Temple was legally incorporated by the Belgian group under the name of the Sovereign and Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (OSMTJ), which was linked with Origas’ Renewed Order of the Temple (ORT).[4] In 1948, Origas appeared before the Military Court in Rennes, accused of active collaboration with Lieutenant Georg Roeder of the Nazi SS, chief of the SD in Brest and was jailed for four years. Origas became a member of numerous neo-Templar and other orders, including AMORC, where he had the degree of Chevalier de la Rose+Croix, and the Ordre Martiniste Traditionnel (OMT), whose teachings are those which its officers obtained when they were initiated into the Ordre Martiniste et Synarchique (OMS) in the 1930s by Victor Blanchard, the Grand Master of the Brotherhood Polaires.[5]

Bernard was initiated into Chaboseau’s Traditional Martinist Order (OMT) by J. Duane Freeman, in San Jose in 1959.[6] In 1939, the Ordre Martiniste et Synarchique (OSM), founded by Victor Blanchard, Grand Master of the Polaires Brotherhood, was replaced at the fourth convention of the FUDOSI by the OMT. Many members, including such high dignitaries as George Lagrèze, left the OMS and went over to the OMT. Two other high dignitaries of the federation, Imperators Emille Dantinne, another Polaires member, and Ralph Maxwell Lewis, the son of AMORC founder Harvey Spencer Lewis, also left Blanchard’s OMS. Ralph’s father had received a charter from Blanchard for the OMS in the United States. The first Martinist temple which was established in California by Lewis was called “Louis Claude de Saint-Martin.” In 1939, his son Ralph Maxwell Lewis was appointed Sovereign delegate and Regional Grand Master of the OMT by Lagrèze for California and the United States. This way the Regional Supreme Council of the United States founded. The council consisted of 5 members: R.M. Lewis, Cecil A. Poole, Orlando T. Perrotta, James R. Whitcomb and J. Duane Freeman.[7] Ralph M. Lewis then conferred upon Bernard the responsibility of developing the Order in France.[8]  

Due to the FUDOSI Supreme Council’s refusal to confirm Jean Chaboseau as Grand Master in 1948, many members left the OMT. Among them was the Grand Secretary of the order, Jules Boucher (1902 – 1955), who had been initiated by Ambelain in 1942. In 1922, Boucher started his occult career with Jean-Julliet Champagne, who took Boucher and Eugene Canseliet, a former member of the Brotherhood of the Polaires, as his student, forming a group known as the Brotherhood of Heliopolis. According to Paul Le Cour, who inspired Pierre Plantard in the formulation of the Priory of Sion myth, Canseliet was also the true author of Fulcanelli’s The Mystery of the Cathedrals, which claimed to explore the alchemical symbolism of Templar architecture.[9] Another group Boucher was involved with, was a group called Grande Lunaire. According to Ambelain the group was also involved in black magic.[10] Besides Boucher, members included Champagne and Rene Schwaller de Lubicz, founder of Les Veilleurs, to which belonged Rudolf Hess and Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, founder of the Pan-European Union with Otto von Habsburg.[11]  

Bernard integrated the French lineage in the OMT and was initiated in Toulouse by Marcel Laperruque, a person close to Robert Ambelain.[12] R.M. Lewis appointed Bernard as administrator of AMORC in 1956 and then Grand Master for the French speaking countries, a position he held until 1977. Bernard created the Interior Order of AMORC based on the OMT, which was accepted by Papus’ son Philippe Encausse who, in 1958, was able to bring together the various Martinist orders including Ambelain’s Order of the Élus-Cohens.[13] Bernard was elected to the Supreme Council of AMORC and became Supreme Legate in 1967.[14]

Arginy Renaissance

Castle of Arginy, once owned by Guillaume de Beaujeu (c. 1230 – 1291), the 21st Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and purported site of the Templar treasure.

The Solar Temple was officially sponsored by Prince Rainier III of Monaco, with his wife Princess Grace becoming a member.

Canseliet was also involved in the founding of the Ordre Souverain du Temple Solaire (OSTS), which was closely related to the Renewed Order of the Temple (ORT), founded by Raymond Bernard in 1968, after he embraced Origas’ idea of creating the order.[15] The OSTS was founded at the chateau of Arginy in the Beaujolais region of France in 1952. The castle was once owned by Guillaume de Beaujeu (c. 1230 – 1291), the 21st Grand Master of the Knights Templar, who died at the siege of Acre in 1291, and was the last Grand Master to preside in Palestine. Beaujeu was a central figure in the foundation legends of Freemasonry. During his last days, Jacques de Molay supposedly transmitted the treasure of the Templars to Beaujeu’s nephew, whom he named as his successor as Grand Master of the order. After Beaujeu’s death, the seat of the order fell to Pierre d’Aumont, one of the dispersed Templars who had taken refuge in Scotland.[16] The castle has apparently continued to attract much interest because of its Templar connections and occult activity.[17]  

OSTS’ origins date back to the so called “Arginy Renaissance,” a mystical experience of June 12, 1952, when French esoteric author Jacques Breyer (1922 – 1996) and two companions were contacted by secret “Masters of the Temple” and asked to establish a “Templar Renaissance.” Breyer identified Arginy as the original location where Hughes de Payens and nine original knights founded the Order of the Temple in 1118.[18] According to Philip Coppens, in the same year that Puharich made contact with the Council of Nine at his Round Table Foundation, Breyer began to communicate with The Nine at Arginy, identifying them with the souls of the nine founding knights of the Knights Templar.[19] Likewise, within the Brotherhood Polaires, “The Nine” referred to the nine hidden masters of Agartha, the “Rosicrucian Initiatory Centre of Mysterious Asia” who directed the Fate of humanity from a secret monastery somewhere in the Himalayas.[20]  

The concept of the “Nine Unknown Men” was further popularized by the synarchist authors Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier. The Nine Unknown was a 1923 novel by Talbot Mundy, about a secret society founded by the Buddhist Emperor Ashoka of India around 270 BC, were entrusted with guarding nine books of secret knowledge that would be dangerous to humanity if it fell into the wrong hands. In The Morning of the Magicians, Pauwels and Bergier claimed that the Nine Unknown were real and that Pope Silvester II had met them and that nineteenth-century French occult writer Louis Jacolliot confirmed their existence. The Nine Unknown were also the final dedicatees mentioned in the dedication of the first edition of Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible in 1969.   After these experiences, Breyer came into contact with Maxime de Roquemaure, who claimed to be a descendant of a branch of the medieval Order of the Temple which had survived through the centuries in Ethiopia. Breyer and de Roquemaure subsequently founded the Sovereign Order of the Solar Temple (OSTS) in 1966, which was incorporated under Monaco law in 1967. Monaco was selected because the Grand Master hand-picked by Breyer for the OSTS was Jean-Louis Marsan (1923 – 1982), a Monaco socialite and a friend of P2 member Prince Rainier III (1923 – 2005), the husband of actress Grace Kelly.[21]

Also involved in the founding of the OSTS was Constantin Melnik, who was the head of the SDECE.[22] Melnik, who was trained by the RAND Corporation, conceived of La Main Rouge (“the Red Hand”), a group of state-sponsored terrorists who operated in the Algerian War. Melnik, who had been in exile in the US, was called to return to activity by François de Grossouvre, who headed Arc-en-ciel, the regional branch of Gladio of Lyon. In 1981, de Grossouvre became the adviser of former Cagoule member, President Francois Mitterrand, for secret operations. Mitterrand was a key advocate of a United Europe. Together with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl he fathered the Maastricht Treaty, which was signed in 1992, and transformed the EEC into the EU.

Both OSTS and ORT recognized the “Arginy Renaissance” as genuine and kept in contact with Breyer. Bernard supposedly met a mysterious White Cardinal, representative of the True Masters of the Earth, who ordered him to revive the Order of the Templars,, and prepare the world for the coming of the Age of Aquarius. The ORT was and integrated into AMORC and Bernard became Grand Master of both orders. Some time later, in the crypt of Chartres Cathedral, Bernard solemnly knighted Origas and gave him the title of title of bailiff, and crowned him King of Jerusalem.[23] Bernard had asked Origas to replace him as president in 1971, though he continued to report to Bernard as Secret Grand Master.[24] In a letter, Origas wrote:  

I am the central point of all the forces, of all the light that descends from the Hierarchy and the Great Brotherhood of the White Lodges, who directs our Order through Agartha and the King of the World [Origas also called himself King of the World]… The Grand Master must be obeyed, not only because of his wisdom, but because he represents God he represents God, because he is the living sign of Christ in the Order…[25]  

Origas also reconstructed the ORT’s teachings based on the I AM Religious Activity, founded by Guy Ballard in the 1930s, after his meeting with the Ascended Master Saint Germain on Mount Shasta. The Comte de Saint-Germain is featured largely as an Ascended Master in AMORC, as well as several other occult societies influenced by it.[26] AMORC Rosicrucian founder Harvey Spencer Lewis also published Lemuria: The Lost Continent of the Pacific (1931), which in addition to a frontispiece depicting Mount Shasta included detailed information linking the Mount Shasta to the lost continent of Lemuria and the survival of Masters supposedly still living there. Origas first received these teachings from a splinter group led in southern France by Angela von Bast. Angela, who was the leader of the French Saint Germain Foundation, claimed to be a reincarnation of Socrates and Elizabeth I of England, and the mother of the Comte Saint-Germain and to have direct contact with Agartha.[27] Angela’s teachings included racist, anti-communist and anti-Semitic rhetoric, including the claim that Blacks and Jews had too low a vibration.[28]‍ ‍

Luciferian International

Several journalists noticed Origas relations with neo-Nazi and White supremacist groups.[29] Both Angela and Origas made contact with the neo-Nazi L’Ordre Vert (“Green Order”) in Brussels, and Origas also claimed that Angela had been sent by the Thule Society.[30] Andre Wautier, a French author and Theosophist, claimed that in 1945 members of the Thule Society and the Brotherhood Polaires founded a new Order, the Green Order, whose adherents honor Lucifer, Mithra, Kali, and Lilith.[31] According to Marcel Roggemans, the L’Ordre Vert Celtique (“Celtic Green Order) was founded in 1970 by René Lixon under the pseudonym Lug, which is Celtic for “fire.” The order also makes itself known under the name L’Eglise Européenne de Mithras (“European Church of Mithras”).[32]   In 1975 in Brussels, in what Origas regarded as the beginning of a new era, there was a gathering of numerous extreme right-wing Orders, who had international connections with Lopez Rega.[33] They all made a pact with Lug to prepare the advent of a “Luciferian International,” when the Green Order made the following announcement:    

The time has come for a SOLID UNION of all our societies, it is high time that the sons and daughters of Hyperborea raise the flame of the new times and of the divine superman, heir of the Grail and of the boreal crown. From Shambhala, the holy city of Agartha, comes this polar message: UNITE![34]    

On May 14, 1975, the representatives of the various Luciferian associations were present in Brussels, at the temple of the Green Order, in order to seal the charter of unification of the Legions of Mithras. A charter proclaimed the unification of the most important Luciferian societies: the Green Order, the Grand Lodge of the Dragon, the Celtic Brotherhood, the Aryan Order, the Sons of Fire, and the Luzifer Gesellschaft (“Lucifer Society”) based in Cologne. According to the Green Order:  

It is indispensable to unite all the polar and solar forces before the Age of Aquarius, and the new man—the superman—must be ready to take the destiny of humanity into his own hands, because when the most critical moment of the Black Age comes, there will be only one people left to carry the flame: US. An Aryan order of chivalry must be created, and an elite of superiors must be formed who hold the secrets possessed by our ancestors in the Polar Empire.[35]      

Origas was well known in far-right circles in the 1970s and also had connections with neo-fascist movements in Italy. In addition to the Green Order, Origas was also a member the Internationale Luciferienne (“Luciferian International”), and the Centre Templier d’Etudes Historique, Philosophiques et Esoteriques founded by Alfred Zappelli, the Grand Master of the Swiss Branch of the OSMTJ.[36] The OSMTJ was dominated by members of the SAC, and even after the OSMTJ’s official dissolution in 1973, SAC members had kept alive the order’s activities, which included an international traffic of weapons in connection with P2 headed by Licio Gelli.[37] Raids carried out by the Italian authorities at Gelli’s villa in Arezzo discovered a file on the OSMTJ. Many “fringe” and “irregular” Masons belonged to an Italian Grand Priory of the OSMTJ, which had as bailli (local leader) P2 member Pasquale Gugliotta and also comprised of, among others, Pietro Muscolo of Genoa and Luigi Savona of Turin, both leaders of “clandestine” Masonic fraternities and, according to the Parliamentary Commission, Masonic allies of Gelli.[38]

Luc Jouret

Luc Jouret

In 1981, Origas became acquainted with Luc Jouret, a Belgian ex-military official with ties to Gladio.[39] Jouret was a friend another Italian fascist linked to Gladio, Claudio Mutti.[40] Mutti was a follower of Franco Freda, one of the leading neo-Nazi and neo-Fascist intellectuals of the post-war Italian far-right. Freda belonged to the MSI, but began to criticize its leadership, taking on a “Nazi-Maoist” inclination. In 1963, Freda founded the Group of Ar, based on the philosophy of Julius Evola, and managed a far-right library. Freda also described himself as an admirer of Hitler. After contacts with Pino Rauti, he participated in the activities of Ordine Nuovo, and was convicted but later acquitted for lack of evidence for involvement in the Piazza Fontana bombing.  

From a very young age, Mutti joined the MSI but was expelled, and then joined GRECE member Jean-Francois Thiriart’s Young Europe. In 1975, after turning towards to Libyan socialism, he published Gaddafi Templare di Allah (“Gaddafi Templar of Allah”). Mutti, converted to Islam through the influence of Guénon, whom he discovered through his study of Evola. Mutti had taught Romanian and Hungarian at the University of Bologna, before losing that job when he had to serve a prison term for his terrorist activities. Mutti founded the publishing house Edizioni all’Insegna del Veltro, which published the works of Evola, Johann von Leers, Savitri Devi and Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson. When he converted to Islam, Mutti took the name of Omar Amin, in honor of Johann von Leers, who had taken the same name before him on his own conversion.[41]‍ ‍

Joseph di Mambro

Joseph di Mambro

Thiriart, together with Jouret and Joseph di Mambro—a member of AMORC and associate of Jacques Breyer—had helped organize a split in the Communist Party of Belgium (PCB) in the 1970s, creating the Parti Communautaire Européen, a “Nazi-Maoist” party which succeeded to Jeune Europe. The group was allegedly controlled by the SDRA-8, Belgium’s branch of Gladio.[42] Jouret with Di Mambro founded the Solar Temple in 1984 in Geneva as l’Ordre International Chevaleresque de Tradition Solaire (OICTS) and later renamed Ordre du Temple Solaire (OTS). According to the literature of the OTS, the central authority was the Synarchy of the Temple, whose membership was secret. Its top 33 members were known as the Elder Brothers of the Rosy Cross, and were headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland. The Lodges had altars, rituals and costumes. During ceremonies, members wore Crusader-type robes and were to hold in awe a sword, which Di Mambro said was an authentic Templar artifact, given to him a thousand years ago in a previous life. Jouret claimed to be a reincarnation of St Bernard of Clairvaux, founder of the Templars.  

As reported in the Belgian cult report of April 28, 1997, according to Roger Facon, a former police officer:    

We are dealing here with an extremely dangerous ideology: it finds its expression in secrets and rituals and maintains that the Grand Master is always right. The Grand Master recognizes that his actions are prompted by orders that are clandestinely taught by a secret hierarchy called the “Supreme Council,” “Agartha,” or “les Compagnons de Maha.” This terminology is also found in the Order of the Solar Temple.[43]    

By their own admission, the aims of the Solar Temple included establishing “correct notions of authority and power in the world,” preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus as a solar god-king and furthering a unification of all Christian churches and Islam.[44] In common with the New Age movement, the OTS held that the earth was on the cusp between the Age of Pisces and the dawning Age of Aquarius, which would herald an apocalypse, in which the Earth would be destroyed by fire. In order to survive the coming cataclysm, the group’s aim was to produce a communion of souls through the practice of sex magic.[45] The group reportedly drew some inspiration for its teachings from Aleister Crowley’s OTO and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.[46] George D. Chryssides of the University of Wolverhampton, cited the influence of Alice Bailey’s ideas on the Order of the Solar Temple and related UFO organizations.[47] Breyer drew substantially on Bailey’s ideas, and Di Mambro himself used Bailey’s Great Invocation to commence OTS ceremonies.[48] According to the Solar Temple, the star Sirius was the home of a number of Ascended Masters, also known as the Great White Brotherhood, who came to earth and inhabited Agartha.[49] According to AMORC the Great White Brotherhood is the “school or fraternity” of the Great White Lodge.[50] Aleister Crowley identified the Great White Brotherhood with the A∴A∴, his magical secret society.[51] As well, the Solar Temple stressed the importance of the Great Pyramid, which they claimed would be the focus for some momentous event in the coming years.[52]

As noted by Massimo Introvigne, “In the 1980s, Geneva and Montreal were perhaps the two cities with the greatest number of esoteric groups in the world.”[53] Between 1994 and 1997, a number of Solar Temple members were murdered in ritualistic fashion or committed mass suicide. The reason of the suicide of the members of the Solar Temple was ostensibly to return “home” to the Sirius system. Documents posted to the media by the leaders of the cult stated: “The Great White Lodge of Sirius has decreed the Recall of the last authentic Bearers of an Ancestral Wisdom.”[54] The deaths occurred in Cheiry and Salvan, in western Switzerland; Vercors, France; and Morin Heights and Saint-Casimir, north of Montreal. The Solar Temple in Canada was specifically linked with the electricity corporation Hydro-Québec. French-Canadian journalist Pierre Tourangeau investigated the sect for two years. A few days after the mass murder, he reported that the sect was financed by the proceeds of gun-running to Europe and South America. Simultaneously, Radio Canada announced that the group earned hundreds of millions of dollars laundering the profits through the infamous CIA-linked bank, BCCI. Montreal’s La Presse observed: “each new piece of information only thickens the mystery.”[55]   The Solar Temple was officially sponsored by Prince Rainier III of Monaco, with his wife Princess Grace Kelly becoming a member.[56] Kelly, who apparently well-known to her peers for a voracious sexual appetite, was appointed a High Priestess by Di Mambro.[57] But Kelly died in a car accident in 1982, after she became disillusioned with Di Mambro and threatened to expose him, according to Di Mambro’s former driver. Rumors about the cause of her death persist to this day. Two weeks before Kelly died, Italian newspapers published a list of members of the P2 Lodge, which included Prince Rainier as its chairman. The Italian government collapsed soon afterwards and some of its leaders were sent to jail. Prince Rainier was quoted as saying: “When the press makes up a story about the Mafia wanting to kill Grace, though I can’t for a moment see why the Mafia would want to kill her…”[58]
