Friday the 13th, October, 1307 - a dreadful day. Especially if you happened to be a Templar knight. For on that dreadful day, just as the Sun was rising, King Philip IVâ??s seneschals descended upon all of the orderâ??s French holdings, arresting the members and seizing their property. The king had owed the order a lot of money, and he had hoped to get his hands on the rumored Templar treasure that had made them fabulously rich.

Under extreme physical duress, most of them confessed. In fact, many of their confessions were remarkably similar in detail.

Also, how do YOU guys pronounce 'Baphomet'? I used to pronounce it phonetically, 'Bahf-oh-met', but then a friend, whose opinion I respect and whom I find quite well-learned, told me it was pronounced "BAHF-'may", with the central 'o' shortened almost infinitely and the final syllable read the way it would be in French.
