This book would not have been conceived without the articles con-

tributed for publication in The Temple magazine, so a special thanks goes

to all the contributors!

My biggest thanks go to my son Solomon for completing the picture.

In addition, thank you to Lynne Adams, Paul Broadhurst, Gabrielle,

Serena, Stephen Andrews, and Karen Ralls for continuous support and

inspiration.

To Mark McGiveron, thank you for all of those long Holy Grail/

Joseph of Ariamathea/Templar conversations. To Natasha (at Chalice

Well), Jamie (at Gothic Image), and Karsten (at Watkins Books), thanks

for being the first bookshops that had faith in The Temple—without you

this book may never have been published.

I’m also indebted to the staff at Wells Library, the Taunton Record

Office, The British Library, and British Museum for their expertise and

help in locating rare texts. Thanks to Tony and the rest of the staff at PPL.

To all the Church Wardens and key holders of the various Templar

sites who have showed me around and unlocked locked doors, a similar

nod of appreciation!

To the Templar spirit, Henry de Blois, and John Arthur, thank you

for being beacons past and present. I have a lot of gratitude for everyone

that I have met on this fabulous journey, far too many to be mentioned

individually by name here. Thanks for all those illuminating discussions;

all being well we will meet again soon.

Thanks to Umberto Eco, for his insight, wit, and luminous writings.

And last, but not least, I am also very grateful to everybody at Career

Press and New Page Books for both approaching me to publish this com-

pilation, and for the guidance and support that have made it what it is!
