The
Gnostic Knight Templar lineage of the IOGT originated two thousand years ago with John the
Baptist, founder of the Johannite lineage of Gnostic Grand Masters in the West. The Grand
Masters of this gnostic line were all given the title of John, which denoted He of
Gnostic Power and Wisdom.
During
their early years, when the Templars left
When Freemasonry was gradually infiltrated with Christians and their patriarchal ideology,
much of the ancient gnostic and alchemical wisdom once possessed by the Knights Templar
was lost although the Craft continued to retain John the Baptist and John the Divine, two
ancient Grand Masters of the Johannite line, as its patron saints.
Our Knight Templar lineage was passed to Grand Prior Mark Amaru Pinkham and Grand Prioress
Andrea Mikana-Pinkham by the late International Grand Prior Sir Ian Sinclair, who was both
a distinguished member of Clan Sinclair and a ranking member of the Royal Order of
Scotland.
The goal of the IOGT Grand Priors is to resurrect the Johannite Gnostic Lineage and
Tradition which has been lost or misunderstood for hundreds of years.
