In the popular imagination, the Holy Grail - part of the legendary
romance of King Arthur - belongs to the realm of myth. The Knights
Templar also have a legendary, enigmatic aspect. Despite the
immense volume of historical research available, plausible
explanations to the 'mystery' at the core of their practices have
yet to be revealed. By studying these two themes side-by-side and
showing their inner relationship, Veltman reveals valuable new
perspectives. On the one hand he demonstrates that the 'poetic
imagination' of the Grail mystery has its origin in concrete
historical events; and on the other hand, that the true history of
the Knights Templar is, essentially, esoteric. Combining historical
research with insights gained from the work of Rudolf Steiner,
Veltman presents an impressive survey of the subject, beginning
with the pre-Christian Mysteries and ending with a vision of
Michaelic Christianity. He analyses the significance of the holy
city of Jerusalem, the Temple of Solomon, the Temple Legend, the
Grail Temple, the Rosicrucians, the Templars' gold, and the fraught
question of evil. In addition, he sketches the continuation or
metamorphosis of the Grail and Temple impulses into the future,
including the critical 'balancing' role of Europe between East and
West. To become effective, this important European task - which, he
says, is continually being thwarted - must be properly understood
within the realm of human consciousness.
