Sure, I saw the wiki article too.  Have any of you ever read it, though?

No, have studied many versions of kabala and it sounds like another with some other stuff like Templar conspiracy thrown in.

Rather go bowling  ;D

Somebody recommended this book to me, and I ordered a cheap copy via Amazon.  When it arrives in the mail, I'll start reading it.

Please, Dude, follow whatever instructions the book gives. The book is in your hands, Dude. And report back to us as soon as it's done. 8)

As a former kabbalist, I usually avoid anything Kabala-related in fiction. Also, one of my ancestors was in charge of the first Crusades, therefore helping to create the Knights Templar and was their commanding officer. Also I've had a Mason tell me I'm a Rosicrucian with secret knowledge. (Doesn't help I have a red rose tattoo, unrelated to them.)

While it does sound like an interesting read, conspiracy theories are laughable at best. :) I might read it one day. Sounds like fun to read to be honest.

I like these sort of things because they are so wrong.

Or maybe that's what we reptilian Templar Rosicrucians want you to think!
