Born in blood

Book • 1989
John J. Robinson's "Born in Blood" delves into the captivating yet contentious hypothesis linking Freemasonry's origins to the medieval Knights Templar.

The book investigates the historical and symbolic connections between the two orders, exploring secret rituals, shared symbols, and alleged hidden knowledge.

Robinson presents a narrative that suggests the Templars, after their persecution, sought refuge and continued their traditions through the establishment of Freemasonry.

This thesis has sparked debate among historians and Masonic scholars, with many questioning the factual accuracy and reliability of the evidence presented.

Despite the controversy, "Born in Blood" remains a popular and influential work within Masonic circles, fueling speculation and intrigue about the fraternity's true origins.

It invites readers to consider alternative interpretations of history and the potential for hidden legacies within fraternal organizations.
