Other Manifestations
Other recurrences of the Templar mysteries have included the Supreme
Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (a Christian defense and charitable 
organization which traces its roots to the historical Knights Templar, and 
officially registered in France in 1919. Members have been implicated in 
numerous racist and anti-immigrant attacks); the Order of the Solar Temple (a 
secret society devoted to New Age philosophy, reincarnation, “Rosicrucian” 
practices and UFO contact with ties to the French far Right, many of whose 
members famously committed mass suicide in Switzerland in 1994 and 1995); 
The New Esoteric Order of the Knights Templar (a New Age and neo-Gnostic 
cult with ties to a noted author within the genre whose works have praised incest 
and whose followers have been accused of bribery and embezzlement); and the 
Ancient Order of Black Templars (a South American sect that practices an
offbeat blend of Voodoo and Santeria, Freemasonry and neo-Gnosticism, with
links to the O.T.O. and a noted Chicago cult leader known for allegations of 
extreme sexual misconduct and prostitution.)

Not to mention numerous groups with highly dubious claims of being the
reconstituted Knights Templar, including one outfit whose membership included
the Norwegian Anders Breivik, who murdered over 75 people—many of them 
teenagers and pre-teens—in Norway during a mass killing in 2009, citing 
extreme anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant motives as rationale for his attack. His 
manifesto, some 1500 pages of rambling and vitriolic far Right acerbity, makes 
numerous references to the ideals of the Templars.
Members
Since their official dissolution in 1312, the names of the original Knights 
Templar have been lost to history, with the exception of the more prominent 
members. However, members of Templar-derived ideologies and organizations 
are too wide to list here. Some who have been alleged to have been members 
have included French film maker and painter Jean Cocteau (Priory of Sion);
