Yo ho ho and a powder-monkey's bum - wiv me bottle of rum...
Pirates, a.k.a., "Privateers" often flew the Jolly Roger flag that identified they were about to attack and plunder unsuspecting merchantmen.
Pirates they were but previously they had been Templar Knights, becoming murderous buccaneers and privateers after the Order was disbanded by the Pope. But then murdering wasn't all that unusual for the famed knights - much like their counterparts the Knights of Malta, formed from fleeing knights of the Tempar Order.
Har, har.
Interestingly perhaps, a sacred number of Templars is the number "7".
Which is why, undoubtedly, at the funeral service of legendary C. I. A. dirty tricks meister, Frank Wisner, a floral wreath in the shape of the number "7" was sent from his old college haunt, the University of Virginia, which according to one newspaper account signified that he had been picked out as one of the leaders of the United States. I can't recall which newspaper stated this now...as I read about this a very long time ago. But no matter this little secret is out now...
The University of Virginia's premier secret society is the Seven's Society:
Black magnolia's. How lovely. But more on that soon.
Those Templars and their love of Seven, eh.
And reprieve they received on their 700th anniversary, shouted the Guardian headline:
Back to the Steely Magnolia's... the black ones, I mean.
The Magnolia flower is a white blossom which symbolises "sweetness, beauty and love of nature" and as a heraldic device it means "femininity, nobility and perseverance." (as described here) and it's flowers are "bisexual"... and " All magnolias have a strange, knobby fruit that often looks like a cucumber."
Oh dearie me, you don't think.....
Look out ship's lad!
Maybe Aleister Crowley was a Knight Templar? He was a Freemason for sure. I postulate the question on the simple fact that the 11 degree of his O. T. O. was a homosexual degree.
Of course he was a Knight Templar. He wrote the book "Liber 777"...

The University of Virginia's premier secret society is the Seven's Society:
Quote:The Seven Society (founded 1905)[SUP][1][/SUP] is the most secretive of the University of Virginia's secret societies. Members are only revealed after their death, when a wreath of black magnolias in the shape of a "7" is placed at the gravesite,
Black magnolia's. How lovely. But more on that soon.
Quote:The group contributes financially to the University, announcing donations with letters signed only with seven astronomical symbolsin the order: Earth, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, and Venus.

Those Templars and their love of Seven, eh.
Quote:Seven hundred years after they were denounced as heretics and condemned to torture and death, the Knights Templar are calling for a public apology from the Roman Catholic Church.
And reprieve they received on their 700th anniversary, shouted the Guardian headline:

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
