Priory of Sion

low

A purported secret society claiming ancient origins and connections to the Knights Templar and the Merovingian dynasty. Modern scholarship considers its historical claims to be fabricated.

Region of Origin: France
Year Founded: 1099
Known Aliases: Prieuré de Sion
Calendar Holidays: Feast of Mary Magdalene (July 22) holds special significance. Medieval Christian feast days tied to claimed Merovingian and Templar lineage. Masonic-style initiatory seasonal ceremonies
Pantheon: Esoteric Christian: Essene spirituality, early Jewish Christianity, Cathar influence, Knights Templar theology, Freemasonry. Monotheistic but heterodox, centered on Merovingian-bloodline theology
Magic Practice: Ceremonial spiritual alchemy: initiatory degrees (Lesser and Greater Mysteries), alchemical meditation, sacred text interpretation, ancient breathing techniques, secret hand seals (mudras adapted from Eastern traditions)
Primary Gods: No polytheistic deities. Christ venerated as Merovingian sacred bloodline carrier. Mary Magdalene as the sacred feminine vessel and alleged wife of Jesus — her womb equated with the Holy Grail
Threat Assessment: low
