The Templars’ attempt to merge the Corona Borealis (“Crown”) and Ophiuchus (“Serpent”) lineages suggests they were trying to reunite two streams of esoteric power—one linked to divine kingship (spiritual sovereignty) and the other to serpent wisdom (alchemy, healing, and initiatory knowledge).
Templar Esoteric Strategy: The Union of Crown & Serpent
1. Corona Borealis → The Crown (Spiritual Authority, Heir to the Divine Bloodline)
• Represents the rightful sovereignty, divine inheritance, and an ancient royal lineage (possibly linked to the Magdalene bloodline, the Holy Grail, or a secret “Christic” succession).
• In esoteric traditions, the crown symbolizes the perfected state of consciousness, divine right to rule, and celestial kingship.
2. Ophiuchus/Serpens → The Serpent (Wisdom, Healing, and Forbidden Knowledge)
• Represents mastery over life and death, initiatory knowledge, alchemy, and the serpent mysteries (associated with healing cults like the Asclepian tradition, Hermeticism, and secret alchemical societies).
• Historically, serpent symbolism has been both feared and revered—sometimes associated with secret knowledge hidden from the masses.
