Summary
Professor Rick Spence is back and he's covering a lot of ground. He's a retired Professor, an author, repeat presenter of The Great Courses, and co-host of As Strange As It Seems podcast. We cover the mythos and history of the Templars, how they might relate to Freemasons and others, and try to separate fact from legend. We also learn about the Yezidi, the Druze, and Rastafarianism. We touch on Cathars, Johnians and Manicheism. I'm sure I forgot a few.
