Happy Valentine's Day

A Very Special Valentine to each of our Cyber Templar Friends comes to you in the form of holding you in the Light.
Love is the glue of the Universe... even when it feels as though the world is falling apart in order to fall back together again, love conqures all!
Even though historic Templars were a physical organization with established traditions, the Templar Fellowship spends much of its energy in spiritual persuits.
Several of our most devoted members have expressed the desire to pool our ‘good vibes’ into an on-going Meditation Group. But the challenge has been to find a way to coordinate time, place and culture. Schedules, and family’s needs within our daily lives seem to take precedence over preferences and inner yearnings.

As the TFA September 19th, 2009 gathering approaches, we extend our friendship to Virtual Templars around the world. Although your physical presence may not be possible, we hope to stay connected with each of you via the Virtual Templar Way.
In the beginning a Templar Knight of the Austrian Order and a US Knight Templar began to converse and found that they had more in common than they had differences. Being Knights at heart they began to work together with the dream of beginning a new “FELLOWSHIP” of Templars....

On this date in 1312 (697 years ago) the Templar Order was suppressed by Apostolic Decree in a Papal Bull issued March 22, 1312. The TFA remembers the date of the official "suppression" of our historic Templar brethren.
