Scott Wolter Teases New TV Show and Talks about His Spiritual Journey, Involving Esoteric Masonry and "Druid Ceremonies"

8/8/2017

58 Comments

 
​Former television personality Scott F. Wolter might be a “former” TV host no more. Wolter made an appearance with Freemason and esoteric practitioner John Logan Parsons III on a podcast devoted to modern Templarism, which he linked on his Twitter account, and during the podcast he said he is in talks for a new TV series about—what else?—the Knights Templar. The podcast is a production of the so-called Templar Collegia, an apparently small esoteric organization in San Francisco that is under the jurisdiction of what it calls the Order of the Temple of Secret Initiates, a group run by Timothy W. Hogan, an alchemist and mystic who bills himself as “the grandmaster of the Knights Templar,” according to the Templar Collegia Facebook page. Wolter, who recently joined the Masons, said that he is now involved with Masonic Templarism and participates in “esoteric retreats” with Hogan to “share knowledge.”
​Wolter announced that he is working with a new television production company and is actively pitching a new series that “would reveal new information about the Knights Templar.” That information, he said, is related to the set of fictitious documents first reported in Akhenaten to the Founding Fathers that purport to be medieval records of the Templars. Those documents were also discussed in Zena Halpern’s recent book (see my review: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), where it became obvious that they were most likely fictional modern texts. Indeed, a couple of people who had firsthand experience with the characters involved told me that that hoaxer had intended the documents to be part of a novel.
 
At the end of the podcast, Wolter said that the proposed television show, and/or companion book would also establish beyond doubt that Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney visited America in 1398 and buried indescribable treasure there without leaving a single trace anywhere in the historical record: “The details of that story we now understand, and it is amazing. When we bring it out, we want to do it the right way and have people take it in and think about it, and, yeah, I’d love to have Donald Trump be the first guy to read that. But the problem is that he’s so ADD that he’d never take the time. He doesn’t read anything.” The story of Henry I Sinclair was fabricated largely in the nineteenth century as a result of eighteenth century speculation about the identity of the fictional character Zichmni in the hoax Zeno Narrative of the sixteenth century.
 
Wolter added that he participates in “Druid ceremonies” and has begun the process of joining the Grange. He said that “just loves” pagan, esoteric, and mystical ceremonies and he has embraced the Sepher Yetzirah, an early Jewish mystical text used in Kabbala. Kabbala is “just fantastic,” he said. He also praised the musician Prince as a “genius” with “true integrity beyond his talent” and declared him his favorite “modern figure.” He added that Prince “would have benefited” from joining the Templar Collegia or Freemasonry, which he said would likely have saved his life. He added that to be a “modern day Templar” is to engage in “the search for truth,” and he again suggested that Templar affiliated individuals should run for political office.
 
Wolter said that he has fully embraced Western esoterica and is actively pursuing mystical knowledge. He added that the United States is the New Jerusalem of Revelation, implying that embracing his brand of mysticism creates transcendence. Wolter said that he knows of many political leaders who support Masonic esoteric mysticism, and he said that his proposed TV show had as its purpose “to bring forth this truth and help them understand what truly happened.” If we are meant to understand the unclear pronoun them as politicians​ from the preceding thought, that sounds a lot like saying wants to use his show to try to foment a New Age religious revolution. He stated that the Masons are the source of American salvation, attributing to them freedom, liberty, and peace and suggesting that only Masonic influence can restore America. He also said, on a different topic, that the world is overpopulated and by educating women we can convince them not to have children and thus reduce the population.
 
He repeated his usual claims about the Kensington Rune Stone and its requisite attacks on all those who disagree with Wolter (“criticism for the sake of criticizing”), adding odd claims that “certain people” were “unduly influencing” the late Richard Nielsen, Wolter’s former writing partner, whom Wolter believes came to disagree with him out of “ego” and jealousy of Wolter’s TV career. He added that there is so much material about Templar secrets that he fears he will not live long enough to read it all. He claims that his embrace of mysticism and Kabbala emerged from the Kensington Rune Stone, whose magical numbers are, he believes, Kabbalistic. He now believes that the Kensington Rune Stone is an example of “Hebrew mysticism” and “Egyptian mysticism” and only by embracing these faith traditions and pagan magic can he fully experience full communion with Templars. He described fringe history as the pursuit of “truth and happiness,” and he said that developing new Templar theories produces deep satisfaction and sense of joy that he otherwise lacked. He chided those who disbelieve as being “not ready” for the ecstatic happiness of esoteric revelation. He suggested that over time everyone would gradually come to embrace this happiness.
 
This is what it always boils down to, isn’t it? It always comes down to a personal search for faith and community, not facts. I knew that it wouldn’t be possible for Wolter’s pretended objective geological approach to fake history to stay too far removed from Hermes Trismegistus and the Watchers. Now he is a sort of New Age wizard-priest, reimagining history through lens of magical ideology. Ancient astronaut theorists, New Agers, Nephilim theorists, lost civilization believers, everyone is trying to find some way to believe in something in a world that can at times feel hostile to traditional forms of faith. What all this has in common, though, is the subordination of facts to faith.

Never in U.S. history has anyone lied like Scott Wolter! Just a big lying baby! Was baby Wolter's TV show voted the best show in the history of shows? I don't think so! So who's got the biggest show now, BABY WOLTER? I can READ enough to know that the Templars were losers just like you. Yes, I can ADD! And I can SUBTRACT too!

This really is the perfect move for an egomaniac like Wolter. Tired of defending your flawed ideas against your mental superiors? Claim that you're now the beneficiary of hidden, higher-level arcane knowledge that nobody else aside from your inner circle is privy to. That way, when your ideas are met with a healthy dose of skepticism, you can dismiss your critics as "not worthy". Great marketing tool. Allows Wolter to never again argue with skeptics, for doing so would be to reveal knowledge you have sworn to keep secret. It also allows his followers a feeling of divine superiority.

Templar Grandmaster? Druid Grange? Might as well have these guys make up space titles. They would be as catchy. How about Moon Emperor, or Martian Canal Master, or knight himself and claim he is royalty. Oh, he tried to do that. Podcast is a long way from back on TV. It would be a hoot to watch him blather again on TV though, especially cluelessly with his new friend, about things he had no clue as to what they are.

How about Sir Master Mason of Stone Rocks.

And note, he cannot be a Mason master. He is not worthy. Nothing in their credo or thew 'secret rites' as he claims, would include him, or anyone like him. He reveals too much. Besides, he picks at random rock walls with a hammer.

Folks might have missed this when Wolter stupidly made it available on his blog when claiming it amounted to "peer review":

https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wolter/Alice+Kehoe.pdf (might want to get to this before Wolter takes it down)

Basically, it is Alice Beck Kehoe pleading with him in personal correspondence not to go in the direction he'd already chosen to go back in 2005. She actually implored Wolter not to "kill" the KRS with the Dan Brown nonsense, not to regard the KRS as a "land claim" and tried to steer him to a more reputable source in regard to Templars ("Laurence Gardner is 'very untrustworthy'"). Of course Wolter ignored her pleas.

So although Kehoe praised Wolter's "science" in her 2005 book on reevaluating the Kensington Rune Stone holistically, in her 2016 book, Traveling Prehistoric Seas, she leaves Wolter's name out of her chapter still justifying the KRS as probably authentic, instead referring to him as only the unnamed "geologist" in Neilsen's scanning project, who dug up what she relies more on... buckle up folks... Winchell's science. Ouch! As for Wolter, perhaps this subsequent passage of "speculative claims" gives you a taste of her current regard for him:

"Television addicts may have seen films on the so-called History Channel 2, or a series on that channel called America Unearthed, claiming medieval Knights Templar crossed to America when their order was banned by a French king. With them, say some of the writers of mostly self-published books used in the television films, the Templars carried the legendary Holy Grail, either a golden chalice or the young descendant of the marriage of Jesus of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene. Neither the chalice nor trace of Jesus' descendant have been found, nor any evidence of medieval Knights Templar in America... No contemporary record has been found of any transatlantic voyage by Henry Sinclair. Instead, the sagas and historical documents relating to Orkney in his time are full of bloody contests between Norwegian and Scottish barons, including Sinclair himself fighting cousins disputing his holding. Sailing to America would have unwisely left his earldom easy prey to those cousins."

Double-Ouch! Take that Wolter, as yet another academic turns on him. However, I admit that it is intellectually dishonest for Kehoe to still justify the KRS as authentic when she necessarily relied on Wolter to do so, and then savages him in her subsequent book.

I worked in Wolter's lab, American Petrographic Testing, from the fall of 2001 to the fall of 2003. I can discuss what was done then: Although Wolter was president of the company, most of the work was performed by others in the lab. All these individuals had bachelors degrees in geology. Wolter also has a B.S. I have a Ph.D. for what is worth. A Ph.D. does not necessarily give superior knowledge. However it does train an individual in the methods of scientific research. Wolter was basically a salesman who interacted with customers. He did little of the actual work. I am not trying to belittle him, but explain his role. Furthermore most of the work was obtained through the sister company, American Engineering Testing. APS occupied a small suite of rooms int AET's building. About half the work was counting the air bubbles in polished concrete cores. This was to make sure there was air entraining agents (detergents) in the cement. Numerous air bubbles reduce cracking and other damage by freeze-thaw to concrete. This is time consuming, but it takes little skill to do this work. You could be taught to do it in a few hours. About half the work was characterizing the rocks in gravel and sand used as the raw material for concrete. This takes a little more skill. You would need to have geologist's training through the junior year in college. Still, as they say, it is not rocket science. The remaining work was one-off projects. If sophisticated equipment was needed such as x-ray diffraction or scanning electron microscopy, it was farmed out to other labs or taken to an outside lab to observe its technician do the work.

What Wolter does now I cannot say. He needs to explain and cite his methods in detail in his own publications and oral presentations. That is proper practice. He does not do that, so you and others should demand it of him--at least beyond his arm waving. In fact I would not give him the time of day unless he does that. He has the burden-of-proof. Anyone claiming to be a scientist has the burden-of-proof. Good luck!

Now you've done it!

I looked for our Scott's articles on amengtest.com a few days ago but could not find them in the newsletter section. Maybe me not search so good. Always wondered about the relationship between the two companies.

Wolter warned us against folks like you. On May 8, 2017 he wrote:

"As yet, I’ve only had issues with one PhD geologist, but then he doesn’t work in the field, hasn’t published anything on relevant subject matter, and has a personal grudge against me so he doesn’t count."

It's not clear from context if he's talking about linguistics, anthropology, or geology when he says "the field".

For what it is worth, there are a lot of good people who work at AET and who have worked at AET.

What does it matter who I am or what credentials I have? Take Wolter's positions and for each and every assertion ask yourself: "How does he know this?" There are only two ways a scientist can know a fact: First is to observe it himself or herself from nature or experimentation. Second is to know it from some other scientist's work. In the latter case, the other work must be cited. Where are the citations in Wolter's work? This is basic research technique taught in college or even in high school. Did Wolter's professors at UMD not teach him this? If not, they should refund his tuition. How does Wolter know anything? Make him tell you.

a. I found this agate growing on a cherry tree.
b. No, that's not how things work.

L'il Jackie Parsons? Any relation to the guy who blew himself up? The sex magic guy? Probably not, he was John Whiteside Parsons. But his birthname was "Marvel" which starts with M, so it's probably true.

What jumped out at me was "he said that developing new Templar theories produces deep satisfaction and sense of joy that he otherwise lacked." If that's accurate, then he just cares about developing the theories, not about them being right. That explains the no peer review policy and the whining about academics. It's all make-believe all the time with our Scott.

I have read our sagas and old diplomas very few have seen until last years. I do not believe there was big Icelandic settlement in NA but more like traveling buyers with permission from locals to settle as buyers.
Erik the read never killed any in the saga but was accused. He and his father were boat builders while they lived up north in West fjords. For your knowledge Erik never settled in NA but two other Ari Mason and Bjorn Asbrandsson in around 950. We have lots of Annals that show the saga is right.

We have lots of things that say the sagas are also unreliable, such as Kveldulf Bjalfasson turning into a wolf and being descended from a man who's half troll. They are an indicator of broad outlines. Relying strictly on saga evidence sets you up for failure.

You talking about the same Bjorn Asbrandsson that shows up in a feud with Snorri Godi, who was active around the Christian conversion? If you are, he's several decades off from the 950s, and at best contemporary with the Greenland settlement. Try again.

The claim that Erik never killed anyone might come as a surprise to Eyjolf, Hrafn the Dueler, and the sons of Thorgest. Try again.

You're claiming that Greenland isn't part of North America now? The Inuit might disagree, and so would most geologists. More importantly, though, You're saying that his voyage wasn't directly responsible for Leif's voyage two decades later. That by itself ruins your argument. Try again.

If there were even a moderate trade network in North America, why are there no Norwegian tax receipts, as there are for the Greenland ivory trade? Try again.

In every known saga there are many proof,s ...now you can mock my English if you will. Scholars from best university´s in the world tell us the sagas are just stories told for amusement. How can small nation defend them. How can we when you say for example all rune-stones in USA are fake. It is not possible. Take Bardar saga Snæfellsás for example tells Giants and half giants and Gest as half Giant this saga lead´s you to lands behind Greenland. If you have read that what do you see. I see some thing very interesting. Remember also the sagas were written in Icelandic translated to danish and latin and from there to different language´s. Our language has very few basic words similar to like runes were used and in fact Runes were used well in to 20th century and lots of material still found in that format.

Let me try to explain by parallel.

Romulus and Remus, according to legend, founded Rome. Rome is a place that you know exists. Therefore Romulus and Remus must have founded it. Romulus and Remus, being real, therefore must have also been suckled by a wolf and must have been the literal children of the god of war.

This is what you are claiming about the sagas, that because they refer to a thing that is real, everything in them must be real. This is absurd.

To your specific claims though, an island beyond Greenland sounds like Baffin Island... which, again, has ongoing Norse colonization exploration. Archaeologists have been actively trying to look for the sites in the Vinland sagas, whether it's L'Anse-aux-Meadows or Point Rosee. There is no great academic conspiracy to hide or deny these sites.

I've just finished watching "Vikings Uncovered". It follows the work of space archaeologist Dr Sarah Parcak.as she searches for evidence of Viking settlement in North America. I have to say I was dubious. They seem to be sure that the ruins found at L'Anse aux Meadows in north Newfoundland back in the 1960's is a confirmed Viking settlement. I thought the science was not yet settled on this, but I could be wrong. However, her focus was on the south-west tip of Newfoundland, at a place called Point Rosee (between Searson Bay and Capelin Cove). The site was found by infrared processing of Satellite images, and when the group got there, they discovered strong evidence of turf walls with ash residue, a fire-cracked boulder and roasted "bog" ore. All these things together apparently point to a Viking settlement. since roasting bog ore is a method use to smelt iron, they conclued that this is evidence of Vikings, since it known (apparently) that Native American cultures did not smelt iron.

I am a bit dubious. Is smelting iron the only reason bog ore would be roasted? Does a cracked rock prove a man made fire?

I feel we all have our own opinions about what we which and that is good. but i feel if you have nothing good to say about someone then it is better to say nothing at all.

While I did enjoy watching America Unearthed, there were a lot of could be and might be moments. With that in mind I classified it as entertainment and not science. Science is backed by fact and evidence, not supposition and hypothesis.
