ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on what could have been described as "exoteric" work of the organization in the late 1980s. In the fall of 1987, the "International Association of Sciences & Tradition Archedia Clubs" counted more than 350 members worldwide. The International Chivalric Order of the Solar Temple was also born in 1984. It was the fruit of the 1952 attempt to bring about the resurgence of the Order of the Temple in France. Undoubtedly this is where the 1952 Order of the Temple resurgence efforts had taken place the "solar" reference confirms this impression. The Archedia Clubs activities ceased in the summer of 1991, and a certain number of high-ranking members seem to have distanced themselves from the movement during this period. But the Solar Tradition branch still exists, and Dr Luc Jouret, who recently published a book in Canada, is pursuing his career as an international speaker under auspices of Atlanta.
