Were the Templars truly wiped out, or did they evolve into secretive orders that still influence the world today?

Few organizations have inspired as much speculation, legend, and conspiracy as the Knights Templar. Founded in the early 12th century as warrior monks sworn to protect Christian pilgrims, they quickly amassed incredible wealth, power, and influence—only to be violently suppressed in one of history’s most infamous betrayals. But did the Templars truly vanish, or did they retreat into the shadows, guarding secrets too dangerous for the world to know?

In this episode, we’ll delve into the unsolved mysteries surrounding the Templars—whispers of hidden treasure, secret rituals, lost knowledge, and their possible connection to the Holy Grail. Were they the keepers of arcane wisdom? Did they escape their destruction, evolving into secret societies that still operate today? Or was their downfall merely the result of political greed?

Join me as we uncover the enigmatic legacy of the Knights Templar and the shadows they still cast on history.

Welcome back to Cryptic Chronicles, where we unravel the threads of the strange, the esoteric, and the mind-bending concepts that challenge our perception of reality.

Today, we’re diving into a world where philosophy meets the occult, and the boundaries between fiction and reality blur. Enter Nick Land and the enigmatic Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, or CCRU—a collective that defied academia in the 1990s, birthing ideas that feel as alien as they are unsettling. At the heart of their work lies the concept of Hyperstition: the theory that ideas, myths, and fictions don’t just reflect reality—they shape it, bending time and space in the process.

In this episode, we’ll explore how the CCRU’s work connects cybernetics, capitalism, and the occult, weaving a tapestry of thought that has influenced everything from philosophy to pop culture to the darker corners of the internet.

So, prepare to step into a labyrinth of thought where reality fractures and fictions come alive. This is Nick Land, the CCRU, and the strange power of Hyperstition.

Step into the shadowed corridors of history with the latest episode of Cryptic Chronicles as we unravel the enigmatic world of Renaissance demonology. This was a time when the arcane intersected with the intellectual, as scholars, theologians, and occultists sought to catalog the infernal hierarchy and decode the mysteries of dark spirits. In this episode, we delve into the era’s most infamous grimoires, explore the influence of Renaissance magic on the perception of demons, and examine how cultural and religious shifts shaped humanity’s understanding of the supernatural. Whether you’re fascinated by the lore of infernal pacts or the philosophical debates of the time, this episode shines a light on the Renaissance’s complex dance with the demonic.

In this chilling episode of Cryptic Chronicles, I’m joined by my cohost Chillz as we dive deep into one of the most controversial theories surrounding modern history: was the tragic death of Princess Diana more than just a car accident?

We explore the idea that her untimely passing might have been orchestrated as an occult sacrifice—a ritualized event loaded with symbolism, secrecy, and hidden agendas. From the eerie location of the crash to the strange numerology and Masonic undertones that some researchers point to, we peel back the layers of conspiracy that refuse to fade with time.

Diana was more than just “the people’s princess.” She was a cultural icon, a force of compassion, and—some argue—a threat to powerful institutions. But could her death have been part of something darker, a symbolic act woven into the fabric of esoteric power struggles?

Join us as we unpack the occult theories, the political undercurrents, and the haunting coincidences surrounding one of the most shocking tragedies of the 20th century.

From dusty 19th-century newspaper clippings and mound-builder dig notes to strange museum whispers and global folklore, this episode follows the trail of “giant skeletons” said to have surfaced throughout history—and asks whether these tales point to the long shadow of the Nephilim. We sift reports of oversized femurs and megalithic burials, track the biblical threads (Anakim, Rephaim, Watchers), and separate mythmaking, mismeasurements, and hoaxes from the few cases that still refuse to die. Along the way, we map how empire, religion, and early archaeology shaped the legend—and why giants persist in our collective memory like footprints in wet stone.
