Everyone Love Oreo Cookies!  They're an American treat, perfect dipped in milk.  But have you ever looked at the front of an Oreo cookie and noticed a lot of unusual symbols on the front?  

<h1>Free Masonic TEMPLAR Symbolism</h1>

There are at least three Masonic symbols used in the design, some clear and some more obscure or even eliminated.  Looking closely at the pattern, we will see the Patriarchal Cross (the cross of Lorainne), the Templar Cross and the Square and Compass.

<h1>The Patriarchal Cross</h1>

When looking at the pattern, our eyes are drawn immediately to the word "Oreo" in the center.  There is an triangle arrow pointing us up.  If we follow the arrow up, we see the a funny looking symbol.  It's a cross with two bars, instead of one.  This is the "Patriarchal Cross" also known as the "Cross of Lorraine".  It's origin is from the knights templar.

>The Patriarchal Cross is an upright pale, crossed by two bars.  This cross displayed in purple is the insignia of the officers of the Grand Encampment.   Although there are no references to this particular cross in the ritual, it is regarded as being representative of Archepiscopal rank in the Church for many ages; therefore it is symbolic of high rank in the Order.  In Templar correspondence, this cross is traditionally prefixed to the signature of either a Preceptor (Commander) or Past Preceptor.

The Cross of Lorraine became better known by Magnum P.I. who had a Patriarchal Cross featured prominently on his ring.

<h1>The Templar Cross</h1>

All around the edge of the cookie, we see a repeating pattern of triangle crosses.  Often mistaken for flowers, it's the Templar Cross pattern around the edge.

>The Cross Patee is formed with spreading arms, closed at the ends.  To American Templars, it is known as the Templar Cross.  This cross represents the spread of the Gospel to the four corners of the Earth.  It was the symbol of the original Knights Templar.  Traditionally, the cross arms should spread with a curve, as worn by English Templars.  In the United States it is typically depicted in the form of four equilateral triangles meeting at a single point in the center.  The officers of a Grand Commandery wear a scarlet Templar cross.  A Templar Cross in purple tincture denotes a Past Grand Commander. [Source: Enigma of Freemasonry](http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/enigma_of_freemasonry/text.htm)

*Templar Flag*

This symbol became famous from the blasphemous "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe"  The Templar Cross if clearly seen on the chest of the buff "Prince Adam" when he turns into He-Man.  By the power of Grayskull indeed.

<h1>The Square and Compass</h1>

This one is trickier to see, because it's inverted.  Looking again at the "Oreo" we see a triangle arrow pointing down.  You have to turn the cookie around to see what the down arrow is pointing at.  It's the Free Masonic Square and Compass.

The Square and Compass is the most iconic Free-Masonic symbol there is.  It's not very clear in the pattern, because of it's small size, but the original design had the Square and Compass to symbolize freemasonry.

This symbol may have been too obvious, because later designs change this to a flower pattern.  If you look at a modern Oreo cookie, this symbol has been removed.

<h1>Conclusion</h1>

Occult symbolism is everywhere.  Does this mean we shouldn't eat Oreo cookies?  Personally, I don't have a problem with it.  The point of this article is for us to recognize the symbolism we are exposed to every day without even realizing it.  We are being indoctrinated with images so they become familiar with us if we ever are selected to rise up the religious mystery schools.  Knights of the Templar may seem Christian, but the emphasis is never on Christ, but the spreading of their gospel - the gospel of lawlessness and an introduction into the occult mystery schools.

Enjoy the cookie, beware of the symbolism.

<h1>Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin</h1> 

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us. 

>No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.  If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.  1 Corinthians 3:11-13

<h1>Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny</h1>

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.  Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life.  These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
