Attention: All Knights of the Realm from the Academy of Heraldic Symbology and the Knight Historian of the Hereditary Orders of Chivalry do I send Greetings and Salutations!
The Office of Knight Grand Conservator of the Hereditary Craft Guilds and Chivalric Orders is truly really an Office that I would take as serious in all manner and senses. It is indeed a sacred charge and honored obligation to be honored in such a manner and I am humbled at the trust that many have placed in me that are today the descendants of all of the Royal bloodlines of Europe. This is a trust long earned and long lived. The actions that I may make in this capacity will always come from an interest in promoting not only monarchical concepts and ideals, and other traits of Nobility, but also from my sincere interest to see unification and alliances being built between the historical bloodline families once again. As a Knight Grand Conservator I am asked by a great many to give them wise counsel in many areas and these areas include Heraldic Symbology, Genealogy, Chivalric Orders, Secret Societies, Nobility & Royalty, Gnostic Spirituality, and of course the Ancient Mysteries. Other areas also include Archaeology, Ancient Cultures, Anthropology, Ancient Geography, and Occult and Esoteric Symbology and Sacred Arts. A Knight Grand Conservator must be well endowed with Gnosis (Knowledge) in the area of Ritual Construction and Ritual Drama, which includes hundreds of Mystery Plays, and the Nobility and Royalty Investitures of Knighthood and the appointments of Knight Grand Officers as well as Knight Officers and the ceremonies of the granting of these august Offices. A Knight Grand Conservator must not only know in the extensive sense all of the Chivalric Orders, and its Officers, but also exactly how and where they are stationed in a Convocation, Preceptory, or Commandery, of a Chivalric Order. A Knight Grand Conservator must also be able to show their own hereditary history and bloodline associated with these Orders and personages of these Orders from throughout the history of said Orders. As a Knight Grand Conservator, and as a Grand Master that also holds title by bloodright of Prince, Grand Duke, Count, Marquis, and Baron, as well as a Past Knight Grand Commander, of many Hereditary Orders of the Quest, I am often consulted in the area of Nobility and Royalty Fonts of Honor, Dispensations, and Knight Officer Special Appointments. While I am certainly held by sacred trust by our families to use very wise judgment in the areas of Nobility and Royalty Recognitions it does also take a longer time in our ascertaining of their personal claims of Sovereignty so I often will take a person at their word that they are indeed of Noble birth and they show the traits of Nobility or Royalty at all times. While I will trust in the sincerity and honesty of a person making a claim of Nobility or Royalty, my own very deep personal knowledge in such areas will by itself give me the proper answers about a person or their personal motivation, and if they are really of Noble blood and seeking to better serve the rest of humanity or not. While many of Royalty in history did not concern themselves directly with the needs of their people, others of us certainly did do so and we continue to do so today. My experience both on the internet as well as in life itself, dictates to me that today many simply like to use a historical namesake or make false claims of Noble or Royal birth or bloodline when they simply are not of that historical family bloodline. This presents a threat of misrepresentation to our historical and hereditary families as well as fosters mistrust by us towards these false presentations. Some of those misrepresenting our families, bloodlines, and Orders long attached to us, are also doing a wonderful job of helping us to keep history as well as our families alive but we do want you to use honesty as your foundation and not pure fabrication please. Again, I am authorized to grant various dispensations as I see and deem fit, but I would never knowingly accept a dishonest person in their claims if I ascertained that the proper Hereditary "Signs" and bloodline connections to your personal surname simply do not exist. This sometimes takes time on my part but please also understand that I will do my historical homework and I am not a person to lie about history. As a Knight Grand Conservator of the Orders, I would by my own nature be interested in the Organizing and Organizational Structures of the Orders so I would seek to see the proper foundation of the Orders set strongly and therefore I would like to see the Orders experience great and new growth. This takes the correct kind of Knight Officers selected to aid in the growth of the Order. I am a firm believer, great members and Knights makes a great Order and not merely just one or two luminaries. To that end, you will see me very wisely building the Gnostic Orders of the Quest and Chivalry with very level headed and knowledgeable leadership. Like a Nautonier for the Priory du Sion, a Pendragon of the Old Tribes, a Knight Grand Conservator steers our course and directs us toward a destination. May I do so always with the help and assistance of the "Tried and True".
