The Guardian
Tim Hogan — Grand Master, Author, Initiatic Guide

Tim Hogan stands at a rare intersection: scholar and practitioner, historian and initiate, author and living guardian of traditions most believe lost.
As Grand Master of the Order of the Temple of Solomon International (O.T.S.I.), Tim carries forward a Templar lineage that traces its roots to the original Order. But his initiatic credentials extend far beyond a single tradition — he holds the 32° KCCH in the Scottish Rite, serves as a Knight Templar in the York Rite, is a Knight of the Royal Order of Scotland, an officer in the S.R.I.C.F., Past Master of East Denver Lodge #160, and District Lecturer for the Grand Lodge of Colorado.
His written work has earned recognition as the #3 ranked living esoteric Masonic author and #7 all-time. His books serve as practical keys for seekers working inside the Western mystery traditions.
As co-host of Gaia's Mysteries of the Knights Templar and Ancient Civilizations, Tim brings these traditions to wider audiences while maintaining the integrity and depth that only an insider can provide.
