Ordo Lupus and the Temple Gate

I have completed reading the book: Ordo Lupus and the Temple Gate by Lazlo Ferran now and there are some striking things about it. The first thing, as I mentioned before is that Ordo Lupus does really exist as some kind of organisation although they are very secretive. They  have a video on youtube:

And their website is at: http://www.ordolupus.org

They seem to be very secretive though. The Video I only found because Lazlo Ferran has references to it but it has no description and no explanation. It is a film shot at night of what looks like possibly a wolf, which is apparently somewhere in Lyon in France. You can see traffic-lights and stuff so it must be well within the city and it's very hairy.

As for the wesbsite, there is a form to join and they ask you a few questions: I filled it out just out of curiosity but I haven't heard anything yet.


The other thing is this. I was checking on wikipedia about werewolves and found this quote:

"A notable exception to the association of Lycanthropy and the Devil, comes from a rare and lesser known account of an 80-year-old man named Thiess. In 1692, in Jurgenburg, Livonia, Thiess testified under oath that he and other werewolves were the Hounds of God.[9] He claimed they were warriors who went down into hell to do battle with witches and demons. Their efforts ensured that the Devil and his minions did not carry off the grain from local failed crops down to hell. Thiess was steadfast in his assertions, claiming that werewolves in Germany and Russia also did battle with the devil's minions in their own versions of hell, and insisted that when werewolves died, their souls were welcomed into heaven as reward for their service. Thiess was ultimately sentenced to ten lashes for Idolatry and superstitious belief."

It's remarkably similar to the core of the story of Ordo Lupus and the Temple Gate.
