I agree wholeheartedly with your views. My reason for raising the question is an academic one: I am doing informal research on "the feminine way" and that is why I would like some more information ...
I read this in an old post:
While the French way is a masculine way the sun's path, the Portuguese way is a feminine way, path of the moon. More spiritual. (Vitor Adrião)
Can anyone shed more light on this statement and its source?
I think there is a misunderstanding, or even some confusion, here. I am not asking anyone to participate in a survey or academic research. I merely asked members of this forum if they are aware of this view and where it might have originated.Please would you read then this very good recent post.
I believe many posters prefer some transparency when we are asked to participate in surveys and academic research.

Thank you. I have picked up on him on Facebook and will message him there.The source is what it says between brackets: Vitor Adrião
BTW he is male.
Might be because I did a google search for your name and found you are active in an academic environment.I think there is a misunderstanding, or even some confusion, here.

There is some info about this in a book called 'Rosslyn' - i forget the author's name. But there are hints to a pre-christian 'pilgrimage' or 'route of initiation' sometimes known as 'Camino de las Estrellas' .... all very intriguing...
A great subject to research - if you do a paper or anything be sure to post about it on here - there are a few closet/or not pagans who would be interested....
Hence my perhaps flippant remarks on iconography. I am not aware of any links between Rosslyn and the Templars other than the use of Templar iconography in the decoration of the Rosslyn chapel. By 1446 all that was left of the Templar structures was the memory, the growing legends and the symbolic stonework.
I've never seen a citable Templar reference to Rosslyn but I'd be chuffed as nuts if you could point me to one.
