Yeah there were definite baphomet allegations too which is oddly specific if you think about it for the Era.

Jesus was also an Essene, and a Rabbi, and my understanding is that to be an Essene Rabbi you had to be married back then. So why are we taught otherwise?? Idk.

Look up iirc Sinclair Chapel for an interesting look at some of the odd carvings on a church level. Good talking to you too and you're welcome!
