I wonder where the Baphomet thing came from then...

I presume the "Old Order" would go way back - I don't think the Templars we've seen in the series so far conciously invoke Juno when saying "May the Father of Understanding guide us"; maybe the phrase is just a remnant from the old days, its original meaning lost. So would Templars then have originated as a faction among humans that wanted to submit to Juno once again? How would they have even known she was alive? And somehow the Templars forgot about Juno, devolving into an order that still desired order and stability and peace, but had no knowledge of Juno and would thus attempt to exercise it themselves.
