The Rosicrucians

Listed among secret societies is also the Rosicrucian Order. Here is a link that lists their official sites worldwide.

I was a member of the Rosicrucians for several months, recieving my lessons (mandala's or something) by mail. They do have meetings in Toronto I believe, don't know if they have a hall or whatever where I live.

A.M.O.R.C.: "In this day and age, how can the students of the school of Sodom doubt the Imperator of their sacred order or of their �Holy Rituals?� The one who is going to fall does not see the gap. The ritual of the first tenebrous initiation that the disciple Beelzebub received in the temple is the same first ritual that the students of A.M.O.R.C. perform today in their room in order to receive their first degree. Thus, in the same way that the student of the first degree from �Sodom� remains enslaved by the Guardian of the Threshold after the rite, as well Beelzebub remained enslaved by the Guardian of the Threshold. This is how he started his career as a demon..." - The Revolution of Beelzebub

Chemical wedding is actually the third book of the triad of early Rosicrucian books.
Phanes Press in Grand Rapids Michigan has published all three in recent years.

Fama was first published in 1614, Confessio in 1615 and The chemican wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz in 1616.
The first two are dealing more with society and transformation, the third with personal transformation- it's a good read.

The Phanes Press English translation actually has a good informative Introduction in it as well, I don't remember but it may tell you about more books or sources of information.

English translations of these documents can be read at the online Rosicrucian Library here:

On a side note, not all Rosicrucians are members of AMORC, and Rosicrucian groups such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Masonic Rosicrucian Society long predate AMORC.

Fiat Lvx.

The Rosicrucians have been discussed in various threads here on ATS.

Here are the results of a Google Search

Yes, and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Emerged out of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia in 1887. Dr. William Robert Woodman, Dr. William Wynn Westcott, and Samuel Liddell "MacGregor" Mathers were members of that order when the proclaimed themselves Chiefs of the HOGD, supposedly with authority from Continental sources. Woodman and Westcott were highly placed Freemasons as well. I am nof sure about Mathers.

Oh yes, and I am not sure to when the SRIA dates but it clearly predates the late nineteenth century.

The SRIA was founded in 1865.
