Rosicrucian Trio


Book Description

Enlightened spirits value all aspects of life over monetary wealth. But, the alchemists of old are said to have spent their lives in study of how to turn lesser metals into gold. It is often said that their manifestos are coded blueprints to the actual creation of gold. The suggestion is that they actively sought what should mean so very little to the enlightened. Is that what they were doing? If it was not their goal, what was their goal? The "Rosicrucian Trio" contains the three prominent Rosicrucian Manifestos: "Fama Fraternitatis", "Confessio Fraternitatis" and "The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz." The Introduction by Michael R. Poll suggests that these manifestos were written with a very different meaning that is far more in line with the enlightened.

Fama Fraternitatis (engl)


Book Description

The seminal document known as the Fama Fraternitatis (the Proclamation of the Fraternity) burst like a firework over Europe in the early 17th century, igniting the imagination of many with its story of the German seeker Christian Rosenkreuz, his journey through the Middle East in search of wisdom, and his creation of the esoteric Rosicrucian Fraternity. The first of three so-called Rosicrucian Manifestos, it received no adequate English translation for over three centuries. To mark the 400th anniversary of the original German publication in 1614, Christopher McIntosh and Donate Pahnke McIntosh produced an English rendering, based on careful study of printed and manuscript versions. They have now issued it in a second edition with certain amendments and corrections. This work is an essential resource for all who are drawn to Rosicrucianism, whether as a field of study or a spiritual path.




The Rosicrucian Enlightenment Revisited


Book Description

In 1995, to honor the role of Central Europe in the spiritual history of the West, the New York Open Center invited students of Rosicrucianism and the Western Mystery traditions to the Czech Republic to discuss the historical backgrounds of Rosicrucianism. Two years later a second meeting was held in Prague to celebrate the Hermetic world of Rudolf II. The result is this book: in which John Matthews addresses the relationship between the Grail and the Rose; Christopher Bamford speaks of the prehistory of the Rosicrucian reformation in the late Middle Ages--among women mystics, alchemists, Cathars, Franciscan spirituals, as well as in Luther and the great Paracelsus; Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke tells the wild tale of John Dee's mission to central Europe; Joscelyn Godwin unfolds the paradigmatic Rosicrucian life of Michael Maier; Claire Goodrick-Clarke recounts influence of Comenius; Paul Bembridge speaks of Rosicrucian Resurgence at the Court of Cromwell; Robert Powell describes the roles of Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and Rudolf II; and Christopher McIntosh speaks of the Rosicrucian Legacy. Also included are the texts of the two Rosicrucian Manifestos--the Fama and the Confessio. Illustrated.
