Many of us have seen ads for a mysterious organization offering to teach secret knowledge to enhance our lives, but what are the Rosicrucians really about? According to Wikipedia, Rosicrucianism is the theology of a secret society of mystics, allegedly formed in late medieval Germany, holding a doctrine “built on esoteric truths of the ancient past”, which, “concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm.”[Lindgren, Carl Edwin (Prof.), The way of the Rose Cross; A Historical Perception, 1614-1620. Journal of Religion and Psychical Research, Volume18, Number 3:141-48. 1995.]Â It is symbolized by the rosy cross.
In this classic work, now in the public domain, the Christian occultist, astrologer, and mystic Max Heindel presents an elementary introduction to Rosicrucian secret teachings.
