An in-depth history of Rosicrucianism, its key members, and their roles in the formation and settling of America
&;
Explores Sir Francis Bacon and Dr. John Dee&;s deep influence on
England&;s colonization of America as well as the Rosicrucian
influence on the Founding Fathers and on cities such as Philadelphia and
Williamsburg
&; Explains how Bacon was the author of many
anonymous Rosicrucian texts and how he envisioned America as the
&;New Atlantis&;
&; Reveals the connections of the
Order of the Rosy Cross to the Knights of the Golden Circle and to the
Georgia Guidestones
Dr. John Dee and his polymath
protégé Sir Francis Bacon were the most influential
men in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, part of an elite group with
invisible control throughout Europe. And, as Steven Sora reveals, not
only were they key members of the Rosicrucians, they were the driving
force behind England&;s colonization of the New World and the
eventual establishment of the United States.
From Avalon in
Newfoundland to New England to Pennsylvania and Virginia, Sora shows how
Bacon and Dee&;s Rosicrucian impact is felt throughout North
America. He details Bacon&;s possible authorship of the anonymous
Rosicrucian texts of the early 1600s, his connections with Sir Walter
Raleigh&;s School of Night, and the origins of Rosicrucianism in
Bacon&;s Order of the Helmet. He explains how Bacon envisioned
America as the New Atlantis, a utopia where liberty and freedom of
learning prevailed--a key tenet of the &;Invisible College&; of
the Rosicrucian Order--and how Dee convinced the Queen that England had
rightful claims in the New World by drawing on legends of both King
Arthur and Welsh Prince Madoc voyaging West to America.
Sora
looks at Rosicrucian influences on the Founding Fathers and earliest
settlers of America, such as Washington, Franklin, and William Penn of
Pennsylvania, on the American Revolution, and on American colonies, such
as the Williamsburg colony. He details how Penn invited Rosicrucians to
Philadelphia and how the city&;s layout follows esoteric
principles, including a direct reference to Bacon&;s New Atlantis.
Moving into the 1800s and beyond, he reveals how a handful of
Rosicrucians served as the Inner Sanctum of the Knights of the Golden
Circle and how Rosicrucians are behind the Georgia Guidestones, carved
granite monoliths with messages in ancient languages.
Providing a
thorough and expansive view of Rosicrucianism, its occult origins, and
its deep imprint on America, Sora shows how this secret society still
continues to exert invisible influence on the modern world.
