The first complete historical and philosophical investigation into the “invisible fraternity” of the Rosicrucians
• Contains the latest research on the origins of the Rosicrucian movement
• Presents the ties between Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and the Templars
• Written by a “perfected” Knight of the Rose Croix and the Pelican (18th degree, Ancient and Accepted Rite)
For
nearly 400 years, incredible myths and stories have been woven around
the “invisible” Brothers of the Rose Cross, the Rosicrucians. It is said
that they possessed the secret of man and God, that they could turn
lead into gold, that they governed Europe in secret, that theirs was the
true philosophy of Freemasonry, and that they could save--or
destroy--the world. In The Invisible History of the Rosicrucians,
Tobias Churton, a “perfected” Knight of the Rose Croix and the Pelican
(18th degree, Ancient and Accepted Rite), presents the first definitive
historical and philosophical view of this mysterious brotherhood.
Starting
at its beginnings in Germany in 1603, Churton unveils the truth behind
the complex story that underlies the Rosicrucian movement. He explains
its purpose, the motives of its earliest creators, and the manifestos
“accidentally” published in the 17th century that emerged at precisely
the time when modern science was emerging. He details the people who
influenced its development--including Johannes Kepler, Robert Fludd, and
Sir Francis Bacon--and the ties between the Rosicrucians, Freemasons,
and Templars. He also shows how Rosicrucianism shaped the mythology and
spiritual consciousness of both North and South America and reveals that
there are many Rosicrucian fraternities still active throughout the
world today.
