Publisher's Synopsis
The Brotherhood of the Rosicrucians, also known as the Rosy Cross, is a book written by Arthur Edward Waite that delves into the history and teachings of the Rosicrucian order. The Rosicrucians were a secret society that emerged in Europe during the 17th century, and their teachings were based on a combination of Christian mysticism, alchemy, and Hermeticism. In this book, Waite provides a comprehensive overview of the Rosicrucian philosophy, including their beliefs about the nature of God, the universe, and the human soul. He also explores the history of the order, tracing its origins back to ancient Egypt and discussing its influence on various figures throughout history, including Paracelsus, John Dee, and Francis Bacon.Throughout the book, Waite emphasizes the importance of spiritual transformation and the pursuit of inner knowledge, which he argues is the ultimate goal of the Rosicrucian path. He also discusses various practices and rituals that are central to the Rosicrucian tradition, including meditation, prayer, and the use of symbols and sigils.Overall, The Brotherhood of the Rosicrucians is a fascinating exploration of one of the most mysterious and influential secret societies in history, and it offers valuable insights into the esoteric teachings and spiritual practices that have captivated seekers of knowledge for centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
