Publisher's Synopsis
""Rosicrucianism and the Golden Dawn"" is a comprehensive guide to two of the most influential mystical movements in Western esotericism. Written by Frank Wittemans, a respected authority on the subject, this book explores the origins, beliefs, and practices of the Rosicrucian Order and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The first part of the book delves into the history of Rosicrucianism, tracing its roots back to the 17th century and examining its impact on the development of modern occultism. The author provides an overview of the Rosicrucian philosophy, including its emphasis on spiritual transformation, alchemy, and the mystical union of the divine and human. The second part of the book focuses on the Golden Dawn, a secret society founded in the late 19th century that sought to revive the ancient wisdom of the Hermetic tradition. The author explores the Golden Dawn's teachings on magic, astrology, and the Kabbalah, as well as its unique system of initiation and ritual. Throughout the book, Wittemans provides a wealth of insights and practical advice for those interested in exploring these mystical traditions for themselves. Whether you are a student of esotericism or simply curious about the history and practice of Rosicrucianism and the Golden Dawn, this book is an essential resource.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: New and Authentic History of the Rosicrucians, by Frank Wittemans.
