Rosicrucians

Rosicrucians were an obscure secret society that emerged in Germany during the 17^th century. Nevertheless, earlier individuals have been identified as Rosicrucians such as the Swedish Runic scholar Johannes Bureus (1568-1652) and the alleged founder of the order, John Dee.  Some have pushed the beginnings back to the 15^th century^(b).

Although there are modern ‘Rosicrucian’ groups, the origins of these bodies are rarely traceable beyond the 19^th century despite their claims to a lineage that stretches back to ancient Egypt and Atlantis. The basis for such claims is at best imaginary but generally accepted as fraudulent. The Rosicrucians have also been linked with the Holy Grail, a subject that has received greater public interest since the publication of Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code.

A 1934 extract^(c) from the Rosicrucian Digest reveals their thinking at that time.

A 2006 edition^(a) of Rosicrucian Digest gives an overview of the search for Atlantis at that point in time.

Lewis Spence, an early 20th-century atlantologist, was a member of a European Rosicrucian order.

>A recent development in Rosicrucian thinking is the idea of extraterrestrial intervention in the affairs of man from early times including our creation – “The knowledge of the Atlanteans came from another galaxy and was brought by those who became the first rulers of Atlantis. Some of these extraterrestrials returned to their home, others remained on earth to carry out a mission, all of the world’s civilizations come from this second group.” Bernard Raymond – L’empire Invisible^(d).<
