Book Description
This is the first investigation of the history of Russian Freemasonry, based on the premise that the facts of the Russian Enlightenment preclude application of the interpretative framework commonly used for the history of western thought. Coverage includes the development of early Russian masonry, the formation of the Novikov circle in Moscow, the ‘programme’ of Rosicrucianism and its Russian variant and, finally, the clash between the Rosicrucians and the State.

Book Description
This is Volume IV of the selected works of Frances Yates. In the early 17th century, a new movement was proclaimed throughout Europe, announcing the universal reform of religion, science, art, and society. The main proponents of this movement were the esoteric Rosicrucians. Europe was a world in transition and Rosicrucianism was but the latest movement to capture the public imagination. Concerned with spiritual illumination and intellectual knowledge the movement continued to have widespread influence long after it was supposedly over, as can be traced in the works of Isaac Newton and Fraof modern science and medicine, The Rosicrucian Enlightenment has had a tremendous impact on our understanding of the western esoteric tradition.

Book Description
This new edition of Christopher McIntosh's classic book on the Golden and Rosy Cross order is eagerly awaited. The order stands out as one of the most fascinating and influential of the high-degree masonic and illuminist groups that mushroomed in Europe from the 18th century onward. Active mainly in the German-speaking lands, it recast the original Rosicrucian vision and gave it renewed vitality. At one point it became politically influential when the Prussian King, Frederick William II, was a member of the order. Historians have often perceived the Golden and Rosy Cross as having had a conservative, anti-Enlightenment agenda, but this study – drawing on rare German sources – shows that the matter was more complex. The members of the order practiced alchemy and operated a degree system that was later imitated by later orders such as the Golden Dawn. Like the latter, the Golden and Rosy Cross exerted a wide and enduring cultural influence. Both the alchemy of the order and its powerful ritual system are insightfully described in Christopher McIntosh's clear and compelling style.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
A sequel to 'Renaissance Man & Mason', this book primarily focuses on the Enlightenment period, particularly in continental Europe. Focusing therefore on the 1700s - 1800s, it provides the same eclectic mix of topics as in the previous book. However, the number of papers is reduced from 22 to 8, and therefore more in depth in their approach. The topics range from an in-depth look as an image in a King James Bible to an extensive exposition of the Black Eagle Rose Croix rituals of J.B. Willermoz, including the first English translation of these rites. It is hoped the book will appeal to any reader of the first in the series, as a means for private study or for use in Book Clubs, which was a major use of the first volume. It is worth noting that the first book contained 22 Chapters - the span of the Hebrew alphabet, while this contains 8, the number of perfection in Saint-Martin's system! Chapter 1: The Story Behind the Most Famous Image of King Solomon's Temple Chapter 2: The Magician, The Mystic and the Mason - the Unlikely Origin of the Scottish Rectified Rite Chapter 3: A Discourse on Numbers (Part 1 - History) Chapter 4: Enochian, or How to Speak with Angels Chapter 5: An Introduction to Martinism and its Spiritual Relationship to Freemasonry Chapter 5: The Kabbalistic Tree of Life - The Soul of the Rosicrucian Masonic Order Chapter 7: Did Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin Influence the Scottish Rectified Rite? Chapter 8: The Degrees of the Black Eagle Rose-Croix (translated into English for the first time)
