revealed, to the world, in the form of the Rosicrucian manifestos.įamous seventeenth century Rosicrucian Michael Maier described the origins of Rosicrucianism as "Egyptian, Brahmanic, derived from the Mysteries of Eleusis and Samothrace, the Magi of Persia, the Pythagoreans, and the Arabs." Several of his other works also allude to the mysterious origins of the Rosicrucians. At that point, according to AMORC internal mythology, the time was right for the existence of this body of secret knowledge to become open, i.e. The ancient Mysteries are said to have been preserved through the millennia by closed secret societies until the early years of 17th Century Europe. The Order further states that it is heir and custodian of the "Rose-Croix" of the past, thereby making it the oldest existing Traditional Fraternity and a modern-day manifestation of the 'Rosicrucian Fraternity' of old, which is believed by some to have originated in the traditions of the Ancient Egyptian Mystery schools. It operates as a fraternal order in the mystical tradition, and supports secular research and learning in the arts and humanities.ĪMORC claims an association with a " perennial philosophy", often referred to as " The Primordial Tradition". It has various lodges, chapters and other affiliated bodies throughout the globe, operating in 19 different languages. The Ancient and Mystical Order Rosæ Crucis (AMORC), also known as the Rosicrucian Order, is the largest Rosicrucian organization in the world.
