allowed after three months of training and if they did many operations. They are held to lend oath. They owe with their maitre obedience until death. Work of the Command is only of alchemy and magic, with particular secrecies for the brothers. The Command has two houses where the members meet, one in Nuremberg, the other in Ancône; but these places are at present exchanges, there because for a few years the brothers have settled in the Indies, " in order to be able to live quiet " (1). *** a similar inspiration gave rise to Coelum reseratum chymicum (52) of J G Toeltius, where it is known as that to become Rosicrucian brotherhood, it is to know the divine magic. It is not any more Christian Rosencreutz who founded the Rosicrucian brotherhood, it is Friedrich Rose. This character had been discovered by Pierre Mormius. Already very old in 1620, it lived the border of Dauphiné. II said itself member of the Rosicrucian brotherhood d' Or that it would have founded into 1622, composed only of three members, and whose headquarters were in the Hague. II refused in Mormius, which returned then from Spain, to accept it in this Order; after long authorities, it took it only as famulus. Mormius brought what it learned in the States Généraux from the Hague and, as those refused its discoveries, it consigned them, into 1630, in its Arcana. (53) In 1747, Hermann Fictuld (54), who is given like member of the Company of Lascaris, affirms that the Command of the Rosicrucian brotherhood d' Or always exists. He gives him like emblème the Golden Fleece, which is the symbol of the philosopher's stone, and a ritual with multicoloured ribbons, crosses, parchments and signs *** In the first quarter of XVIIIe century, the Rosicrucian brotherhood used the work of isolated mystics, such as Jacob Boehme. The shoe-maker-theosophist, who is one of the most powerful geniuses metaphysics of humanity, never claimed to write new things: all that he says finds in the Writing and at the school of Nature. Also, to include/understand it, should be carried out the true religion: to imitate and follow Jesus, " the philosopher Pierre spiritual ", in its sufferings and its death, in order to live again with him. Louis-Claude of Saint Martin's day had been diverted study of the occult sciences and had been engaged in mystical sciences by Rodolphe Salzmann which had made known to him the work of Boehme Jacob. The " unknown philosopher " made of the " teutonic philosopher " his true Master, the judge of all his doctrines, the guide of his higher aspirations, like says it Jacques Matter. He spread the writings of Boehme in several countries of Europe. At the same time two writers made known Boehme in England: his/her friend Joachim Morsius, rosicrucian, whose pseudonym was Anastasius Philaretus Cosmopolita; and William Law, author of beautiful mystical works. Another disciple of Jacob Boehme, Jean George Gichtel, mystic-born, apostle of the renouncement, had the revelation of the celestial Virgin, Sophia, who confirmed it in christic poverty and made known to him the mysteries of interior and external nature. To the same phalange belong two mystical writers, one in Germany, Karl von Eckhartshausen, the other in Russia, Ivan Lopoukhine. Karl von Eckharts aulic, then critic of the bookshop, then preserving of the files from the electoral house in Munich. Like says it Doctor Marc Haven, " it wanted and known to keep away from all the secret societies, more or less mystical, which flowered at its time, while remaining, more than anybody, active member of this Community of the Light which it describes in so perfect knowledge of cause in his works " (2) Très good, its life was only one uninterrupted continuation of acts of charity; it was stripped to reduce the sufferings of the French prisoners in 1795. It wrote 79 works, of which most known are: God is the purest love (1784) and the Cloud on the Sanctuary (1819) (55) (3). Ivan Wladimirovitch Lopoukhine (1756..1816), Secretary of State of the Russian Empire (1797) then senator, left pIusieurs works on Frankly-Masonry and he is the author of Memories which were published in 1860. Of him we do not know large-thing, if not that he knew Mrs. de Krüdener and that he succeeds in softening the first persecutions directed by the government of the Tsar against Doukhobors. Its main work is a work of pure mystic: Some Features of the interior Church (Moscow 1798) whose Eckhartshausen said: " a book invaluable and full with wisdom " (4). To these great names let us add those eminent of Emmanuel Swedenborg, the " prophet of North " (1688-1772) and the large Polish mystic André Towianski (1795-1878). *** Such were the missionnés last, at least known of us, whom caused the Rosicrucian brotherhood. Then emerges under its term a
profusion of groupings; but those have Rosicrucian only the name. Among the multitude of Commands, Fraternities, Companies which are entitled Rosicrucian brotherhood, let us mention: In Germany, - Brothers of the Rosicrucian brotherhood d' Or, founded in the medium of XVIIIe century by J G Schroepfer, of Leipzig; - the Command of the Rosicrucian brotherhood Ésotérique of Doctor Franz Hartmann, who amalgamated with the Command of Templiers Orientaux. In England, - Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia - S.R.I.A. - founded in 1860 per Robert Wentworth. Lord Bulwer Lytton was Business leader of the Command and Eliphas Lévi was member during some time; - the Théosophique Company, created in 1875 per Mrs. Helene Blavatsky, directed after the death of the fondatrice (1891) by Mrs. Annie Besant. A dissenting theosophist, Rudolf Steiner, promoter of Anthroposophie, made build in Dornach (Swiss) a " temple rosicrucian ", the " Goetheanum "; - Fratres Lucis, rested by Lord Bulwer Lytton, from which left Ordo Roris and Lucis; - Hermetic Order of the Dawn Golden delicious, founded in 1887 by S. L Mathers, which included/understood five ranks whose four superiors formed the Command of the Rose Rouge and the Gold Cross; - about 1900 Aleister Crowley separated from the Dawn Golden delicious and founded Astrum Argentinum where car-initiation is practised. In America, - Fraternitas Hermetica, organized by Germans in Chicago in 1875; - the Fraternity of Luxor, established of Germany and Holland to the United States; - Hermetic Brotherhood of Light, founded in Illinois, whose certain theories were published in XIXe century in a book entitled Ghostland (With the country of the spirits). We announced Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia S.R.I.A. ~. a branch of this Company was installed in Canada, then in Pennsylvania. About 1880 it was reorganized and took the name of Societas Rosicruciana in United States S.I.R.I.U.S. - One of its eminent members was Clark Gould, deceased in 1909. The S.i.r.i.u.s. again altered became the SR.I.A. (Societas Rosicruciana in America), Its statutes indicate it like a) a church, b) an academy, c) a fraternity. Paschal Beverley Randolph, member of the S.R, I.A., founded Fraternitas Rosae Crucis, whose seat is in Quatertown (Pennsylvania). Between the years 1909-1915 Doctor H. Spencer Lewis founded in San Jose (California) the A.M.O.R.C. (Antiquus Mysticusque Ordo Rosae Crucis), whose instructions are given or in the temples of the Command or are well orally sent personally by mail. About 1909 max Heindel founded Rosicrucian Fellowship, " school of philosophy and cure " where one teaches also astrology. The first seat-director of the Company was Seattle. Later max Heindel built a temple with Oceanside, in the south of Los Angeles. Among his many works one counts a " Cosmogony of the Rosicrucian brotherhood ". One of the instructions given by the " elder Brothers " to max Heindel is " never not to require money with an any aim ". In Holland functions Lectorium Rosicrucianum, body of edition of the Septuple World Fraternity of the Rosicrucian brotherhood d' Or, directed by J van Rijckenborgh. All the varieties of occultism, alchemy, astrology, of magic, the culture of the will, the search for capacities, the study of the unknown forces of nature are an outline of the programs of these Companies. In France, Stanislas de Guaita founded in 1889 an association placed under the term of the Rosicrucian brotherhood, the Kabbalistique Command of the Rosicrucian brotherhood where the occultism was taught. After its death, the sâr Joséphin Péladan, member of the supreme Council of the Command, separated some after having founded a Command of the Rosicrucian brotherhood of the Temple and Graal or the Rosicrucian brotherhood Catholique. One professed a Catholicism there esoteric. Péladan said: " the magic, it is the art of the sublimation of the man " - in other words, an individualism directed towards the divine one. Let us mention finally a demonstration of a center very high rosicrucian, the F H T, whose mode of recruitment and center were never described. We know that this Company started to extend about 1898; and we suppose that the neophytes are put in relation to the members of the Command in a way similar to that which describes the poster rosicrucian placarded in Paris into 1622. Initiation in is very pure and primarily christique. *** We will finish this historical talk here, of the imperfection of which we realize perfectly. We still repeat that we wanted to give to the public only what any researcher can find with patience. The real origins of the Rosicrucian brotherhood, not its parchments, since, company of
