The Rosicrucian Order is one of the most enigmatic and yet most open of the handful of true initiatic Orders still in existence. By retracing its mysterious origins, this book attempts to place the Rosicrucian stream of intellectual and spiritual philosophy in an historical context by outlining the most important people and events that led to the genesis of the Western branch of esoteric spirituality and ultimately led to the establishment of the Rosicrucian Order itself. Besides the meticulously researched historical facts, this richly illustrated work invites us to discover the "way" or "path" that past and present Rosicrucians have attempted, and continue to attempt, to discover every day. That path is like an inner thread leading people on to a realisation of the great natural sanctity which lies dormant within all human beings, and which has the huge potential of bringing all nations together in permanent peace. For anyone interested in the broader aspects of the Western esoteric movement, and who seek a path of discovery to their own innate spirituality, this book is essential reading.
