About this ebook
This scholarly work traces the mysterious Fraternity of the Rosy Cross, from its inception upon the discovery of Father Christian Rosenkreuz's perfectly preserved body in a seven-sided vault to present-day organizations in America. McIntosh includes a survey of Rosicrucianism in America, exploring the latter day survivals of Bacon's New Atlantis. Perfect for students of the Western Mystery tradition who want an introduction to Rosicrucianism, with good resources for further study.

Reviews for The Rosicrucians
8 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked the overall picture of a very complex history.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5He confuses (as most authors on this subject do)"Christian Rosenkreuz" of "Chemical Wedding" fame with the various & sundry monikers listed in the first two manifestos. Otherwise, a decent history.
