“Rosicrucianism (meaning “Rose Cross”) refers to a family of secret societies formed in late medieval Germany, which taught esoteric practices that were concealed from the average person. The meetings of these societies were held in private and thus Rosicrucians became known as the “College of Invisibles.” Rosicrucianism was based on an amalgamation of Christian mysticism with the occult tradition. Between 1607 and 1616, two anonymous Rosicrucian manifestos were published, first in Germany and later throughout Europe. These were known as the Fama Fraternitatis R.C. (The Fame of the Brotherhood of R.C) and Confessio Fraternitatis (The Confession of the Brotherhood of R.C.). The influence of these documents, presenting a “most laudable Order” of mystic-philosopher-doctors and promoting a “Universal Reformation of Mankind,” gave rise to an enthusiasm called by its historian Dame Frances Yates the “Rosicrucian Enlightenment”.”
