The Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis

(https://www.rosicrucian.org/history)

The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC is known internationally by its traditional and authentic title, the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, from which is derived the acronym “AMORC.” The Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis is the Latin form of the organization’s name, which literally translates into the Ancient Mystical Order of the Rose Cross. There is no religious connotation associated with this symbol; the Rose Cross symbol predates Christianity. The cross symbolically represents the human body and the rose represents the individual’s unfolding consciousness.

As the Renaissance burst upon Europe with a flash of new interest in the arts and sciences, a mysterious publication printed in 17th-century Germany and called the Fama Fraternitatis heralded a renewed interest in Rosicrucianism throughout Europe. The Fama introduces Christian Rosenkreuz, a mythical character who was said to have traveled to centers of learning in the Near East and who personified the revived interest in esoteric studies and mystical learning.

As part of this great renewal, the renowned Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626), English philosopher, essayist, and statesman, directed the Rosicrucian Order and its activities both in England and on the continent.

Foreword

Below is a bird’s-eye view of the Ancient Pagan roots of Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare Myth and Literature and their fusion with Christian imagery through the Sacred Triangle of Pagan Iceland.

This concept is not addressed in the present note, but it refers to a Pythagorean Triangle which marks the setting of Saga of Burn’t Njáll within a larger circular frame. According to Icelandic Saga scholar Einar Pálsson, the frame represented a projection on the earth below of the Zodiac above.

Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241) gave this Pagan/Christian imagery literary form in the 13^th century which served Francis Bacon as foundation for the imagery of The Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis.

Snorri Sturluson and Francis Bacon gave essential unity to Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare Myth and Literature of the kind envisaged by Plato in ION where he likened a succession of inspired poets – Brotherhood – to magnetic rings which cling together in a chain originating from ONE magnet.

Comments are kept to a minimum. However, in Item VI Mozart’s Magic flute is noted. The opera is said to reflect Masonic myth but it mirrors aspects of Ancient Creation Myth, whose themes are reflected in Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare Literature.

The same is true of Verdi’s Aida, as suggested by the mention of Ritorna Vincitur – Return Victorious – in Item VII. A First folio poem on William Shakespeare speaks of his “death” as “but an exit of mortalitie” and prelude to “a Re-entrance to a Plaudite”.

Likewise, in Uppsala Edda a listing of “law-speakers” in Iceland ends on: “Snorri Sturluson í annat sinn,” or “a second time”, as in The Second Coming.

Loose translation: Gizurr came to Reykjaholt the night after Mauritius Mass. They broke open the storehouse where Snorri slept. But he jumped up and out of the storehouse to the small houses next to the storehouse. There he found Arnbjörn priest and talked to him. They agreed that Snorri should go into the cellar which was under the ceiling in the houses. Gizurr and his men began searching for Snorri around the houses. Gizurr then found Arnbjörn priest and asked where Snorri was. He said he knew not. Gizurr said that they could not be reconciled if they did not meet. The priest said that perhaps he might be found if he was promised that his life would be spared. Thereafter they became aware of where Snorri was. And they walked into the cellar, Markús Marðarson, Símon knútr, Árni beiskr, Þorsteinn Guðinason, Þórarinn Ásgrímsson. Símon knútr asked Árni to strike him. “Do not strike,” said Snorri. “Thou shalt strike,” said Símon. “Do not strike,” said Snorri. After that Árni inflicted a mortal wound on him, and he and Þorsteinn finished him off.
