The Rosicrucian 1 - Hermeticism

For over one hundred and fifty years, the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia has pursued its founding mission quietly, rigorously, and away from public view: to investigate the philosophy of Hermes Trismegistus, the secrets of the Kabbalah, and the meaning and symbolism of the wisdom, art and literature of the ancient world.

Now, for the first time, that work steps into the open.

'The Rosicrucian' is the first global publication to emerge from the world's oldest independent society of Masonic Rosicrucians. Produced in partnership with Lewis Masonic, its purpose is to bring the mysteries of the Western Tradition into the light, in a voice that is scholarly in its foundations and accessible to every sincere seeker.

The first edition is devoted to Hermeticism. From the Emerald Tablet to the Corpus Hermeticum, this is the tradition attributed to Hermes Trismegistus that stands at the very root of the Western esoteric project. Not merely one strand of the Mystery Tradition, but the thread from which most of the others are woven.

A landmark publication from a living tradition.
