This is lecture 3 of a 5-part seminar on "Landmarks of Esoteric Literature", recorded on May 5, 1962 in front of a live audience by Manly P. Hall. NOTE: After the 1 hour mark, this lecture switches to the 2nd half of a different lecture. We are trying to find the missing audio. In the meantime, this will be left up as is. 0:00 This is the correct 1st half of this lecture on the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross. 1:00:36 This is the wrong 2nd half and belongs to the 4th lecture in this series. Apologies to all. “The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross - A History of the Rosicrucians” is Arthur Edward Waite's study of the elusive Rosicrucians, a secret society which the first appeared to the public in Germany in the early 17th century. Arthur Edward Waite (1857 – 1942), more commonly referred to as A. E. Waite, was an American-born British mystic and poet. He wrote profusely on the subject of the occult and esoteric matters, and is famous for being the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. His work arguably constitutes the first attempt to systematically studying the history of western occultism, which he viewed more of a spiritual tradition than proto-science or pseudo-religion, as was the more common conception. Contents include: “Mythical Rosicrucian Precursors”, “Militia Crucifera Evangelica”, “Alchemists And Mystics Symbolism”, “Of The Rose And Cross”, “Fama Fraternitatis R C”, “Confessio Fraternitatis R C”, “The Chemical Nuptials”, “Authorship Of The Chemical Nuptials”, “Development Of Rosicrucian Literature”, etc. As one of our community members pointed out, this lecture was one in a five-part series, titled, "Landmarks of Esoteric Literature" 1.
