The use of the rose cross ritual

1. It encloses the aura with a protection against outside influences. it is like a veil. the pentagrams protect, but they also light up the astral and make entities aware of you. they are more positive for magical working. When much distracted, use the pentagrams to banish and the rose-cross to maintain peace.

2. It is a call to another mode of your consciousness and withdraws you from the physical. it is a good preparation for meditation and, combined with the key-word, a form of invocation of the higher wisdom which is helpful when solving problems or preparing for a difficult interview, or in order to be calm and strong to help another.

3. When you are quite familiar with the ritual, but most certainly not before, it can be done in imagination while resting or lying down. Part of yourself goes out, and you get all the sensation of walking around your own quiescent body. Used

thus, with rhythmic breathing, it will withdraw your mind from pain (if it be not too severe) and release you for sleep. You can do the analysis of the key-word standing behind your physical head, and you can call down the divine white brilliance, watching it flow over your body and smooth out the tangles in the etheric double, bringing peace and rest.

4. You can do the ritual with intention to help others in pain or difficulty. For this purpose, you build up an astral image of the person, in the centre of the room, and call down the light upon him, after surrounding him with the six crosses. When the ceremony is done, command the astral shape you have made to return to the person, bearing with it the peace of yeheshuah.

5. It is a protection against psychic invasion from the thoughts of others or from disturbed psychic conditions, such as there might be in a place charged with fear, where terrible things had happened.

5. Arms crossed on breast, head bowed.

x. --- the sign of Osiris risen.

6. Make the signs again as you repeat l.v.x.

l.v.x. lux.

7. Arms folded on breast, head bowed.

The light of the cross.

8. Then arms extended in the sign of osiris slain (see 1).

virgo - isis - mighty mother

scorpio - apophis - destroyer

sol - osiris - slain and risen

9. Gradually raise arms.

Isis - apophis - Osiris

10. Arms above head, face raised.

. a. o.

11. Except when in the vault, now vibrate the four tablet of union names to equilibriate the light.

exarp - hcoma - nanta - biton

12. Aspire to the light and draw it down over your head to your feet.

Let the divine light descend.

【玫瑰十字会】（Rosenkreutzer，Rosicrucians）近代欧洲宗教秘密会社。17世纪，开始出现于德意志。托称为15世纪的罗森克洛兹所创。会名可能得自该会的标记即十字架上一朵玫瑰花，或来自该会传说中15世纪创建者之名徒罗森克洛兹(Rosenkreutz)，意为“玫瑰十字架”。可能因强调保密的缘故，各类玫瑰十字会会社间似乎很少有历史上的联系。

自称拥有自古代传下的神秘宇宙知识；折衷采纳神秘主义、哲学和科学的观点，提出借“神秘智能”改造世界的主张；普遍认为神弥漫于宇宙万物之中，人只要一旦意识到神就存在于自己之内，而他作为一个宇宙的缩影，就能够主宰宇宙的力量。具有这种功能的人，就可摆脱痛苦和愚昧的苦恼；这些玄虚的泛神论及人文主义的教义经常包含着炼金术、占星术和玄学的成分。现代信徒认为，那些学科最好从象征性的意义去理解。反对天主教而支持路德宗的教义。其实际活动则从事炼金术和神秘方术。

据德国文学家赫尔德（Johann Gottfried von Herder， 1744-1803）论述，该会所

散发的文章最早见于1612年。该会的许多观念其实在古希腊时的哲学家、约与耶稣同时代的埃及诺斯替派 (Gnostic)和隐逸派(Hermetic)的研究者，以及印度哲人处就已经存在。那些观念在中世纪时有些是以秘密的方式流传，尤其是在犹太神秘哲学信徒(Cabalists)中传布。文艺复兴时，有些思想家如帕拉切尔苏斯(Paracelsus)和米兰多拉(Pico della Mirandola)也曾表现出类似的观点。今存有《整个辽阔世界的全面普遍改造》（1614）、《弟兄社团的传说》（Fama fraternitatis，1615）、《西米雪婚礼》(Chymische Hochzeit，1616)等。其中《弟兄社团的传说》作者不详，其中记述罗森克洛兹如何在修道院里受教、在阿拉伯旅行中得知宇宙奥秘，以及在他的祖国德国创建修道式玫瑰十字兄弟会，直到他于120岁卒后猜测是1484年的一生经历。这本小册子鼓动人们加入会社，透过把宗教和科学融汇一体，为宇宙的道德振兴与和平作出贡献。

《西米雪婚礼》叙述的另一位身为老人的罗森克洛兹的故事，相传是由罗森克洛兹本人所写。后来，路德派神学家安德烈亚（J.V.Andre?）承认此书是他所写，纯属一种年轻人的恶作剧。他也很可能是《兄弟会的传说》的作者。尽管这类著作引起过很大的争议，后该会逐渐流传于西欧各国，形成一些使用共同名称的类似社团，但并非统一的组织。后在北欧各地建起由医生、科学家和其它人组成的许多小社团。此后，社团的数量时增时减，变化不定。这些社团通常对罗森克洛兹其人所知甚少，而且经常与同济会和通神学有联系。

现存的社团有盎格鲁玫瑰十字会，即为统辖着许多分会的英国社团，包括一个较秘密的法国会社和4个美国会社。其基本理论为：（1）唯一的真知，只有借助于火的烧炼来对所有各物进行分析，才能获得；（2）上帝在其“恩宠王国”和“自然王国”中都以同一的规律行事，因而在宗教和科学之间，具有一种完全相符的并发情况；（3）神的灵魂或能力，通过无形体的结构弥漫于整个宇宙，有时称作宇宙精神，有时称作“阿基巫”（Achaeus）。
