The Confession Of The Rosicrucian Brotherhood

This second volume of the series The Secrets of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood contains the text of the Confessio Fraternitatis R. C. (1615) by Johann Valentin Andreae, who lived and worked in Calw, in the Black Forest of Germany, around 1600, along with extensive esoteric analysis by Jan van Rijckenborgh. The author describes this Rosicrucian manifesto as follows: On closer consideration, students of the Confessio will realize that this old document is not a confession of faith in the ordinary sense, not a dogmatic exposition of what does and does not agree with the convictions of the Rosicrucians, but a tremendous piece of prophecy. If we go beyond the simple, indeed sometimes so simplistic, exoteric aspect, its universal, unlimited significance is revealed to us and we see the radiant path of truth stretching in a wide arc from horizon to horizon.
