New Rosicrucian Course with William Kiesel of Ouroboros Press

22 Teachings presents
Mysteries of the Rose Cross: History, Symbols and Ceremonies
presented by William Kiesel of Ouroboros Press

For students who have completed Hermetic Qabalah Level II: Ritual, Sigils and Rites, this course covers the history, theory and practice of the Rosicrucians mysteries.

Course Description:

The Rosicrucians taught that Alchemy, Magic, Qabalah and Theurgy were mainstays in any spiritual practice, but who were the mysterious Fraternity of the Rosy Cross and what did they bring to the esoteric tradition?

Beginning with the original Rosicrucian Manifestos, a history of the order and its influence over several magical movements will be covered including Germany, France, England and America. This provides the background and context for its enduring promise of a dawn of new consciousness in the West.

Discussion and analysis of the foundation texts utilizing tools and arcana established in the Hermetic Qabalah lecture series will enable students to perceive the esoteric meaning behind the famous manifestos of the Rosy Cross and discover how these open secrets may be applied to one’s magical path. The journey, initiation and founding of the order as described by the Rosicrucian figure known as Frater C.R.C. are examined closely including revelations on the symbolism of the Rose Cross and the famed Vault of the Adepti.

Mystical principles and ceremonial techniques, including their symbols, invocations and rubrics will be provided so that students may manifest the Rosicrucian current into their personal practice.
