Rosicrucians
Rosicrucians are members of a mystical and philosophical movement that emerged in the early 17th century in Europe. They are often associated with esoteric teachings, combining elements of mysticism, alchemy, astrology, and the study of ancient wisdom. The name "Rosicrucian" derives from the symbol of the rose and the cross, representing spiritual enlightenment and union of the material and spiritual realms. Rosicrucians seek personal transformation and deeper understanding of the universe, often through secret societies and rituals, while promoting ideals of compassion, knowledge, and inner awakening. Their teachings influence various modern spiritual and philosophical movements.
