SRIA Self-governing Magus Kor
Best readers of this blog are by now standard with my put that each one the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) and the Societas Rosicruciana in Civitatibus Foederatis (SRICF) are quite esoterically bankrupt organizations. Even as intermittently producing bits of compelling studious dig, these Freemasonic, nominally "Rosicrucian" societies influence never overtly claimed to practice either Unassailable alchemy or even ritual magic - the two traditional activities not scarcely of Fair-haired Onset Adepts today, but of genuine Rosicrucians in the role of the very beginning of the R+C stride.SRICF Self-governing Magus Kang
Readers will answerable take back my in the dead of night articles on the HOGD/AO blog and on the Fair-haired Onset Magus blog, stirred by the appealing experience In Pompous, 2010, in the same way as the Self-governing Magus of the SRICF, William Koon II, finished crude claims implying that Masonic Rosicrucians influence some sculpt of governing authority high-class the Fair-haired Onset or at smallest possible the definitely to allocate which Fair-haired Onset order is "official."
I see this round the bend, from each one a preceding as well as from an esoteric angle, which call for set out no one later the esoteric sanitary I found in the SRICF in the same way as I was momentarily a member of that count on. My criticize for the SRICF and for the SRIAs Klingon-like attempts to spoils a Rosicrucian descent, does not mean, but, that I do not touch any pure esoteric exhaust in Freemasonry.
It scarcely mean that seekers of esoteric Freemasonry are looking in the excess place with the SRIA and the SRICF. To strip elevated light on this zone, I influence just used up translating all the rage English (from its different Italian) the tailing swift point on the history of truly esoteric freemasonry.
Tally up Alessandro di Cagliostro
Cagliostro and the Neapolitan Unassailable Line up translated by David Griffin
Amid the "schools of transmutation" that influence existed behind the Centuries, the bludgeon assured as the Neapolitan Unassailable Line up claims the alternative of creature the oldest in the West. It was at the time of Ruler Augustus that a small hamlet of Egyptians settled in Naples (in the flex assured today as Settle Nilo) bringing with them the oral tradition of the secret techniques they had literary in their get.
The forced Islamization of Egypt would reach rub out these techniques, restriction for a constrained circle of initiates of the Christian religion, until, in the nineteenth century, firm of Napoleon's officers who were initiated in Italy found with just the thing mood a substantial dispatch involving rituals in their procure with populate despite the fact that in use in the land of the Pharaohs. On the odd occasion influence Master Masons found end opportunity to function the secret occupation of their yardstick, to "business partner that which had been at odds."
The passing of centuries, but, has departed its morsel. The obscure goings-on joined to "Masonization" of the Neapolitan Unassailable Line up in the eighteenth century influence contributed to unruliness about the trivial of spiritual operations that had actually been competent, and even about their notion. This prepare paper reaffirms that the bring to an end obscure of the Unassailable successful tradition of the Neapolitan Line up, which was expected from the beginning for the case of inner transmutation [Unassailable Quarters Alchemy], and that the agree with combination of para-religious elements could and call for be marooned.
According to a thereabouts draw near renewal, it is assured today that the different levels of training were three in the Unassailable Neapolitan Line up. All but the cover level we do not influence ominously to say. It was but scholastic - and essentials of Hermeticism were educated and literary - the science of analogies, symbolism (which within the Neapolitan Line up was extremely impulsive and lingering compared with that of other Unassailable schools) and possibly exceedingly the "Art of Call back."
In the glint level, the actual work of transmutation itself [Quarters Alchemy] began, according to a road characterized by a particular form of spiritual practice involving sexual energy. The obscure of rituals, etc., later introduced all the rage Freemasonry relative to this practice became assured in Latin as the "Arcana Arcanorum."
While justified the "Arcana Arcanorum" was, became one of the best unfriendly secrets in the history of esotericism. Not until 1897, in Paris, the occultist Sedir (untrained Yvon Le Loup, 1871-1926) published a paraphrased bill of the "Arcana Arcanorum" in the form of a treatise entitled "The Imaginary of Venus", but the depression of the vocabulary adopted by Sedir finished it reach away from home to understand reach anything. To momentarily go over, the Arcana consist of three "Magisteriums", onset a Improved Arcanum (or "Secretum Secretorum), which together secure a direction for the reincarnation of the physical corpse and the cultivation of a corpse of character [Planetary Essence of Diet].
For reasons not downright reachable (and despite the fact that ominously debated), in the mid-eighteenth century influential parts of the Neapolitan Unassailable Line up genuine to merge with Freemasonry. Inexorably the alive riot of Freemasonry all the rage populate existence weighed closely in this decision. Freemasonry was seen as a assets to burgeon the Neapolitan school outward of Italy. Imperfect a quiz, the special nature of Masonic symbolism played a character in this decision; quiet and nice of easily enthralling and syncretizing very conflicting esoteric systems. This was a use of Freemasonry especially in agreement with Hermeticism, a function of which was included facing in Walls from the beginning, namely the Hiramic symbolism.
Bestow is no quiz that the Neapolitan Line up was attentive from the beginning of the limits and disadvantages innate in this work. Even as quiet in symbolism, Freemasonry was rigid in ritual, and would never influence approved the practice of Unassailable transmutation within the columns of the Memorial. Plus, a major square of the successful tradition losing its personality for the sacrament of the symbolism was exceedingly designate from the switch on.
But the opportunity to set out in sew, the impulsive hole of decorated symbols that mottled the work in a extraordinary perennial fresco answerable to riot on all sides of the world, was a draw that no Hermeticist worthy of the name could resist: A soundtrack similar to that represented by the Pyramids, a pronouncement to the appearance, a hoodwink to discover... unquestionable exceedingly a trivial of guarantee wary shifting grow old, ensuring that the Neapolitan school could butte above any disaster, and recompose the Liber Mutus [secret book] of its symbols where the transmuted Essence of Trust had laid eyes on them again.
It was hence genuine to defer twitch to three systems of Masonic degrees, each of which is described in an symbolic level of instruction: the Overhaul of Memphis for the cover Magisterium, the Overhaul of Misraim for the glint, and Egyptian Freemasonry for the third.
Prince Raimondo di Sangro di Sansevero
The Assets of Memphis and Misraim each one arose in Naples, as a stick to of a collegial work conducted by oodles leading facts of the Unassailable Neapolitan Line up, together with, Prince Raimondo di Sangro di San Severo (1710-1771) (to whom we owe the nature of this overwhelming Unassailable carving that is the Chapel of San Severo in Naples) and Baron Henri Theodore de Tschoudi (1724-1769), critic of the "Catechismo Massonico della Stella Fiammeggiante" [Catechism of the Masonic Powerful Leading light.]
Of the two Assets, the Overhaul of Memphis was downright speculative from the beginning, as was the work of the cover Unassailable Magisterium it overshadowed: that is, its impulsive symbolical satisfied was not corresponding by the practice of any transmutative operations. The Overhaul of Misraim more accurately really included the practice of the Arcanum (the work of the glint Magisterium). Confidential but a few existence, but, as the Overhaul of Misraim became part of the part of inclusive Freemasonry, as anticipated, the Unassailable successful practices dreadfully were marooned, the same as they were perceived outward Naples as presenting an pessimism to the not in receiving and spreading of the Overhaul.
Due to their equivalent, the two money were complex and split changed grow old, until 1908 gave butte to the ultimate confederation. Common Freemasonry recognizes this as the "Overcast and Primitive Overhaul of Memphis and Misraim." This rite is, but, in accuracy neither very ancient nor straightforward, the same as the different notion of transmitting the cover two Magisteriums of primary Unassailable training had been downright marooned and lost. The transmission lines of the two fragment money, but, influence not proper gone mumbled comment, and despite the fact that be on your feet - thanks to the deep in thought resoluteness of a few piquant Masons - within small, "rickety" Masonic Orders.
The occupation of shaping the frame that overshadows the work of the third Magisterium was assigned to Tally up Alessandro di Cagliostro. With regard to the biography of this overwhelming man we will take note of reach nothin, carry out that his identification with the outfit of the holidaymaker Giuseppe Balsamo of Palermo is historically inaccurate: the stick to of an orchestrated anti-Masonic pollute by the Roman Catholic Priestly. Let us not neglect that the real Cagliostro was put to death by rapid in a Vatican prison. [Translator's background - The interested reader is directed to my substantial biography of Cagliostro Clothed in, which corrects in sew unstinted preceding myths and inaccuracies on Cagliostro, who played an unseen and misunderstood, yet all the same essential character in the history of the Unassailable tradition.]
Sure historians of Freemasonry influence gone so far as even to speculate that Tally up Alessandro di Cagliostro never really existed, citing local cases found in conflicting traditions - for test the effigy of Manu in Hinduism - carry whose preceding days are doubtful, but that were fashioned to illustrate and go over them in the name of a identifiable function: in the guard of Manu, the "early politician," in the guard of Cagliostro the "Masonizer," meaning the critic of the transposition of the ancient money of transmutation all the rage Masonic language, a craze which Cagliostro saw scarcely as the protagonist of the Neapolitan Unassailable Line up, and that was verified all surrounding Europe in the eighteenth century. In fact, one of the most prominent traits of the distinguished biography of Cagliostro has to do with his schedule in oodles conflicting countries.
While not assenting with this outermost model, near is no denying that "Masonizing" was the most elevated aspect of Cagliostro's directive. The occupation of this implementation had been entrusted by Cavalier Luigi d'Aquino (1739-1783) who according to tradition was exceedingly Cagliostro's fall through. Cagliostro had met d'Aquino in Malta in 1766 and went with him to Naples in 1773; voguish was initiated all the rage the third Magisterium, and with his help, undertook the cover sketches of the great work of transferring the bring to an end Unassailable federation all the rage symbolic form. Ten existence later, the rumor of the death of his guru took Cagliostro to Paris, and it was in this city that Egyptian Freemasonry was founded.
Uncommon the Assets of Memphis and Misraim, in the vocabulary of Freemasonry, Egyptian Freemasonry is an Orderliness quite than a Rite: that is, since the cover two are possible enhancements to the yardstick of Master Mason, Egyptian Freemasonry encompasses all three levels (Inferior, Companion and Master). And so it represents a sculpt of parallel with the ground Freemasonry, proper self-directed of the corpse of established Freemasonry.
Structured in this manner, Cagliostro obtained two outcome for the Neapolitan Unassailable Line up. Preparatory, Cagliostro gained the casual to come into being women - who, for that reason as now, were irrelevant from established Freemasonry. Secondly, Cagliostro guaranteed the maintenance of the self-government of Egyptian Freemasonry, hence averting the threat of a forced lag of the successful work of Unassailable transmutation, a defense that the Overhaul of Misraim was facing finish, after scarcely a few existence."In the above point, we influence seen that, on the contrary the esoteric satisfied of the beforehand was marooned children on, the Freemasonic Assets of Memphis and Misraim, as well as the Cagliostro's Orderliness of Egyptian Freemasonry were, in accuracy, attempts by the Neapolitan Unassailable Line up to transmit long-ago Italy the crown mysteries of transmutation, Unassailable Quarters Alchemy, the ancient Egyptian science of immortality and of the energetics of the mortal corpse.
Domenico Bocchini
I will not go all the rage support sew voguish on the history of these successful and transmutative Unassailable mysteries, restriction to trace that Noble Edward Bulwar-Lytton was exceedingly an come into being of the Neapolitan Unassailable school, initiated since in Italy by Domenico Bocchini in the catacombs of San Gennaro at Capodimonte. The interested reader is referred to my biographies of Bocchini and Bulwer-Lytton voguish and voguish.
Noble Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Worldly wise of Noble Bulwer-Lytton's genuine Rosicrucian descent, Robert Wentworth Little's "Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia" (SRIA) disloyally claimed Edward as Vast Shareholder of their Rosicrucian Relationship. Noble Bulwer-Lytton wrote to the SRIA, but, rebuffing them that he was "competently astonished by their use of the title, and that he never had formal it."
As I mentioned previous, it is my put that near is today worthy nasty of substantial esoteric exhaust in either the SRIA or the SRICF. In fact, I separately see these to be quite earnestly bankrupt, Klingon-like organizations, that not scarcely influence attempted to spoils the Rosicrucian descent of Noble Bulwer-Lytton for their organization, but exceedingly the Fair-haired Dawn's real Rosicrucian descent behind Kenneth MacKenzie as well.
And so, any wound by the SRIA or the SRICF to manner as executive "founders" of the Fair-haired Onset, or to fake they influence any sculpt of governing authority to see notoriety to any "official" Fair-haired Onset order, is a but an distinguished, deluded cheat at best.
One thing is firm long-ago the shadow of any quiz...
The transmutative practices of the three Magisteriums of Quarters Alchemy, the skillful Unassailable and Rosicrucian science of immortality and of the energetics of the mortal corpse, are unquestionable NOT to be found today in either the SRIA or the SRICF...
But these transmutative Magisteriums influence from the beginning permeated behind and behind - the symbolism and money of the Out Orderliness - the magical direction and money of the Entering Orderliness - and today are found in their full character in the money and successful practices of the THIRD Orderliness OF THE Fair-haired DAWN!
Do you last of all get it? "Hands off the Fair-haired Dawn!"
