Inquiries Invited
"What think you, loving people, and how seem you affected, seeing that you now understand and know, that we acknowledge ourselves truly and sincerely to profess Christ ... addict ourselves to the true Philosophy, lead a Christian life, and daily call, entreat and invite many more unto our Fraternity, unto whom the same Light of God likewise appeareth?" – Confessio Fraternitatis
Why is the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross not widely known?
The Brotherhood has never aspired to attract the attention of the masses or to swell its ranks with mere numbers. True illumination is not a matter of popularity, nor is the mystery of divine wisdom revealed to the multitudes. We are, and shall remain, an elite and devoted fellowship, guided by a preference for quality of membership over quantity. In this lies our strength: a company of kindred spirits, bound by shared aspiration and commitment.
Is it possible to join the Brotherhood?
One does not join the Brotherhood as one might a club or society. Rather, one is admitted to its fellowship after discernment, preparation, and sincere inquiry. This distinction is vital, for the path of the Rosy Cross is not merely an external affiliation but an inward calling. We welcome those who feel this stirring within, provided their pursuit is guided by prayer, meditation, and careful soul-searching.
What does it mean to be a member of the Brotherhood?
Membership in the Brotherhood is a privilege, not a transaction. It is a path of spiritual refinement and intellectual endeavor, requiring no less than five years of dedicated study and preparation before one may be admitted in full. It is not for the curious or the casual, but for those who earnestly desire to embody the ideals of the Rosicrucian tradition as a way of life.
What kind of teachings does the Brotherhood provide?
The Brotherhood is a treasure house of wisdom, offering age-old teachings that can give you the knowledge to attain to enlightenment, health and prosperity. Our methods are personal and profound, eschewing impersonal correspondence or commercialized lessons. Each student is treated as a unique soul, and instruction is given under the direction of gifted mentors, who can not only impart the teachings but advance you spiritually on the Way.
Is the Brotherhood merely a collection of metaphysical ideas?
Far from it. The Brotherhood is not engaged in the business of selling mail-order memberships that consist solely of correspondence courses of metaphysical lessons. To be a true Rosicrucian is to live what others only read and dream of. It is a transformative way of life, not simply a body of knowledge. We call ourselves Brothers and Sisters because these are not empty titles; they reflect the bonds of the heart and spirit that unite us in the sacred work.
How can I inquire about joining the Brotherhood?
If you feel inspired to seek admission, we encourage you to contact us. Tell us about your spiritual beliefs, your experience with the esoteric or paranormal, your studies, and your reasons for desiring to join the Brotherhood. Please provide the following:

A recent photograph, while optional, may also be included to aid in our discernment.
What can I expect from the Brotherhood if admitted?
Admission to the Brotherhood is an invitation to communion with like-minded souls and the opportunity to partake of ancient and sacred wisdom. It is a fellowship that fosters enlightenment, health, and prosperity, and it is guided by teachers who are not only conveyors of knowledge but also spiritual guides.
How do I know if this is the right path for me?
The Brotherhood invites you to inquire further. If the teachings resonate with your soul and stir a longing for something deeper, the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross welcomes you with open arms and a sincere hope that you will at last find in our Brotherhood that which you have been seeking. May God bless and guide you as you discern your way forward.
We look forward to hearing from you and walking beside you on this sacred journey.
Destiny
Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours
For one lone soul another lonely soul
Each choosing each through all the weary hours
And meeting strangely at one sudden goal.
Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers,
Into one beautiful and perfect whole;
And life's long night is ended, and the way
Lies open onward to eternal day.
