In this blog post I offer a historical chart on the lineages of the Rosicrucian Orders, and their inter-relationship. The chart is based on actual history rather than “traditional history” and represents a distillation of the latest Rosicrucian research.

  1. More historical revisionist bullshit from Sam Robertson. Do you REALlY have nothing better to do than historical revisionism stirring shit in the GD community by rewriting modern HOGD history according to SRIA revisionist fantasies?
    Maybe if you would finally get some students, you could actually become the teacher you dream of becoming instead of just continuing to be a shit stirring little twit!
    Shame on you. What a pity to see that after so many years that such silliness is all you have managed to become. Rosicrucian? My foot!

     

  2. A rather comprehensive chart of the at times confounding myriad of corresponding lineages and seemingly endless offshoots as one attempts to trace the origins of such an order.

    I would also recommend investigating the following connections and potential lineage(s) and perhaps incorporating them into your flow chart as well:

    Fratres Rosae Crucis of German (ca.1450) / (Order of the Cross ca. 1444) -> the Fraternitate Rosæ et Aureæ Crucis (R. et A.C.) (1580 or 1517) / Order the Rosy Cross (1555) -> Orden des Gülden und Rosen-Creutzes (1710) / Brothers of the Golden Cross (1666) -> Gold und Rosenkreutz Orden (1757, 1767 & 1777) -> Asiatic Brethren / Fratres Lucis (“Brotherhood of Light”) (1780) -> L’Aurore Naissante (“the Nascent Dawn”) / Loge zur aufgehenden Morgenrothe (“Lodge of the Rising Dawn”) (1807) -> Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (1888)

     

  3. Hi there David, thanks for your comment.
    Firstly, I didn’t write this chart or blog post, so not sure what you are on about.
    Secondly, I don’t work with anyone in the SRIA and I doubt they’d share much with me, as private as they are.
    Thirdly, what revisionism do you mean? Everyone now knows Mailander was Steiner’s teacher, as well as Hartmann’s and Meyrinks.
    Unless you’re annoyed you were left out of the chart? I am unsure of your lineage, but we’ve only added those lineages that can be referenced.
    You are welcome to show references for your long list of supposed Rosicrucian lineages and I could ask the author to do a second version.
    Thanks, Samuel Robinson

    Hey Sam,
    Keep stirring shit and you will never amount to more than a wannabe historian. Cut the crap already and get some students already.

     

  5. I am appalled by your language, David Griffin. An Imperator…shame on you! Where I once gave you equal footing, you have lost my respect. Your words are a reflection of your character, not Sam’s.

     

  7. Hello mr Griffin,

    The chart and the blog post were my effort and not Sam’s. I was unable to verify your claims about lineage. I didn’t put you via Regardie and Monastre on the chart because you wrote on your website that the Regardie lineage is a hoax.

    If you can provide me with some references and verifiable information I can add you to the chart. Just reach out. There is really no need for these kind of comments or over-sensitive blog posts of any kind. You’re really giving me too much credit for calling me an MI6 spook and satanist. I’m just a insignificant and normal young man searching for his soul.

    All the best.
