The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries

by Hargrave Jennings

About this book

Hargrave Jennings explores Rosicrucian traditions through ancient religious symbols, monuments and accounts of hidden knowledge. His discussion connects the rose and cross with fire worship, serpent imagery and other motifs he finds across different cultures.

The book combines historical narrative, interpretations of architecture and extensive engravings of emblems and talismans. Jennings uses these materials to develop his account of the origins and significance of the Rosicrucians.
