Standard Color Edition (Full color on 55#, 90 GSM, uncoated paper. Available Internationally, except in Australia and Japan) First published in 1925, Bernhard Beyer’s landmark study of the Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross unveiled for the first time the inner structure, rituals, and teachings of this influential eighteenth-century German Rosicrucian society. Exactly one century later, his pioneering work appears in English translation, opening access to a key source in the history of Western esotericism. Drawing on rare archival materials, Beyer reconstructs the nine grades of the Order—Juniorus, Theoreticus, Practicus, Philosophus, Adeptus Minor, Adeptus Major, Adeptus Exemptus, Magister, and the elusive Magus—revealing their ritual forms, theoretical foundations, and spiritual outlook. Through his account, the Golden and Rosy Cross emerges as a society devoted to the mysteries of nature and its spiritual significance, joining alchemical inquiry with the thaumaturgical heritage of the biblical Magi. Though written a century ago, Beyer’s reconstruction remains a rare and essential window into the Order’s hidden world. This edition presents his work as it first appeared, offering readers the chance to encounter the Golden and Rosy Cross in its original unveiling. A forthcoming companion volume— The Golden and Rosy Cross: Ritual, Revelation, and the Legacy of Rosicrucian Alchemy —will expand on this foundation with critical insights, corrections, and complete translations of the surviving eighteenth-century rituals, including the full alchemical practices, and the rare material practiced by those of the Magus grade.
