HISTORY OF THE ROSICRUCIANS
The Rosicrucian Legend begins with a mythical personage, Christian Rosenkreutz, and of a series of as interesting works as mysterious of principles of century XVII that speak of him and expose a rich esotericism: FAMA Fraternitatis, Confessio Fraternitatis and Boda Alquímica de Christian Rosenkreutz.
Fama Fraternitatis and Confessio Fraternitatis
THE CHEMICAL WEDDING of Christian Rosenkruetz
AS BODAS ALQUÍMICAS DE CHRISTIAN ROSENKREUTZ Johann Valentin Andreae Chymische Hochzeit (1616)
In addition these works and the mentioned personage were detonating the appearance of the first Rosicrucian orders in century XVIII, However before a brotherhood of Rosicrucian's, an authentic Invisible School, formed by outstanding personages of the stature of Francis Bacon (1561-1626), Comenius (1592-1670) or Johann had existed Valentin Andreae (1586-1654), who more likely was behind mentioned works.
The Rosacruz de Ordo was the most important order of the tradition of the Rosicrucian during century XVIII. It was a secret society with initiation ceremonies, a previous investigation to the admission, a hierarchy…
THE GOLDEN DAWN
During the decade of the Eighties of century XIX, Reverend the Alphonsus Woodford, writer of Masonic subjects, discovered a based manuscript. Incapable to decipher it, occurred it in 1887 to doctor William Wynn Westcott, an outstanding member of the SRIA (Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia).
Westcott discovered a Rite masonic - rosacrucian not known and the direction of one such Fraulein Anna Sprengel. She wrote to him and it responded appearing like an initiate of high degree of the temple rosacruz Lichte Liebe Leben de Nuremberg.
As a result from the correspondence, gave to Westcott a clear letter to him for the establishment of a similar Order in Great Britain. And, of this form, the Isis-Uranian Temple of the Students of Hermeticism of the Golden Dawn, directed by Westcott, Mathers and Woodman was founded on the autumn of 1887. The rituals were completed and extended by Mathers.
Toady some of the Golden Dawn works are combined into our Society O.'.T.'.O.'. However many of our initiates belong to the original G.'.D.'. as well. Below you will find the link of the unbroken lineage G.'.D.'.
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn / Rosicrucian Order of Alpha et Omega
MC GREGOR MATHERS
When dying Anna Sprengel, the German temple rosacrucian decencent of the English and was advised to them that they themselves resumed the contact with the Secret Heads or Superior Strangers who were to the front of the Order.
It is possible to comment that these come from the Hindu tradition and the Mahatmas, although, in the Order Illuminati and Societas O.'.T.'.O.'. - like in the Ordo Astrum Argentum, Superior Strangers denominate themselves (Secret Heads). The Superior Strangers are present in the mystics of East and the West and are the “Superior ones” that operate behind true the great masters of the initiatory orders, Rites and Systems of Western Tradition and Humanity.
In the Ordo Astrum Argentum also we spoke of the Great White Brotherhood, when approaching these lessons. Thus, the Golden English Dawn had in its Order of the Red Rose and the Gold Cross and was the successor of the Rosacruz of Gold of century XVIII. Until the degree 5º, the initiates were in the Golden Dawn.
Of the degree 5º to 8º, the initiates were in the Rosicrucian Order. And last the three degrees belonged to the Astrum Argentum or Star of Silver. The first degrees were dedicated to the study of the astral trips, cabala, etc. The degrees Rosicrucian were more trims in the magic. And the last degrees did not exist until Mathers underwent an inspiration and could contact with the Secret Heads or Superior Strangers (Great White Brotherhood).
ALEISTER CROWLEY AND ASTRUM ARGENTUM
The great English initiate Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) was initiated in the Golden Dawn the 18 of November of 1898. He scaled the first degrees quickly, but soon he was themselves surrounded in a series of disputes with some members of the order as poet Yeats or Mathers and left bad unemployed the organization.
Then, from 1906, Crowley led a denominated order Astrum Argentum that would merge in 1907 with a part of the members of the old Golden Dawn. In the Astrum Argentum, Crowley would maintain the hierarchy, the rituals and the lessons of the old Golden Dawn, although yoga, the tantra, etc., would make formal appearance and the Liber Vel Legis, revealed to Crowley by Aiwas in Cairo in 1904, would be the sacred book of the new order.
In the Astrum Argentum of Crowley, the Golden Dawn was the internal order, while the Rosacruz Order was later and the own Astrum Argentum, was the most hidden. In the Twenties of century XX, the Astrum Argentum, already turned the successor of the old Golden Dawn, was in the O.'.T.'.O.'. and, for that reason, after the death of Aliester Crowley in 1947, it went to stop to his legitimate successors to the front of the genuine O.'.T.'.O.'. : Karl Germer, Marcelo Ramos Motta, David Bersson and Gabriel Lopez de Rojas. The Astrum Argentum was under Society OTO of the North American David Bersson (line Marcelo Ramos Motta-Karl Germer-Aleister Crowley) until year 2001.
The Spanish Gabriel Lopez de Rojas, after founding the Illuminati Order (1995), receiving the rank 33º of the Scottish Rite Old and Accepted of the masonry and to be to the front of Society OTO and the Astrum Argentum of EE.UU in Spain in 1999 and the 2000, founded in February of 2001 Societas O.'.T.'.O.'. (Ordo Templi Orientalis) with a Ordo Astrum internal Argentum, that had a Golden Dawn in its internal at the same time.

In 2013 our Frater AzazIOelSet 11 .'. previously. Now known as Frater WothanAzazel .'. came into contact with Frater Azla an initiate of Frater Progradior Sydney Rosicrucian Lodge No. 2 Australia .
Shortly after Fra.'. Azla likewise an initiate of the Marcelo Motta O.'.T.'.O.'. lineage brought to Fra .'. WothanAzazel's attention the David Berson A.'.A.'. material was very fragmented and that Bersson did not make it beyond probationer.
As a result, Fra. '. WothanAzazel after observance of the original A.'. A.'. rules realized the O.'.T.'.O.'. and A.'. A.'. where never meant to be combined and has been working to go through the A.'.A.'. fully. Upon reaching Neophyte Fra .'. WothanAzazel will be taking new probationers. Furthermore our O.'.A.'.A.'. is now separate and there are no degree fees to participate in the work.
Nonetheless in the meantime potential initiates of A.'. A.'. may contact Fra .'. Azla by email regarding beginning the Great Work.
