Fama Fraternitatis or a Discovery of the Fraternity of the Most Laudable Order of the Rose Cross, by Christina D’Arcy, S.R.C., from the “Discovering the Rosicrucian Path” issue of the Rosicrucian Digest. ​In this podcast, Soror D’Arcy discusses the context and content of the seminal Rosicrucian manifesto, the Fama Fraternitatis, published in 1614. This manifesto presents the allegorical initiatic journey of Brother C.R. (later called Christian Rosenkreuz), a mythical figure who is credited with founding the Rosicrucian Order. His journey reveals some of the sources of the teachings that Rosicrucians study today.
