The Rosicrucian Family promoted tolerance, friendship, learning
and artistry in service of truth. 1124 They regarded virtue, peace and the
purity and strength of a person's inner spiritual life as far more important
than any outer religious or political orientation. Charity or brotherly love
was the most important of the virtues, as it is in Freemasonry today.
The Family considered the outer form as unimportant and able to
adapt to exigency. The branches of the Family’s tree could bend in the
winds of the political and religious environment in each country.
However, the inner form was quite different. The Family united its
members with a common philosophy of man’s inner spiritual life.
The Family claimed its members led the Italian Renaissance and
produced great writers, teachers, healers, scholars, poets, artists and
craftsmen. They also claim credit for great charitable works and
educational schemes. Dr John Dee traveled to Rome to follow the Family
and bring their Italian Renaissance stories back to England.
The sentiment that underpinned the Family was only one part of
society’s longing for better times. Righteous social engineers constantly
sought out portents of change such as comets and other signs in the sky.
As if on cue, impressive supernova explosions took place that had
immense meaning for the early English Rosicrucians
