The Masonic Lodges were known to the publicand practice symbolic ritual, the Rosicrucians were secret and werespiritual, "...training is often given secretly even in our day,"and "...today there are numerous men... receiving instructions fromthe Great Order unbeknown to their closest friends." 81 (This doesnot apply to AMORC which is less secret.)
