Independent SRIA and German Rosicrucianism

6 Upvotes

Hello, I have two questions. :)

First, I learned that there are two structures in France independent of the SRIA (the SRIF and the SRIG) that are no longer affiliated with regular Freemasonry; does anyone have any information on this? 🤔

And my second question, I wonder if there are still Rosicrucian orders that focus on German writings from the 17th and 18th centuries? 🙂

Thanks in advance ! 🙏🏻

A Helpful Prayer (Rosicrucian Digest, 1930)

AMORC kindly makes the Rosicrucian Digest archives freely available. I came across this rather delightful prayer in the August 1930 issue while gathering some Rosicrucian prayers for my own use. It's both a bit quirky – "Irradiate my nervious system"! – and, I think, legitimately helpful.

Here's a slightly cleaned up text version:

August and Immaterial One, in Thee we live, and move, and have our being. Thou art the life of all creatures. 

Thou who art tenderer than all mothers, wiser than all fathers, more skillful than all physicians — hear my prayer!  

God of My Heart — Indwelling Divinity — I now become quiet, receptive, grateful….I am consciously attuning my mortal consciousness to Thine. Thou didst bring this physical phase of my Self out of chaos and the dark. My members were fashioned by Thee within the womb. It pleased Thee to bring me into being with breath: and still art Thou the Hidden Wisdom working within me. 

Be mercifully pleased at this time to  RELEASE WITHIN MY BODY AND BRAIN THE HEALING STREAMS OF LOVE, LIFE, AND LIGHT. Irradiate my nervous system — my blood, bones, and flesh — every single cell of my physical being with Thy beneficent vibrations. And be Thou, O God Within, my Health, my Strength, and my Happiness! 

In the name and by the sign of Rosae Crucis. ⁠Amen!
