The Twin Rosicrucian Publications, Keys to the Rosicrucian Mysteries

Talk given on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the twinship of the English Shakespeare First Folio and the Latin Advancement of Learning, and their connection with the 1623 great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, and how they comprise the keys to the Rosicrucian Mysteries, as well as to life itself.

2023 is the Quatercentenary of the Shakespeare First Folio and Francis Bacon’s Latin version of The Advancement of Learning – two major works that were published at the same time, like twins, and which have had a considerable and on-going effect on the whole world. Both works contain profound symbolism, cryptography and mystery, all of which is founded upon ageless wisdom knowledge or science.

The Rosicrucian Mysteries derive their name from the ancient symbol of the Rose Cross, but the use of the symbol to name a society or fraternity practising these mysteries began in 1570, when the Society of the Golden and Rosy Cross was founded in England. In 1604 the RC Society began to make its name and work public, thereby ushering in the modern scientific era. At that time Francis Bacon was the ‘Apollo’ and ‘Fra. CRC’ of the Rosicrucian Fraternity, and he, together with others, set this work in motion across Europe, and eventually the world, under the name of ‘The Great Instauration’.

(This talk was originally advertised as ‘Rosicrucian Mysteries Part 2.)
