A groundbreaking new view of the Hermetic tradition

This book of stories surrounding noted German Rosicrucian figures is filled with intriguing feats of magick that will fascinate any practicing magician. A broader idea of who these Rosicrucians were than that given by modern commentators may be realized. These old stories may be exaggerated but one may gain an inkling of what is possible for someone who has achieved Rosicrucian adeptship.

A scholarly and accurate text

I am impressed with Schrodter's neutral and history views. I have used this to check other authors views, and historical things regarding some of the concepts and practices. While i must agree with another reviewers thoughts that this was quite dry, i would equate it largely to a Kenneth Starr report. All things considered a valuable book.

An excellent reference

While Rosicrucians themselves will find little in this book they don't already know, it's an excellent, scholarly approach to the subject of Rosicrucianism. A great many references and pointers toward other texts are included as well as a number of delightful anecdotes which offer insight into the goals of the sincere Rosicrucian student.
