Lectorium Rosicrucianum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lectorium Rosicrucianum is a worldwide school of Esoteric Christianity founded in 1935 by Dutch mystics Jan van Rijckenborgh, his brother Zwier Willem Leene and Catharose de Petri. The school teaches a form of modern Christian Gnosticism which is based upon the ideas and imagery of Rosicrucianism, the beliefs of the Cathars and other forms of religio-mystical thought such as Hermeticism and Alchemy. Although suppressed by the Nazis during the war it now has branches in countries all over the world including America, Spain, France, Australia and the UK.
