[edit] Intial version taken from SorceryForge

The initial version of this article was taken from the article at SorceryForge, http://sourceryforge.org/wiki.phtml?title=Martinism version of 02:47, 15 May 2004, with permission under the GNU Free Documentation Licence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Anome (talk • contribs) 06:33, May 19, 2004

[edit] Much lacking in content

The article seems to expound the history of the Martinist movement in some detail. However, anyone who looks to this article to find out what Martinism is all about should be very disappointed as the article in its current state doesn't even touch upon that subject. Yes, it's mysticism, and then what...? __meco 12:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Am currently doing a major re-write of the article, which goes some way to indicating what Martinism actually is. Also the Sourceforge article was quite badly written, IMHO.

What is 'profane business' anyway?

[edit] What is Martinism?

It doesnt say a whole lot other than its a mystical movement. What are their beliefs? Is there literature about them? Its good info. on their history but the article seems lacking to me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.98.127.45 (talk) 23:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Clean-up finished. Clean-up tag removed

I have finished doing all I am going to do to this article. Only fragments of the Sourceforge article are now used. Have inserted links to Louis-Claude De Saint-Martin's books which can be used to give idea of Martinism. Also inserted work on Martinez De Pasqually and Willermoz which was lacking but is vital to understanding the history and character of Martinism.
