Indeed, a time to draw ourselves to the table....A little of my own organisation...

The Order of the Rosy Croix, Fraternitas Rossae Crucis, (F.R.C.); Otherwise known as The Rosicrucians are a legendary and secretive Order dating from the ancient times before the clocks of Gallia and Sirius were even known to turn. Rosicrucianism is the theology of a secret society of mystics, holding a doctrine "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provides insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm."

It is symbolized by the Rosy Croix, also used in certain rituals of the Freemasons, an organisation in which it is said the Rosicrucians have an ever increasing influence.

Indeed, the Rosicrucians have buit a shrine to the Rosy Croix, a magnificent Temple without rival:-

According to legend, the Rosicrucian Order was founded by Fraterne Rocae Crucis, who studied in the ancient Holy Asteroid Fields of Gallia under various occult masters. During his lifetime, the order was alleged to be small, consisting of no more than eight members. When Fraterne Rocae Crucis died, the order disappeared, only to be "reborn" some 200 years later. And unto this day, there has always been a "founder" named F.R.C.

A lesser known legend tells of ancient parchments found deep in Omichron 80, proclaiming that the Rosicrucian order was created when an Allexandrian Gnostic sage named Ormus and his six followers formed the movement by fusing primitive Occult with Egyptian mysteries on Ancient Earth. Be that as it may.

In point of fact, what was known as the "Society of Rosicrucians" was most likely comprised of a number of isolated zealots who held certain austere views in common (which apparently was their only bond of union). There is no trace of a society holding meetings, or having officers, a bizarre Gallic reflection of the Temporary Autonomous Zoners of Sirius, a loose gang of immoral wasters who are said to worship a theoretical Goddess named Eris of the Geode.

The influence that Rosicrucianism has had in the modernizing of ancient Freemasonry has been subtle and it is likely that as the centuries have advanced, and additional ceremonies grafted on to the first three degrees of Masonery, Rosicrucian tenets have been wrapped in to traditional rituals.

One thing is ever certain, the Rosicrucians bide their time well and lurk in the sub strata of visibility whilst awaiting an appropriate stage. Should they ever combine forces with the other four remaining Hermetic Orders, it will indeed prove to be a powerful conjunction.
