Ambelain – Le Martinisme (1946) Translated by Piers A. Vaughan (2002) “Receive, O Lord, according to the wishes of the Unknown Philosopher, our Master, the homage which we Thy Servants here present offer to Thee in this place. May this mysterious Light enlighten our spirits and our hearts, as they shone upon the works of our Masters in olden times. May these Flambeaux illuminate the Brothers, assembled at Thy call, with their living clarity, and may their presence constantly be a living witness of their union…” And so, in the manner adopted by our Masters in olden times, let the Symbols manifest!”1 N.B. In the footnotes, if the initials ‘PV’ appear after the entry this is my comment. If there are no initials, the comment appeared in the original book. 1 With the authorization of the Grand Master of the Traditional Martinist Order, we have used three extracts of the Ritual in this work. - 2 - R. Ambelain – Le Martinisme (1946) Translated by Piers A. Vaughan (2002) TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE This translation is the first in what we hope will be a series of books translated from the original French pertaining to the Martinist movement. Martinism has been in existence in its present form for over one hundred years, and there is an abundance of source material, commentaries and modern exegeses available in French, but regrettably little had been translated into English for the benefit of the many anglophones who desperately seek information about this mystical current.

  • + ECCLESIA GNOSTICA + 1890. Église Gnostique
    + ECCLESIA GNOSTICA + 1890. Église Gnostique Universelle Catholique - EgliseGnostique de France Episcopal Seal of Doinel JULES DOINEL and the Eglise Gnostique Universelle Catholique The "Universal Catholic Gnostic Church" was ' spiritually' founded (without apostolic succession) on September 21, 1890 by Jules Doinel ( Jules-Benoît Stanislas Doinel de Val -Michel, 1842 - 1903 ). Doinel, a Freemason (member of the ' Grand Oriënt de France' ), was a librarian and Spiritist. As a practising Spiritist he had recurring visions of the Divine Feminine 'aspect '. Doinel became convinced that it was his destiny to take part in the restoration of the Divine Feminine aspect and to give it its proper place in religion, the reestablishment of the fallen church of the Sophia. In 1888 Doinel discovered in the library of Orléans a Charter dated 1022 which was written by a forerunner of the Cathars, a certain Canon Stephan de Orléans, a schoolmaster who taught Gnostic doctrines. He apparently was burned later the same year for heresy. Doinel started to become fascinated by the Cathars and their predecessors, the Bogomills, Paulicians, Manicheans, and various other Gnostic movements. He studied their doctrines and became convinced that "Gnosticism was the true religion behind Freemasonry". In the second half of 19th century France a growing interest in the Cathar-movement had been developed. Around 1874 a succesful book was published, titled "Histoire d'Albigenses", written by Napoléon Peyrat, Federico Mistral and others re-established the "Compagnie des Jeux Floraux" ( see "FUDOSI Orders & Societies - on Viscount de la Passe), in 1896 appeared the magazine "Montsegur", published by Prosper Estieu and Joseph Péladan published his short treatise "from Parsifal to Don Quixote, the secret of the Troubadours".

As the direct or indirect progenitor of many Catholic and Orthodox Churches in America, France (his last years), and all over the world eventually. He is, so to speak, also the « father » of the Apostolic Succession of the Gallican Church of Mgr. Giraud and the Gnostic Church, in its apostolic branch, of Mgr. Bricaud and Mgr. Constant Chevillon only. His life and his work in Europe and in the United States are well-known from many books and articles, but there is a period that the historians seem to neglect: his return to Paris in 1924, his retirement in Versailles and his death. He was born in Paris, the son of a butcher, on January 24, 1854. His parents belonged to the region of La Maine in north-west of France, and adhered to “La Petite Eglise”. As the last priest of this Church died, he may have been baptised by a layman at first.

  • Martynizm Papusa – Gerard Encausse Jako Kontynuator Ezoterycznej Tradycji
    Studia Religiologica 47 (3) 2014, s. 225–236 doi:10.4467/20844077SR.14.016.2910 www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Religiologica Martynizm Papusa – Gerard Encausse jako kontynuator ezoterycznej tradycji Zbigniew Łagosz Papus Martinism – Gerard Encausse as a Continuator of Esoteric Tradition Abstract The Martinist ideas movement, perceived as a mystical-esoteric branch of Christianity, emerged in the 18th century. The three original founders (Martines de Pasqually, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, Jean-Baptiste Willermoz) brought different elements to it, moulding the final shape of the doctrine. Martinism owes its modern revival and popularity to another esotericist. Gerard Encausse (1865– 1916) brought fresh spirit to the inheritance of his antecedents and gave it its final architecture. The present text describes the birth of this movement, with special attention to the role of Encausse in its formation. Słowa kluczowe: martynizm, ezoteryka, G. Encausse, tradycja, doktryna Keywords: martinism, esoteric, G. Encausse, tradition, doctrine Poprawne zdefiniowanie pojęcia prądu ideowego zwanego martynizmem może się okazać zadaniem trudnym, prawie niemożliwym. Sami jego protoplaści dzielili go na martynezizm, willermozizm i martynizm. Nim przejdziemy do odnowiciela tej tra- dycji Gérarda Encausse’a, postaram się przybliżyć korzenie nurtu, który zawładnął umysłami filozofów, artystów i zwykłych ludzi czasów oświecenia. Historia ruchu wiąże się nierozerwalnie z trzema osobami: Martinezem de Pasquallym, Louisem Claude de Saint-Martinem i Jeanem Baptiste’em Willermo- zem. Oni to nadali kształt doktrynie zjawiska martynizmu, zapożyczając doń kabałę, magię ceremonialną, spirytualizm, a w końcu także elementy mistyki chrześcijań- skiej. Zdaniem Roberta Ambelaina, Pasqually, tworząc swój system, czerpał z gnozy manichejczyków i katarów, czyli z mistycyzmu, herezji i metafizyki1.

  • Contemporary Martinism and Its True Origins
    Initiatic Survivals I Contemporary Martinism and its true origins By Robert Ambelain Pub. March 1948 by DESTINS 108b, rue Championnet, PARIS -1- 1 NOTE BY THE TRANSLATOR This English translation is part of the Martinist Order of Unknown Philosopher’s desire to make seminal Martinist works freely available to Francophones more readily available to the English speaking world. This translation is not intended to be an exact and perfect transcription. I am not a professional translator. I also believe in translation rather than transliteration, in order to convey the sense of the author rather than directly translate words from one language to another. Given my interests, I probably have a better idea of the author’s intention than a generalist translator who has no experience of occult matter. The venerable Frenchman who passed me a copy of this work asked me not to let it be published on the internet or to have it handed to anyone other than experienced Martinists. Although this work was openly published in 1948, I am sure the circulation was small, and when you read the contents you will no doubt understand his caution. The material was written during a period when R. Ambelain’s initial enthusiasm was replaced with a depressing cynicism, as he discovered that most of the romantic histories he had been told had no basis in fact. However, the reader can relax in the knowledge that scholarship over the past sixty years has gone a long way either to refute some of these finding or to uncover other avenues of research and possible lineages.

    T R C EMPLARS & OSE ROIX by Robert Ambelain Translated by Piers A. Vaughan (2005) Templars & Rose Croix, Translated by Piers A Vaughan © 2005 INTRODUCTION “You have no spouse nor fiancée?...” “You are not engaged in another Order, and have not pronounced other Vows?…” “You have no debt which, either yourself or by your friends, cannot be paid…?” “Are you healthy in body?...” “You have never given a promise of money to anyone concerning your admission to the Order?...? “You are the son of a Knight or Lady, and your parents were of a line of knights?...” “You are neither priest, nor deacon, nor subdeacon?...” “You are not excommunicated?...” (Preliminary questions. – Ritual of entrance into the Order of the Temple). “So rise, good Sirs, and pray to God and the holy Lady Mary….” (Ibidem). * * * The survival of the Order of the Temple has haunted our thoughts for a good three and a half centuries. Almost eight years of research and cross-checking between the two principle lineages have allowed us to make a choice. We now present, in these few pages, an attempt to justify this choice to a public fascinated by this perpetuation of the prestigious and passionate Militia. If it is possible to go back through the family genealogies of European nobility up to the 15th Century relatively easily, it becomes harder to investigate the 15th and 14th Centuries. And to reach the 13th and 12th Centuries one needs to make use of earlier works, written under the old regime, and preserved by old nobles. And what can we say about the almost insurmountable
