Arohn was the quarterly organ of the Holy Order of the Rose and Cross, a small 'independent Catholic' esoteric order founded in 1978 in Burlington, Washington — an offshoot of the Liberal Catholic Church that, like most wandering-bishop bodies, was preoccupied with proving its Apostolic Succession (from the Church of Antioch) while also claiming a Gnostic pedigree from the Ecclesia Gnostica of Papus and Jean Bricaud. Subtitled 'A Quarterly Journal of Esoterics, Gnosis, Christian Mysticism and Philosophy,' it mingled Jacob Boehme and the symbolism of the Mass with kabbalah and Tree-of-Life letter-mysticism (the title is Hebrew for 'Ark'). It engaged Aleister Crowley and the Thelemite Church chiefly to dispute their claim to a valid succession. Its 'Rose and Cross' is the name of the order rather than the Rosenkreutz current, and the paper reads as a liturgical, Christian-esoteric house journal at the fringe-Catholic / Gnostic frontier. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
