The journal is said to have been published in 1927 in Valladona, Spain, but survives now only with 4/1 et seq., published in Berlin. It was continued (or revived) in Marburg, after Krumm-Heller's death, since an issue survives from 1952. This was the continuation of Arnoldo Krumm-Heller's Der Rosenkreuzer, published in his role as head of the Fraternitas Rosicruciana Antiqua and O.T.O. Xth degree for Mexico and Central and South America. Its early issues contained Krumm-Heller's recollections of South American and European travel and his is service on the Eastern Front during the war, but its function seems to have been to provide a few insights into sex and astrology and to promote his books and mention the success of various Rosicrucian lodges and of his Gnostic Catholic Church..

Claude-Generated Themes:   Rosa-Cruz was a Spanish-language Rosicrucian review whose Rosicrucianism is that of Eliphas Lévi rather than of any Masonic Rose-Croix degree. Its pages turn on the magician's will — 'nothing on earth resists a reasonable and free will; when the sage says I will, it is God who wills' — and on Kabbalistic and Pythagorean number-lore, where the 1 and the 0 become the Pythagorean ten and a patriarch's name hides a secret. A reformist morality of seven virtues against seven vices and a banner of liberty of conscience frame the esotericism, while Reichenbach's odic fluid supplies its physics. It is a document of ceremonial-magic occultism wearing the rose and cross.
