  Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz
Christian Rosenkruetz begins his story, “One evening before Easter, I was sitting at table, having, as was my habit, my humble prayer to my Creator, and meditated on the many great mysteries which the Father of Light, in his majesty had allowed me to glimpse.
The second day Rosenkreutz is confronted with 4 paths, or possible ways to arrive at the wedding, choosing the correct path proves difficult, and then the path he takes is chosen almost “by accident”.
This experience was an important stage, and turning point of the “wedding” drama, and for which he must accept responsibility in the final, or 7th stage.

Christian Rosenkreutz, the Founder of the Rosicrucian Movement, is in our time the Keeper of the Gate, the spiritual leader of this modern age.
Christian Rosenkreutz does not follow the way of the mystic, but of the alchemist; while the mystic strives to come to spiritual truth by entering more deeply into his own being, the alchemist wishes to penetrate to the supersensible which is hidden behind Nature.
Only Christian Rosenkreutz, through the experiences of the night, knows the truth, that the coffins are but empty shells, and that the beings who died the previous day are already on their journey to the place of re-birth.

From this conversion, Rosicrucianism was born by fusing primitive Christianity with Egyptian mysteries.
The curious legend, in which the fabulous origin of the so-called society was enshrined (Christian Rosenkreuz had discovered and learned the Secret Wisdom on a pilgrimage to the East in the 15th century), was so improbable, though ingenious, that the genesis of the Rosicrucians was generally overlooked or ignored in the writings of the time.

 The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz - translated by Joscelyn Godwin
The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, often looked upon as the 'third Rosicrucian manifesto,' has an entirely different tone from the other Rosicrucian documents.
Unlike the Rosicrucian manifestos, which address the transformation of society, The Chemical Wedding is concerned with the inner transformation of the soul.
It is a deeply interior work, one which asks the reader to step into its world of symbols and walk with Christian Rosenkreutz along his path of transformation.

 Chymical Wedding - First Day
For whereas I before imagined, that to be a welcome and acceptable guest, I needed only to be ready to appear at the wedding, I was now directed to Divine Providence, of which until this time I was never certain.
Whereupon the trumpets began to sound again, which gave me such a shock that I woke up, and then first perceived that it was only a dream, but it so strongly impressed my imagination that I was still perpetually troubled about it, and I thought I still felt the wounds on my feet.
And thereupon in the presence of God I made a vow that if anything through his grace should be revealed to me, I would employ it to neither my own honour nor my own authority in the world, but to the spreading of his Name, and the service of my neighbour.

The "Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz" is the third Rosicrucian manifesto and written in a style that is very different from the two first Manifestos (The Fama Fraternitatis and the Confessio Fraternitatis).
Symbolically the "Chymical Wedding" describes the spiritual progression bringing the Initiate to achieve union between his soul (the bride) and God (the groom).
It was at this convention that Rosicrucian Imperator Christian Bernard introduced the Positio Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis, a document informing the public of AMORC’s position regarding today’s world situation, the dangers threatening it, and the future prospects we wish for all.

The reasons he is not known to traditional historians, foremost among which is the requirement of serving spiritually incognito, are obvious from these accounts which, however, asseverate his earthly reality first in the thirteenth century, when he was not yet known by such name, and then again in the fourteenth.

As we noted before, the De natura rerum of pseudo-Paracelsus refers to the "clarification" of a bird by combustion to ash which is in turn allowed to ferment into a "mucilaginous phlegm." The rebirth of the clarified bird from this phlegm is evidently a naturalistic explanation of the ancient Phoenix myth.
Andreae, the author of The Chymical Wedding, was a well-known Lutheran theologian and the composer of the utopian Christianopolis.
Thus one can also say The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosencreutz is actually a part of the rejection-rather than an affirmation-of the Paracelsian homunculus, despite its obvious debt to the literary tradition of Paracelsus indiccating simple that there where severral different schools of so called ‚Alchemy’.

The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz anno 1459), ISBN 0933999356, was edited in 1616 in Strasbourg (annexed by France in 1681), and its authorship is attributed to Johann Valentin Andreae.
It is the third of the original manifestos of the misterious "Fraternity of the Rose Cross".
This manifesto has been a source of inspiration for poets, alchemists and dreamers, through the force of its iniciatic ritual with all its procession of tests and of purification and death, resurrection and ascension and also by its symbolism found since the beginning with the invitation to Rosenkreutz to assist to this Royal Wedding.

 The Rosicrucian Order A.M.O.R.C. ­ Positio Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis
While making a rather negative statement about the general situation in Europe, it revealed the existence of the Order of the Rose-Croix through the allegorical story of Christian Rosenkreutz (1378-1484), beginning with his journey throughout the world before giving birth to the Rosicrucian Fraternity, and ending with the discovery of his tomb.
This seven-day journey took place for the most part in a mysterious castle where the wedding of a king and a queen was to be held.
Symbolically, the Chymical Wedding related the spiritual development which leads an Initiate to achieve union between his soul (the bride) and God (the bridegroom).
