 | | The term "Martinist", referring to a particular type of mystical Masonry, is believed by some to come from Saint-Martin, while others maintain that it is from the converted Sephardi, Don Martinez de Pasqually, who worked with Saint-Martin for a time. |
 | | The main concern of the Martinists was to return man to his initial state "before the fall", using symbolic rites and communion with God. |
 | | It is interesting to note that Novikov, who was obsessed with ferreting out the one true Masonry, did not himself follow what he was told about it: in publishing his series of Masonic journals, as well as late establishing, with his Rosicrucian compatriots, certain groups to disseminate their teachings, he was proselytizing. |
