 A Brief History of Martinism
The very name Martinist conjures images of the mysterious and the unknown adept who has at his (or her) command occult powers and who studies "quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore." Martinists are known to be theurgists, alchemists, and Grailists.
The goal is for the Martinist to develop and live a Christian spiritual life and to become an adept in esoteric wisdom and practice, especially in Rosicrucianism.
Because the Martinist is theurgically empowered by The Initiation and because the Martinist carries the secret wisdom and knowledge of the Adept, it is no surprise that Martinism is considered by Initiates and non-initiates to be the very hub and spoke of esotericism and mystical wisdom.

 Ordre Martiniste et Synarchique
The origin of the Ordre Martiniste et Synarchique is found in the work and teaching of Martinez Pasquales (1727-1774), a French mystic, adept and theurgist.

Teder imposed Masonic prerequisites, e.g., a candidate had to be Master Mason (in the 3rd degree) of Memphis-Misraim before being able to receive the First Degree: the 18th degree, before receiving the 2nd degree and the 30th degree of the Rite of Memphis-Misraim to receive the Third Degree of Martinism.

 Notes
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.
