 | | The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, is known internationally by its traditional and authentic title, the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, from which is derived the acronym "AMORC." The Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis is the Latin form of the organizations name, which literally translates into Ancient Mystical Order of the Rosy Cross. |
 | | The Rosicrucian movement, of which the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, is the most prominent modern representative, has its roots in the mystery traditions, philosophy, and myths of ancient Egypt dating back to approximately 1500 B.C. In antiquity the word "mystery" referred to a special gnosis, a secret wisdom. |
 | | However, in all times and places, the Order never ceased its activities, perpetuating its ideals and its teachings, participating directly or indirectly in the advancement of the arts, sciences, and civilization in general, and always emphasizing the equality of the sexes and the true brotherhood of all humanity. |
