Good day to everyone,

I'm fairly new to this forum but upon digging through the many posts, I am exceedingly impressed by the wealth of Knowledge and experience here presented. I am a long time student of the esoteric and the Western Mystery Tradition with my feet in the abyss and my hands held heaven bound. A number of orders and affiliations like so many of you.

I have searched and searched and come up empty while looking for this rather scarce book of A.E. Waite. it is

" The Book of Life in the Rose" of 1928

containing the rituals of Waite's inner order of the FRC, that is the so called "Fraternitas Rosae Crucis, Ordo Sanctissimus Roseæ et Aureæ Crucis" or O.S.R. et A.C - the rituals in this book were later revised during 1937 to 43 being very close to the end of Waite's life, and were so named

Mysterium Briah and Mysterium Atziluth

I have all of the Ishtar publications, and obviously these are bot contained therein as those were published reprints of the FRC rituals before the book of life in the Rose was written, and so did not yet exist.

Any help would be immensely appreciated and I will do my part and upload some of the rare texts that I have collected over the years that may fit with others interests. I have great many texts from the Saturnian tradition in Germany, but alas these are mainly in German , and a host of other scarce English books and will, in the spirit of sharing, give unto the community as well.

My thanks to you all

Book Request Rule No. 5. "The request must reasonably be able to be fulfilled (don't ask for super rare books that are not digitized and obviously no one has access to them)"


Are you able to provide a link a link to that book? Is it one or two books (which is against the rules) you are requesting? It's mentioned in Waite's biography but is there a chance it ever crossed over to the internet?

Ah! Apologies— my first post and though I read the rules, perhaps I was hasty in my request—

I have no link to the book only to a page that shows its existence as published in 1928 .
it is one book but I know its contents were later revised as mysterium Briah and mysterium Atziluth and the request simply meant “any of these” would be greatly appreciated .

not having any more information than that, perhaps this book or material is indeed in the “too rare” category? I was going to upload a couple of images but saw that I can only upload web hosted links which I’m not overly familiar with doing .

not to worry , if this request was in violation I apologize and am happy to keep solo hunting — just thought this might be a place worth trying -/

my very good thanks to you for your help
