It's one of three primary documents which announced and helped define who the secret society of Rosicrucians were. Presented here is a translated, condensed and modernized version of the original, which used heavily veiled language and is difficult to understand at times. The story is told with alchemical symbolism and deals with mystical initiation, and it has been the subject of serious occult study for centuries since its first appearance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 manifestoes, 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. Despite its importance as a key text of the Western esoteric traditions, this is the first ever contemporary English translation of The Chemical Wedding, made especially for this edition by Joscelyn Godwin. Also included in this edition is an introduction and commentary by Adam McLean, which illuminates the transformative symbolism.

Book excerpt: The 1616 classic treasure of Western esoteric wisdom, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (traditionally attributed to Johann Valentinus Andreae) is one of three key manifestos of the Rosicrucians and alchemists in general. It narrates a story of Christian Rosenkreutz, who was invited to a miraculous castle to assist in the "chemical wedding" of the king and the queen --the husband and the bride. Filled with alchemical metaphors, coded words, and images, Dennis Klocek describes --in his inimitable style --much of the profound meaning behind the colorful and surprising events throughout the seven-day "initiation" of Christian Rosenkreutz. Each chapter is devoted to one of the seven days, featuring an overview, followed by fresh translations of the original text, and illumined by Klocek's comprehensive and unique commentaries --all of which providies an accessible introduction to the real meaning behind the Rosicrucian path of inner development. "The Bridegroom is Christ, and the Bride is the human soul.... Right now, they might be engaged, but they will eventually become married; the universal issue is commitment. The Bridegroom is eager, but the Bride needs time to feel things out and commit to the union. If the true 'wedding' is to take place, the hopes and needs of both must first be balanced so that each is willing to commit to the other. A hesitant soul requires time to become willing to commit to anxiety-producing uncertainty, travail, and a whole lot of unknowing. Misunderstanding and the feeling of uncertainty that not knowing produces in the soul is exactly the challenge Christian Rosenkreutz faces again and again. This is the central motif in the book. Thus, the subtitle of The Alchemical Wedding: 'The Initiate of Misunderstanding.'" --Dennis Klocek

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty-first century, The Chymical Wedding by Johann Valentin Andreae continues to be acknowledged as a literary gem, an exceptional story written in the Western esoteric tradition. The story follows the narrator, Christian Rosenkreutz, on his path toward spiritual knowledge and inner transformation. The whole experience of what he first witnesses, then in which he participates, and finally for which he takes responsibility, profoundly challenges him. This is an important book for the present critical time of change that is facing humanity. We are witnessing the dazzling development of scientific and technological thought, yet modern thinking is ill equipped to solve the deeper human mysteries and the social questions. The Chymical Wedding invites the reader to transform the power of scientific thinking into new and more positive ways of viewing the world without losing one's clarity and certainty. The illuminating illustrations by David Newbatt--along with the text, which has been adapted to modern English--bring a fresh approach to this important alchemical tale. This beautifully illustrated edition can help awaken a better understanding of the Rosicrucian initiation path and the spirit and philosophy behind it. Beneath the veil of fascinating imagery in this book is a guide for developing a more meaningful inner life today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1888, this is Arthur Edward Waite's version of this important Rosicrucian publication. Although its authorship is anonymous, this allegorical story has been attributed to the theologian Johann Valentin Andreae. It is often connected with other Rosicrucian documents, including the Fama Fraternitatis and the Confessio Fraternitatis of the Rosicrucian Fraternity. This allegory tells the story of Christian Rosenkreutz's invitation to the wedding of the king and queen. During his seven day journey, Rosenkreutz experiences progressive tests, purification, and death. The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz is a romantic expression of the journey and eventual goal of the philosophy and practice of Alchemy. Arthur Edward Waite's translation is an adaptation and revision of that of E. Foxcroft, who translated the Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosencreutz into English in 1690.
