I'm a member of AMORC and am studying my monographs from home. There are no lodges near me (it would take me over 9 hours to get to one).
While the monographs have, in passing, mentioned the Rosicrucian apron, there hasn't been much talk about it, which made me wonder: do those of you who work mostly on your own (as opposed to physically going to lodge meetings) use a Rosicrucian apron? Why or why not?
I should say that I'm currently in the second atrium, so if there is more apron knowledge to come in my journey, I'm willing to wait. Aside from that, I'm eager to hear your thoughts!
If you look at a map of 95126, you’ll see a square excluded inside that area. It’s the Rosicrucian Museum campus and it (and only it) is 95191.

Introduction
I am well aware that what I am about to post will be disagreeable to some folks here. Therefore, if anything I say, does not ring true to you, feel free to reject it. I will not and have no desire to engage in rank intellectualism. I am, of course, always happy to discuss specific matters in PM, but it is not a matter proper for general comment.
Context
It can be perceived how difficult it has always been to know Rosicrucianism, since Johann Baptist von Helmont (1577-1644), Gottfried Wilhelm Liebniz (1646-1716), and others could discovery nothing about Rosicrucians.
Rosicrucian initiation is historically traced back to a book written at the beginning of the of the seventeeth centry. It is stated in this book that the Rosicrucians were concerned with alchemical as well as other matters, such as higher education. This can be read in the book Fama Fraternitatis. What Rosicrucianism really is cannot be found in this book because Rosicrucian secrets were passed on only through oral tradition. What has externally taken on the name Rosicrucian is not very well suited to fathom the essence of the Rosicrucians.
It has only been very recently, since a second war in heaven, that it has been permissible to actually write down some of the secrets of the Rosicrucians.
To that end, I will do another series on secret history of the Rosicrucians and the incarnations of Bro. Christian Rosenkreuz. But here, we are discussing the seven steps of Rosicrucian initiation. This will be considerably different from the various kabbalistic-hermetic orders that engage in ceremonial high magic, so again - if what I am about to say does not ring true to your soul, feel free to reject it.
Stage 1: Study
The first stage of study requires the student to have the patience to acquire certain concepts concerning the world. First, the student must learn from their teacher. As an example, they must study, with devotion, what elementary Theosophy can provide as a teaching. They must attempt to grasp these teachings as well as they can. Any

Sharing just so others in our greater Rosicrucian community are aware.
A group of Martinist and Rosicrucians are developing a new Facebook group in support of all Rosicrucian traditions.
Currently the best group for these communities is the wonderful Rosicrucian Tradition forum supported by Pansophers.com.
However, unfortunately the owners of that forum have expressed the desire to, in the future, lock it down in support of only their products and contributors. Thus would in effect end the most robust community of Rosicrucians on the internet.
In anticipation of this, a group of like minded fratres and sororos from that community just began building a new forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1061109028072877/?ref=share
Aspirants of the Rosy Cross (ARC)
Hello, I'm interested in joining Rosicrucian order. I did some research and found there are several branches of Rosicrucian order. Amorc seems to be the most famous one of them all. They do advertise themselves a lot unlike the other branches. Some of the people on Reddit post have said Amorc preaches new age bs and don't have anything to do with the original teaching of real Rosicrucian order. The fees in my region is quite high and so is the initiation fees, therefore I wanna be sure I'm getting into a right and genuine order. Is Amorc good? Are they genuine? If not what other branch of Rosicrucian shall I go for?
Anyone here know much about the Rosicrucian Fellowship?
I did a bit of looking around and their website is seriously outdated and hard to get around but had some interesting ideas.
I was curious do people consider the actual Rosicrucians? They seem a bit like their own religion with its own rules on its followers etc.
Would a follower of the be able to still do things like read tarot cards and practice magic?
I might be way off buy was just after some info. Even better if you are a member

The following excerpt begins at the base of page 11:
“Christian Rosencreutz died in 1484. To account for Rosicrucianism not having been heard of until 1604, it has been asserted that this supposed first founder of Rosicrucianism bound his disciples not to reveal any of his doctrines until a period of one hundred and twenty years after his death.
The ancient Romans are said to have preserved lights in their sepulchres many ages by the oiliness of gold (here steps in the art of the Rosicrucians), resolved by hermetic methods into a liquid substance ; and it is reported that at the dissolution of monasteries, in the time of Henry the Eighth, there was a lamp found that had then burned in a tomb from about three hundred years after Christ — nearly twelve hundred years. Two of these subterranean lamps are to be seen in the Museum of Rarities at Leyden, in Holland. One of these lamps, in the Papacy of Paul the Third, was found in the Tomb of Tullia (so named), Cicero's daughter, which had been shut up fifteen hundred and fifty years (Second edition of N. Bailey's [???] 1731).
Chapter The Third – Ever-burning Lamps
In the Papacy of Paul the Third, in the Appian Way, where abundance of the chief heathens of old were laid, a sepulchre was opened, where was found the entire body of a fair virgin swimming in a wonderful juice, which kept it from putrefaction so well, that the face seemed no way impaired, but lively and very beautiful. Her hair was yellow, tied up artificially and kept together with a golden circlet or band. Under her feet burnt lamps, the light of which was extinguished at the opening of the sepulchre. By some inscriptions found about the tomb it appeared that she must have lain there fifteen hundred years. Who she was was never known, although many con- cluded her to be ' Tulliola ', the daughter of Cicero. This discovery has been reported from various hands.
Cedrenus makes mention of a lamp, which, together with an image of Christ, was found at Edessa in the rei

Which is the relationship that different Rosicrucian Orders have among each other?
Do Brothers and Sisters recognize each other between different organizations?
