Martinism is a secret mystical and esoteric theosophy, a way of life, and an intiatory path devoted to the revelation of the spiritual origin and powers of Mankind. It is a path open to all those who seek the Truth, and to become who they are, regardless of gender, belief, sexual preference or religious denomination.

It is a 250 year old western tradition that aims to empower all seekers of enlightenment, the “men and women of desire” to return to the divine spiritual state that seem lost in our current state of material prison.

This enlightenment that our ancestors called Reintegration, is attained through initiation into the ‘Secret Tradition of the West’.

This spiritual current is as old as time immemorial. Enkindled by the divine fire that burns within man, inspiring him to better himself, rise above his own illusions, and regain what he once lost; freedom from the chains put upon him in his current state of material privation.

The martinist order of Ordre Reaux Croix is devoted to the perpetuation of this tradition, and is today active in Norway, Sweden, Canada, Argentina, Spain, USA and England. The O.’.R.’.C.’. teaches through personal instruction, studies, meditation, ceremonial magic, inner alchemy and the integration of all these esoteric disciplines into the soul and psyche of the seeker. Studies in the order begin by initiation into the Voie Cardiaque, and after a time of mystical and contemplative work, the aspirant can chose to work with magical and philosophical branch of the tradition, the Elus Coëns and C.’.B.’.C.’.S.’. as described below.

Several well-known cultural figures were martinists, such as Czar Nicholas II of Russia, enlightenment fighter Nicholaj Novikov, the occultists Compte de Saint-Germain, Eliphas Levi, Arthur Edward Waite, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, John Yarker, Theodor Reuss and Gerard Encausse – Grand Masters of the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) , Augustine Chaboseau, Emile Dantinne. Esoteric writers such as Julius Evola, J.I. Wedgwood, the writers Hermann Hesse, Honorè Balzac, Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Joséphin Péladan, Margaret Peeke, painters Arnold Böcklin and Pamela Coleman Smith, musicians Claude Debussy and Édith Piaf.

The aim of the order is to restore Man into his former glory, thus once again re-enter his former and right position in the celestial hierarchies. This is acheived by use of invocation and cooperation with spiritual enteties that might be called angles. This interaction takes place in theurgical operations of ceremonial magic. The macrocosmic work of the order is to reintegrate all beings into their former virtues and powers, to the glory of God, the Monad, and to the benefit of Man.

Ordre Reaux Croix is a martinist order established in 2002, on the 250th anniversary of the founding of the Elus Cohens of Martinez de Pasqually. O∴R∴C∴ is an international Order, with its Grand Lodge in Norway, and jurisdictions in Sweden, Canada, Argentina, Spain, Greece and England.

The teachings of the order, is based on three pillars: christian mysticism, kabbalah, and martinism as established by Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, Martinez de Pasqually and Jean-Baptiste Willermoz.

As opposed to many contemporary martinist orders, the teachings of the O∴R∴C∴, both current and forthcoming, based directly on the teachings of the former. It is thus transmitted within the framework of Christianity. Nevertheless, the order invites ‘all men and women of desire of goodwill, and a belief in a divinity’, independent of religious denomination.

These teachings are transmitted from one person to another in an Oratory or a Temple, and all matters of our work is based on a close relationship between teacher and student.

The tradition stems from and incorporates authentic lineages and material from the Elus Cohens, C∴B∴C∴S∴, Ordre Martiniste, and the Russian Martinists and Theorists.
