Introduction
W e have been asked what is the most valu­
able aid to the Rosicrucian student aside from
the official instructions. W e make the reply—
a common dictionary, and, if accessible, a pub­
lic library. Sometimes a student is especially
interested in one of the many subjects presented
in the curriculum of the A M O R C teachings and
desires to peruse it further. In each of us may
be found an unusual response to some one sub­
ject; it may be music, language, chemistry, phil­
osophy, psychology, art, or the classics of gen­
eral literature. W hen we contact that subject
that has an alluring appeal, we at once desire
additional matter along that particular line, and
more extensive and elaborate details. In the
A M O R C , Rosicrucian teachings the ulterior
motive is not to specialize in the various sciences
or arts, but to use them merely as illustrations
of certain principles, which we study in their
varied manifestations. W hen, for instance,
Greek philosophy has sufficiently illustrated a
principle, or several of them, we advance to the
next subject for further elucidation. Thus, those
students who wish to further refer to or inves­
tigate a subject may be enlightened on what
books they may secure from the public library,
which will give them the technical side, by
merely writing into the Supreme Secretary, who
can give you this information.
3
 However, there are those students who wish
further enlightenment on the application of some
particular Rosicrucian principles, or wish to
know how certain definite laws may be used
in a unique, personal way. Naturally, this
information cannot be secured from the pub­
lic library, or from general books, but re­
quires special treatises explaining the vari­
ous uses of the principles. Thus, the vari­
ous Rosicrucian books mentioned herein have
been actually brought about by the demand
upon the part of the members for the mat­
ter contained in them. Constant requests for
certain information in our correspondence has
shown the valuable service these special works
can bring about. Questions and requests have
been tabulated in our offices and these figures
have been used in the preparation o f ' these
books so that the books could serve the greatest
number of members in a practical way. Au­
thorities of the Rosicrucian Order have pre­
pared all the books on which the appellation
“A M O R C ” appears.
Every lecture and every grade of the Rosi­
crucian studies is prepared to present to you
the Rosicrucian principles with the object of
making you a master of them. The lectures are
a continuous chain of thoughts, laws, and prin­
ciples arranged into grades to assist in present­
ing them to you. The grades, however, do not
particularly indicate that a person in the sixth
grade is six times as far advanced as a person
in the first grade. The grades are arranged to
segregate principles into the proper categories,
4 S
not to divide students into classes; nevertheless,
one who has passed certain requirements from
grade to grade has advanced accordingly. Every
fundamental principle of metaphysics and scien­
tific unfoldment that is of real help, not mere
theory, is presented to you in these official
lectures.
Constant revision and the addition of new
matter to the lectures is carried on at headquart­
ers by a qualified staff under the supervision of
the Imperator. Members may be confident that
points of essential importance to their progress
will never be overlooked, necessitating them to
secure any additionl course of instruction. If it
is of value to the student, practical, and bene­
ficial, the student may be confident that it will
be included in his lessons, as it is the duty of
A M O R C to present you with such principles of
help. Therefore, the books herein mentioned are
valuable to the student, not as interesting works
to spend a few hours in reading, but as valu­
able guides and sources of authorative refer­
ence. These books are additional helps, of
G R E A T IM P O R T A N C E in aiding you to ap­
ply what you are receiving in the weekly lec­
tures.
You will note an interesting list of articles
under the head of "Sanctum Supplies.” These
articles are not only attractive in significant,
symbolic design, but are practical and, there­
fore, useful in the various experiments and sim­
ple initiations, and help to bring about the
proper atmospheric conditions in the sanctum.
Members have been obliged to try and secure
many of the mentioned articles in their own
locality, in many instances with unsatisfactory
results, or they have attempted to make them
at an exorbitant cost. The A M O R C Supply
Bureau, therefore, realized that they could sup­
ply exactly the needed articles for the students,
and forward them at a price more economical
than the student could secure elsewhere. As
these articles have been prepared upon the de­
mand of members, by constant requests as to
where they may secure them, we say we wish
to welcome your future suggestions.
If we have aided in serving you by sending
this little brochure, then we are justified in pre­
paring it and submitting it to you for your
kind use.

“R O S IC R U C IA N M A N U A L "
All members of our Order are advised that
this book will be of utmost help and value in
studying the work and principles of the Order.
W h y It Is Published
Ever since we published this manual of ref­
erence charts and explanations in 1918, there
has been continued requests for a second and
larger edition. Slowly, the Imperator and staff
gathered together all the matter desired by the
thousands or more members, who expressed in
detail what should be in such an unusual book.
W h a t It Contains
It is divided into a number of parts, each
complete and invaluable as a guide and for
reference work. The following is a partial list
of the contents: Complete explanation of all
the terms, signs, and symbols used in various
parts of the teachings; complete working man­
ual of all rules and regulations of the Order;
extracts from the constitution; descriptions of
the Temple Lodges and other parts of our as­
sembly places, with laws pertaining to convoca­
tions and symbolic ceremonies; a synopsis of
subjects covered beyond the National work and
Temple grades, which all students, whether at­
tending a lodge or receiving instructions by
7
mail, receive; chartsT diagrams, and illustrations
of the various lectures requiring such helps as
the laws of crystallography, magnetism, and an
explanation and illustration of the formation of
atoms and molecules; a complete Rosicrucian
dictionary of the terms used in all lectures;
Dalton’s experiments and chemical laws illus­
trated and explained; ancient and modern mys­
tical symbols explained and illustrated; special
articles fully explained; the origin of the
G R E A T W H I T E L O D G E and its existence;
how to attain Psychic Illumination, written for
this Manual by the Imperator; the Rosicrucian
code of life with 30 laws and regulations; bio­
graphical sketches of Rosicrucians; instructive
articles on such subjects as numerology and law
of numbers; and a number of portraits of promi­
nent Rosicrucians, including Master K. H., the
illustrious.
This book is not absolutely necessary to the
studies, but it is a simple, wonderful compilation
of facts and instructive matter which every
seeker upon Rosicrucian paths will value as an
extra aid to his advancement, and it will save
the expense of buying many smaller books, else­
where, for reference.
Price
The book is strongly bound with attractive
cloth binding, over heavy covers, and stamped
in gold. Single copies of the book, by mail any­
where in the United States of America, are
$2.30; in Canada or foreign countries, $2.40.
Rosicrucian Principles for the
Home and Business
Prepared by the Imperator, H. Spencer Lewis.
How many times have you desired some de­
tailed explanation of the specific use of the Rosi­
crucian principles in aiding you with your per­
sonal, every day problems? This book is spe­
cially prepared by the Imperator for that pur­
pose. It presents, in a very readable and under­
standable way, the many mystical laws, p sy ch o­
logical principles, and practical m ethods where­
by men and women may m aster conditions that
d eal with material problem s. Dr. Lewis has been
consulted on these subjects, for many years, by
thousands of business men.
C hapters o f the B o o k
The Truth about Affirmations, the Cosmic
and You, Mental Alchemy, Commanding Cos­
mic Help, Securing Money, The Attainment of
W ealth, Seeking Employment, Impressing Oth­
ers, and An Unusual Help in Need.
Practical Side o f It
The book answers thousands of questions re­
garding the securing of employment; raising
capital for business or social purposes; selling
property; improving the health; attaining fulfill­
ment of material dreams; attracting the help of
influential persons; and the promotion of busi­
ness.
The matter is new, convincing, exceedingly
practical, and inspiring. This book, since it does
9
 t
not contain secret teachings of the Order, may
be purchased by those who are not members of
A M O R C . It will be helpful to persons in all
stations of life.
Price
This book is attractively printed in clear type,
on soft paper, nicely bound in flexible style, and
stamped in gold; the price per copy, postage
prepaid, is $2.20.
“ Unto hee I Qrant”
This is one of the rarest, occult, mystical
manuscripts and books ever given to the public.
It contains some of the true, secret teachings of
Thibet, and the manuscript was written over
2,000 years ago. The first issue of this book
was translated with special permit of the Grand
Lama of disciples of the secret college of the
Grand Temple of Thibet, and authorized by the
Emperor of China. The soul of the rare writ­
ings, the spirit of the teachings, the sublime
beauty of expression, has not been altered or
modified, only the physical body, newer paper,
and new cover, have been added to the wonder­
ful elements still living and breathing in the
most sacred of manuscripts of the Temple of
the land of mystical, unknown beauty. Hun­
dreds of books have been written about the
teachings of the masters and adepts of the Far
East. Hundreds of men and women have at­
tempted to get near the walls of the sacred pre­
cincts of Thibet. M any attempts have been
made, and thousands of claims have been pre­
10
sented purporting to secure and reveal the in­
ner, secret, and sacred teachings of the Masters
in Thibet, who are considered to be the most
highly developed mystics on earth. But no au­
thentic copy of the teachings like this manu­
script has ever been given to the world.
Over 2,000 years ago it was written! It is
most generally believed to have been written by
Lao-Kiun. The very nature of the beautiful,
inspiring wording in the manuscript indicates
most strongly that Lao-Kiun was its author in
the years between 550 and 470 B. C .; and until
1749 A. D., it was read only by the high Initi­
ates in the Sacred College.
Price
This book is printed on heavy paper and
well-bound, and sold at a special price to mem­
bers of A M O R C , $1.50 per copy, postage paid
by us.

Members desiring Rosicrucian Emblems may
obtain them from Headquarters. They are made
of gold, beautifully inlaid with enamel, neat in
size, and consist of the triangle, surmounted by
the Egyptian cross. Men's style emblem with
screw back, $2.00. W om en’s style with patent
safety catch pin, $2.25.
A U TO EM BLEM S
W e have at last secured an emblem for your
car. W e have had many requests for an attrac­
tive emblem that members could attach to the
radiator of their car to serve the same purpose
as other fraternity emblems. These beautiful
Rosicrucian emblems are in the form of a tri­
angle surmounted on an Egyptian cross. They
are finished with duco enamel, which preserves
them against heat; the cross and triangle are
finished in gold, the rose in red, and stems and
leaves in green. It has a special arrangement,
permitting it to be fastened to the radiator of a
car. The size of the emblem is five and one-
quarter by three and one-quafter inches. They
are intended solely for use on automobiles and
are economically priced at $1.50, postage paid
by us.
R O S IC R U C IA N SEA LS
These Rosicrucian seals are about the size of
a twenty-five cent piece, beautifully printed in
red, and embossed gold, have the symbol of the
cross and rose, and the words “A M O R C , Rosi­
crucian Order, San Jose, California,” on their
face. These seals can be used by members on
letters or communications to friends or business
acquaintances. If you would like to spread the
name of the organization to your friends, and
at the same time have an attractive little seal for
your stationery, we would suggest that you se­
cure them. They may be had at the rate of fifty
cents per hundred, or practically what they cost,
postage paid by us.
"B IB L E O F B IB L E S ”
W e have been able to secure a book of lim­
ited edition, not generally sold on the open
market. It is called “The Bible of Bibles,” and
is the life work of Dr. Frank L. Riley, who is
12
an authority on sacred literature. The book
represents the fondest dreams of students of
occult literature. It is a composite Bible, con­
taining parallel excerpts from the greatest scrip­
tures of the world. It is not a commentary on
the Bible of the world, but the actual Bibles of
all the teachers and masters of wisdom, tracing
backwards for more than eleven thousand years.
It is non-secrtarian, and of unusual help to stu­
dents of our work, and of metaphysics in gen­
eral. A person would have to buy over sixty
volumes of rare and sacred writings to equal the
matter contained in this one book. The “Bible
of Bibles” was intended for private, limited cir­
culation, and therefore, is unusually well printed
on large-size, high grade, deckle-edged paper;
it is strongly bound, and contains four hundred
and thirty-two pages. The present price of
each volume is $8.00, and includes the pre-pay­
ment of expressage or postage by us. The book
comes in a box, which helps to preserve it, and
special packing care is taken to assure good
condition of the book upon its arrival. It is
very unlikely that another edition will ever be
printed because of the tremendous expense in­
volved. This is really a wonderful opportunity.
Special C opies of M agazine “R osae Crucis"
The “Rosae Crucis” magazine was one of
the earliest Rosicrucian publications in America.
This magazine is no longer being published;
but some are left in stock, and each contains
