The '''[[Rosicrucian]]s''' are a spiritual and cultural movement that arose in Europe in the early 17th century after the publication of several texts announcing to the world a new esoteric order. Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross or Rose Cross.
'''[[Ritual magic]]''' (also called ceremonial magic, high magic or learned magic) encompasses a wide variety of rituals of magic. The works included are characterized by ceremony and numerous requisite accessories to aid the practitioner. Popularized by the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], it draws on such schools of philosophical and occult thought as [[Kabbalah|Hermetic Qabalah]], [[Enochian]] magic, [[Thelema]], and the magic of various [[grimoire]]s. Ritual magic is major element in [[Hermes Trismegistus|Hermeticism]] and [[occult]]ism.


In later centuries, many esoteric societies have claimed to derive from the original Rosicrucians. The most influential of these societies has been the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], which derived from Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia and counted many prominent figures among its members. The largest is the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, a multinational organization based in San Jose, California.
