Los FRATRES LUCIS son los HERMANOS DE LA LUZ. Es una Comunidad moderna, creada en el anno 2000. Cualquier similitud con antiguas Comunidades de siglos pasados es efectuada a proposito, con la intencion de manifestar un nuevo Cuerpo del Egregoro de los Fratres Lucis. F.L. Fiducius.
Los Fratres Lucis "Hermanos de la Luz", Brother of Light, tambien conocidos Ritters des Licht o "Knights of Light" es considerada por algunos como un fragmento masonico de la Orden de la Rosa Cruz.
Referencias autenticas son escasas, Waites dedica un capitulo a los Fratres Lucis en su obra Hermandad de la Rosa Cruz donde comenta acerca de sus caracteristicas hermeticas.
En Inglaterra, Maurice Portman fundó la Orden de la Luz "Grande Lamaistic" (Fratres Lucis, 1882) que mezclaba la Kabbalah y de enseñanzas hindúes bajo influencia de Edward Bulwer-Lytton, autor de la novela oculta Zanoni (1842) Vice-Roy de la India. En 1884 Ana Kingsford y Edward Maitland, miembros de la sociedad de Theosophical formaron originalmente la sociedad hermética, que según el esoterista René Guenon, es una mezcla del cristianismo y de Buddhismo. También, la Orden del Amanecer de Oro Order of the Golden Down (MacGregor Mathers y mas tarde A. E. Waite), de Stella Matutina (Aleister Crowley), y de Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) de Karl Kellner fueron todas influenciadas por el aumento del interés estimulante y por la popularidad de la sociedad teosof ica que incorporó ideas indias y budistas en su esoterismo.
Les Fratres Lucis, fondés par lord Bulwer Lytton, d'où sortit l'Ordo Roris et Lucis ; l'Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, fondé en 1887 par S. L. Mathers, lequel comprenait cinq grades dont les quatre supérieurs formaient l'Ordre de la Rose Rouge et de la Croix d'Or ; vers 1900 Aleister Crowley se sépara de la Golden Dawn et fonda l' Astrum Argentinum où l'on pratique l'auto-initiation.

L Mathers, which include five ranks whose four superiors formed the Order of the Rose Rouge and the Gold Cross; about 1900 Aleister Crowley separated from the Dawn Golden delicious and founded Astrum Argentinum where car-initiation is practised.

Benjamin Cox, F.G. Irwin's fidus Achates, was born on 28 May 1828. When St. Kew Lodge No. 1222 was consecrated at the Assembly Rooms at Weston-super-Mare on 7 July 1868 - Irwin was its first W.M. - he was forty years of age and Chief Accountant of the local Board of Health at an annual salary of £180. He was later promoted to Town Accountant (Borough Treasurer).
BENJAMIN COX Y LOS FRATRES LUCIS.
Benjamin Cox, fidus Achates de F.G. Irwin, nacio el 28 de mayo de 1828. Cuando estaba en la Logia ST Kew No. 1222, fue consagrado en los Cuartos de la Asamblea en la Weston-super-Mare el 7 de julio de 1868 - Irwin era su primer W.M.(Venerable maestro) - él tenia cuarenta años edad y era el principal contable del tablero local de la salud con un sueldo anual de £180. Lo promovieron más adelante al contable de la ciudad (tesorero de la ciudad).
1917: What is Reuss (now living in the canton Tessin/Switzerland) referring to in the book advertisement at the back of his translation and publication of Aleister Crowley's "Gnostic Mass" when he announces: "The sexual in Theosophy and Anthroposophy, with the pledges of the leaders, in the original" ? Meanwhile, the O.T.O. equates itself with the "Hermetic Brotherhood of Light": evidence in Reuss' translation of the O.T.O. Gnostic Mass and in his VII*-ritual hint to the "Order of the Asiatic Brethren" as these Fratres Lucis.
Starting from 1917, Steiner categorically refuses to give private esoteric advice. In future, everything must happen in the light of the democratic public (away of isolation and mental elitism).
Levi, Eliphas. The real name of this learned Kabalist was Abbe Alphonse Louis Constant. Eliphas Levi Zahed was the author of several works on philosophical magic. Member of the Fratres Lucis (Brothers of Light), he was also once upon a time a priest, an abbe of the Roman Catholic Church, which promptly proceeded to unfrock him, when he acquired fame as a Kabalist. He died some twenty years ago, leaving five famous works -- Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (1856); Histoire de la Magie (1860); La Clef des grands Mysteres (1861); Legendes et Symboles (1862); and La Science des Esprits (1865); besides some other works of minor importance. His style is extremely light and fascinating; but with a rather too strong characteristic of mockery and paradox in it to be the ideal of a serious Kabalist.
Levi, Eliphas. El nombre verdadero de este docto cabalista era Constante de Abbe Alphonse Louis. Eliphas Levi Zahed era el autor de varios trabajos sobre magia filosófica. Miembro del Fratres Lucis (hermanos de la luz), él fue también una vez sobre una época sacerdote, un abbe de la iglesia católica, lo revoco, cuando él adquirió fama como Cabalista. Murió hace circa veinte años, dejando cinco trabajos famosos -- Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (1856); Histoire de la Magie (1860); La Clef des Grands Mysteres (1861); Legendes et Symboles (1862); y La Sciences des Esprits (1865) ; además de algunos otros trabajos de menor importancia. Su estilo es extremadamente ligero y fascinador; pero con una característica algo demasiado fuerte del mofa y de la paradoja en ella a ser el ideal de un cabalista serio.
Light, Brothers of. This is what the great authority on secret societies, Brother Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie IX., says of this Brotherhood. "A mystic order, Fratres Lucis, established in Florence in 1498. Among the members of this order were Pasqualis, Cagliostro, Swedenborg, St. Martin, Eliphaz Levi, and many other eminent mystics. Its members were very much persecuted by the Inquisition. It is a small but compact body, the members being spread all over the world."
Mesmer, Friedrich Anton. The famous physician who rediscovered and applied practically that magnetic fluid in man which was called animal magnetism and since then Mesmerism. He was born in Schwaben, in 1734, and died in 1815. He was an initiated member of the Brotherhoods of the Fratres Lucis and of Lukshoor (or Luxor), or the Egyptian Branch of the latter. It was the Council of "Luxor" which selected him -- according to the orders of the "Great Brotherhood" -- to act in the XVIIIth century as their usual pioneer, sent in the last quarter of every century to enlighten a small portion of the Western nations in occult lore. It was St. Germain who supervised the development of events in this case; and later Cagliostro was commissioned to help, but having made a series of mistakes, more or less fatal, he was recalled. Of these three men who were at first regarded as quacks, Mesmer is already vindicated. The justification of the two others will follow in the next century. Mesmer founded the "Order of Universal Harmony" in 1783, in which presumably only animal magnetism was taught, but which in reality expounded the tenets of Hippocrates, the methods of the ancient Asclepieia, the Temples of Healing, and many other occult sciences.
KT Mesmerism. The term comes from Mesmer, who rediscovered this magnetic force and its practical application toward the year 1775, at Vienna. It is a vital current that one person may transfer to another; and through which he induces an abnormal state of the nervous system that permits him to have a direct influence upon the mind and will of the subject or mesmerized person.
"…a parallel tradition running through the eighteenth century Fratres Lucis and Asiatic Brethren on the one hand, and Cagliostro's Egyptian Rite (androgynous) Freemasonry on the other. These fuse with primordial Egyptian traditions during the Napoleonic conquests in Egypt, passed on to Metamon, Theon, Levi, Randolph, Davidson and other nineteenth century luminaries, down to Papus, Reuss, Kellner and, eventually, Aleister Crowley and his successors and heirs within OTO."
Die Brüder des Lichtes Die Fratres Lucis
Die Fratres Lucis bilden eine mystische Organisation zu der die größten
Eingeweihten unseres Planetensystemes gehören. Zu dieser Gemeinschaft kann
einzig derjenige gehören,
welcher gelernt hat, die Prinzipien der drei ersten Teile des Buches der
Weisheit anzuwenden.
Erst nachdem sie bewusst ihre egoistische Persönlichkeit abgelegt haben, ist es
diesen Menschen,
die so den höchsten Grad der magischen Entwicklung seit dem Beginn der
Menschheitsentwicklung erreicht haben, möglich, in diese Gemeinschaft
einzutreten.
Die Fratres Lucis vollbringen regelmässig wichtige Aufgaben, um die Entfaltung
der Menschheit
zu begünstigen, ohne sich jedoch dieswegen inkarnieren zu müssen.
Sie bilden eine Gesellschaft, die auf hierarchischen Stufen aufgebaut ist,
die dem Vollkommenheitsgrad ihrer Mitglieder entsprechen.
An ihrer Spitze wirkt der Erste Eingeweihte, der den Rang eines Mahatma inne
hat.
Dieser ist der Stellvertreter der Göttlichen Ordnung und der Hüter aller
Mysterien.
Er wird nach seinem hierarchischen Grad "Urgaya" genannt, der "weise Mann des
Berges"
oder der "Alte Meister". Er war der erste Eingeweihte seit dem Beginn der
Zeiten,
aber er inkarniert sich sehr selten. Gewöhnlich wird es nur für sehr kurze Zeit
gewahr,
um dem einen oder anderen der Fratres Lucis einen Rat zu erteilen.
Zwölf Adepten sind dem "Alten Meister" untertan. Sie haben die höchste
spirituelle Vollkommenheit erreicht und übernehmen ebenso die schwierigsten
Aufgaben.
Sie inkarnieren sich nur sehr selten, da sie im Allgemeinen aus der
elektromagnetischen Zone,
die unseren Planeten umgibt, wirken; dennoch, nimmt der Eine oder der Andere von
Ihnen, ...
The brothers Light , the Fratres Lucis
The Fratres Lucis form a mystiscal organization to that the largest inaugurating of our planet system belong. To this community that can only belong, who learned to use the principles of the three first parts of the book of the wisdom. Only after they put consciously their egoistic personality down, it is possible for this humans, who achieved so the highest degree of the magic development since the beginning of the mankind development, to occur this community. The Fratres Lucis achieves regularly important tasks, in order to favour the development of mankind, without having to inkarnieren itself however this because of. They form a society, which is developed on hierarchical stages, which correspond to the perfection degree of their members. At its point works the first inaugurating, which has the rank of a Mahatma. This is a deputy of the Goettlichen order and the guardian of all Mysterien. It is called after its hierarchical degree of "Urgaya", "points man of the mountain" or the "old person the master". It was the first inaugurating since the beginning of the times, but it inkarniert itself very rarely. Usually will it only for very short time more aware of, in order to give or others the Fratres Lucis an advice. Twelve Adepten are the "old person masters" subject. They achieved the highest mirror-image-ritual perfection and to take over likewise the most difficult tasks. They inkarnieren themselves only very rarely, since they work generally from the electromagnetic zone, which surrounds our planet,; nevertheless, the one or the other one takes from you,...
But there are, and have ever been, the real Hierophants and
Custodians of the Mysteries. Carefully concealing their
existence from the general public, they are able to move to and
fro without let or hindrance, and themselves, or in the person of
their trusted and obedient agents, take part in all that tends to
promote the harmony and welfare of humanity. In this connection
compare THE THEOSOPHICAL GLOSSARY by Madame Blavatsky, under the
heading of "Mesmer," a part which I know to be from the pen of
HPB.

The Brothers of these orders (and especially that called the
"Great Brotherhood") are the custodians of the Mysteries, and
they keep alive in the heart of humanity the flame which purifies
man, and leads him from the degradation of materiality, to the
knowledge of the real essence of nature.
The word MYSTERIES has its origin in the Greek MUO "to close the
mouth," a symbol at once of secrecy or silence, and of hidden
meaning. Plato, and other sages of antiquity affirm that the
Mysteries were highly religious, moral and beneficent as a school
of ethics. They were observances kept secret from the "profane"
or uninitiated, in which:
> were taught by dramatic representation and other methods, the
> origin of things, the nature of the human spirit, its relation to
> the body, and the method of its purification and restoration to
> higher life. Physical science, medicine, the laws of music,
> divination, were all taught in the same manner. The Hippocratic
> oath was but a mystic obligation.

Deze Orde zou zijn ontstaan in 1498 te Florence ( Italië ). Deze ‘Fratres Lucis’
zijn ook bekend onder de naam ‘Aziatische Broederschap (of initiërende
broederschap) van de Zeven Steden in Azië’. Deze Orde vond haar ontstaan uit de
‘Aureae Crucis Fratres’ ( de Gouden Rozekruisers ) uit Duitsland die haar
geschiedenis heeft tot in de tweede helft van de 18° eeuw.

The Brothers of Light also known as the Ritters des Licht, or Knights of Light was supposed to be a Masonic Rosicrucian splinter of the Order of the Rosy Cross, but authentic information concerning it is difficult to obtain. This book includes the rituals of Knight Novice of the Third year, Knight Novice of the Fifth Year, Knight Novice of the Seventh Year, Knight Levite and Knight Priest, as well as an introductory chapter on the order from A.E. Waite's Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross which comments on its many Hermetic characteristics.
