Golden Rosicrucians

Japanese: 黄金・薔薇十字団 - おうごんばらじゅうじだん
Golden Rosicrucians

...However, even after the Thirty Years' War, the hidden current continued, and the Rosicrucian movement in the early 17th century gradually moved into a second phase, which "seemed to be an overly idealistic and overblown version of the original order" (H.
