EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and symbolic designs adorning the lid of the Pastos, located in the vault of the Adepts. Created by an anonymous English artist in 1895, this colored ink on paper artwork is a testament to the rich history and mysticism surrounding Christian Rosencreutz, the legendary founder of the Rosicrucian Order. The design features two distinct aspects of Christ: at its lower part, we see a representation of Jesus crucified, while at its upper part, Alpha & Omega symbolize his divine nature. These symbols held great significance within the Order of Golden Dawn, a magical Rosicrucian society that flourished in Great Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each new Adept joining this esteemed order would have these symbols explained to them as they embarked on their spiritual journey. The Adepts constituted the highest rank within this organization's hierarchy. Pastos itself was believed to be Christian Rosencreutz's tomb—a mythical resting place for this enigmatic figure. This image offers us a glimpse into both his legacy and profound teachings that continue to inspire seekers of esoteric knowledge today. Preserved in private collection until now, this remarkable piece invites us to delve into an era where symbolism and spirituality intertwined seamlessly—an era when secret societies sought enlightenment through ancient wisdom passed down through generations.
