Bless Blessed Ceremonial Ceremony Freemasons Groups Mistress Reception Roses Societies
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a pivotal moment in the Egyptian Rite of Cagliostro, a ceremonial reception for the grade of Egyptian Mistress. The image captures the solemn and mysterious atmosphere of the gathering, as the ceremonial closure of the shutters reveals the blessed crown of roses. The recipient, dressed in ornate robes and adorned with symbols of the order, stands before the shutters with reverence and anticipation. The Egyptian Rite of Cagliostro was a branch of the Freemasons, known for its Egyptian-themed rituals and symbolism. The society, popular in the late 19th century, aimed to provide a social and spiritual outlet for its members. The use of the blessed crown of roses was a significant aspect of the Egyptian Rite, symbolizing the attainment of spiritual enlightenment and the connection to the divine. The ceremonial closure of the shutters and the drawing of a circle with a sword around the recipient marked the end of the reception and the beginning of the next stage of the initiation process. The circle symbolized the boundary between the mundane world and the spiritual realm, and the sword represented the power to protect and defend the sacred space. The photograph, taken in the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the secretive and intriguing world of the Egyptian Rite of Cagliostro and the rituals that bound its members together. The image's timeless quality and the rich symbolism of the ceremony continue to captivate and intrigue us, offering a window into the past and the enduring allure of the mysterious and the unknown.
