The Three Schools of Magick 
(3) 
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 
There is in history only one movement whose object has 
been to organize the isolated adepts of the White School of 
Magick, and this movement was totally unconnected with 
religion, except in so far as it lent its influence to the 
reformers of the Christian church. Its appeal was not at all to 
the people. It merely offered to open up relations with, and 
communicate certain practical secrets of wisdom to, isolated 
men of science throughout 
Europe. This movement is 
generally known by the name of Rosicrucianism. 
The word arouses all sorts of regrettable correspondences; 
but the adepts of the Society have never worried themselves 
in the least about the abuse of their name for the purposes of 
charlatanism, or about the attacks directed against them by 
envious critics. Indeed, so wisely have they concealed their 
activities that some modem scholars of the shallower type 
have declared that no such movement ever existed, that it 
was a kind of practical joke played upon the curiosity of the 
credulous Middle Ages. It is at least certain that, since the 
original proclamations, no official publications have been put 
forward. The essential secrets have been maintained inviolate. 
If, during the last few years, a considerable number of 
documents have been published by them, though not in their 
name, it is on account of the impending crisis to civilisation, 
of which mention will later be made.
