THE ROSICRUCIAN LODGE IN CANADA ACCORDING TO SPENCER LEWIS

 

Harvey Spencer Lewis, the founder of AMORC, claimed that in September 1915 an important French Rosicrucian dignitary, Mr. Gérôme Vernier, sent him a letter in which, among other things, he wrote the following:

 

« I am visiting your magnificent Country and City in companionship and fellowship with the Supreme Magus (13th Illuminati A.M.O.R.C. England) and it gives to me the extreme pleasure to present to you the compliments of the Order R.C. en France and prey for an informal interview at either your home or at my hotel.

 

I rest assured that the Respected Secretary of our Grand Lodge has informed you of my unofficial visit to this country, and while I shall not be able to remain in New York City longer than several days (being en route with the Supreme Magus to the Canadian Grand Lodge) it will confer upon me pleasure to examine any reports you may have prepared and to tender any help or advice you feel may supplement the able instructions of our Supréme Concile. »

 

 

We see therefore that Mr. Vernier points out that in September 1915 there was already a Rosicrucian Grand Lodge in Canada and that is where he and his traveling companion were headed.

 

But how true is this?

 

 

It is very contradictory because Spencer Lewis had stated that the French Rosicrucians had entrusted him with the mission of reestablishing the Rosicrucian Order in America and for this mission Spencer Lewis had founded AMORC in April 1915 and had just opened his first temple in New York in March 1916. And therefore it does not make sense that eight months before there was already a Grand Lodge in the neighboring country.

 

And if this lodge existed.

 

So why didn't Lewis talk about it again in his subsequent writings?

 

Why didn't Lewis give the address of that lodge so American Rosicrucians could visit it?

 

Because you must know that the members of AMORC asked Lewis to give them truthful evidence about his legitimacy, then:

 

Why didn't Lewis ask Canadian leaders to visit him to show that he wasn't alone?

In this other chapter I show you that this letter was prepared by Lewis himself and therefore that Canadian Rosicrucian Grand Lodge was simply another of the many lies that Lewis invented (see link).
