Francis Bacon Secret Founder of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood

Francis Bacon Secret Founder of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood:
Author of its Anonymous Manifestos : The Fama & The Confessio & The Chemical Wedding

Rosicrucian literature, not unlike the literature which surrounds Francis Bacon and that which concerns the Shakespeare authorship is a truly veritable maze. The serious inquirer when unfashionable truth is the objective, can fully expect to be frustrated at every turn. It takes on the form of a veritable Pandora’s box where all infinite manner of devices are subtlety deployed to confuse the way of the inquirer. The hazy mist enveloping the Rosicrucian Brotherhood is not only thickened by their relative silence but is further compounded by other sources sharing a common desire in concealing the truth. A truth so profound in its consequence for humanity and western civilisation as to be almost inconceivable. To further confuse the investigator the Rosicrucians themselves and their antagonists have seen fit throughout the centuries to change shape and form, acquiring new skins, if and when the circumstance demanded, and on occasion the one perhaps has gone so far as to adopt the apparel of the other.

Francis Bacon & his Secret Authorship of the Universal Reformation

by A Phoenix

While at Cambridge Bacon conceived of raising from its foundations a universal system of knowledge, that needed to be carried out for the most part in secrecy. To help ensure the success of his magnificent grand vision Bacon founded the Rosicrucian Brotherhood. Henceforth in secret Bacon began to put in place a machine that in and beyond his lifetime would encompass an enduring world-wide renaissance for the purpose of laying eternal bases for humanity, to achieve his dream of a Universal Reformation of the Whole World.

Francis Bacon and His Rosicrucian Manifesto

by A Phoenix

Francis Bacon and His Rosicrucian Manifesto :
New Atlantis (Land of the Rosicrucians)

In 1626 Dr Rawley issued Sylva Sylvarum: Or A Natural History in Ten Centuries (sylva means wood or forest & sylva sylvarum a collection of materials for building the new science) to which is appended Bacon’s utopia New Atlantis, a philosophical and scientific blueprint for the Universal Reformation of the Whole World. The title page is framed within two Freemasonic Pillars. It is divided into ten centuries and consists of one thousand paragraphs relating to natural causes and phenomena in a compendious natural history drawn from various sources. Among other things Bacon discusses the prolonging of life a dream long cherished by himself and his Rosicrucian Brotherhood.

Becoming Shakespeare : The Making of a Genius

The Shakespeare Game

New A Phoenix work:

Based on a groundbreaking and revelatory new literary biography covering the virtually unknown part of Bacon’s early life and exploring the extraordinary developing mind that culminated in the Shakespeare works. It reveals Bacon’s royal origins and highlights how his formative years were heavily influenced by the formidably creative, intellectual and political environment of his foster family. Francis Bacon was writing poetry and drama from a very early age, developing his craft behind a series of literary masks as he became Shakespeare.

Francis Bacon and his Literary Mask Edmund Spenser

New book by A. Phoenix

Francis Bacon and his Literary Mask Edmund Spenser

Francis Bacon and his Spenserian Mask

This book shows that Francis Bacon was the actual author of the works traditionally attributed to Edmund Spenser. The work provides a detailed examination of Bacon’s hidden involvement in Elizabethan literature, claiming he utilised various “literary masks” to disseminate secret political and philosophical messages. Central to this theory are the cryptographic devices, anagrams, and numerical ciphers embedded within titles such as The Shepheardes Calender and The Faerie Queene. The book also explores Bacon as the secret son of Queen Elizabeth, using his poetry to navigate the dangerous complexities of the royal succession and his disinherited status. Furthermore, it highlights Bacon’s foundational role in Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, suggesting these societies were instruments for his broader intellectual and philanthropic ambitions. Ultimately, the material portrays Bacon as a polymathic genius who orchestrated a vast “conspiracy of silence” to conceal his multifaceted influence on English history.

Francis Bacon: the Secret Concealed Author of the Works Attributed to Christopher Marlowe

There are many parallels between the Marlowe & Shakespeare Works.

However, the reasons are NOT because:

    • Shakespeare was influenced by Marlowe
    • Marlowe wrote Shakespeare
    • Marlowe & Shakespeare collaborated

The reason is the Marlowe and Shakespeare Works share a common author and it’s not Marlowe or Shakespeare, it’s Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon & the Secret Translation of Plutarch’s Lives

Book by A. Phoenix

Francis Bacon, his Literary Mask Sir Thomas North, and the Secret Translation of Plutarch’s Lives (1579), a Major Source for his Shakespeare Plays

Thomas North was a literary mask for Francis Bacon for the great masterpiece of English prose Plutarch’s Lives.

Francis Bacon, his Literary Mask Sir Thomas North, and the Secret Translation of Plutarch’s Lives (1579), a Major Source for his Shakespeare Play

Throughout Bacon’s acknowledged works he refers frequently to Plutarch and Plutarch is a critically important source for many of the Shakespeare plays. It is little known that the North and Bacon families had close and longstanding links and the relationship between Francis Bacon and Thomas North is obscured because of the Shakespeare connection. The close proximity between Plutarch’s Lives and the Shakespeare works is far greater than ever before known in that they both share a common translator and author; namely, Francis Bacon.
