ESOTERISMO E ARTE

A PERSPECTIVA EGÍPCIA INICIÁTICA DA ANTIGA E MÍSTICA ORDEM ROSACRUZ – AMORC

Abstract

Begging from different sources: bibliography, interviews and documents, mainly photographs, this study presents an overview of Egyptian art in the architecture, sculpture and painting of the Templar esotericism of the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis – AMORC. As bibliographical sources, to situate the esotericism practiced by the organization, classic references from the sciences of religion were used, as well as from the history and history of Egyptian art. AMORC's presentation, however, was guided by references of the order itself, since it is from this self-identification with Egyptian culture and mysticism that the search for the elements of Egyptian art materialized in the Templar constructions takes place. The study was initially guided by the architectural elements of the beginning of the 20th century in the USA, but it focuses on the art produced by the members of the Loja Rosacruz São Paulo – AMORC (LSP), the oldest in Brazil, because, following the example of what happened (and it happens) within the scope of sacred constructions, the materialization of the yearnings of their art is realized through the hands of their own members.
