RMM-087: Martinism Enters the Mainstream!

Once a discreet Order plying a humble  praxis in silence, meant to engender the beatific vision, Martinism is becoming more vocal. Following a split in one of the larger obediences in the U.S., recent recruiting efforts have brought Martinism to bear as solicited candidates reach out to the Grand Encampment asking, "What is this Order?", "Is it Masonic?" and "Can I join?" At the request of the Grand Master of the Grand Encampment, we detail the history of the founding – and some of the transmissions and fractures – of this often misappropriated and misrepresented system of Christian mysticism.
