Great White Brotherhood
Great White Brotherhood
The group of superhuman adepts or masters who many Theosophists and other occultists believed guide the development of the human race. The brotherhood was occasionally associated with a "great white lodge" situated in astral realms. Modern Rosicrucians define the Great White Brotherhood as "the school or Fraternity of the Great White Lodge and into this invisible Brotherhood of visible members every true student of the Path prepares for admission." Current address unavailable.
