Who is M.R. Osborne?
M.R. Osborne is a writer and public speaker known for his work on Christian mysticism, esotericism, and philosophical alchemy.
He has published books and articles on esoteric subjects including Rosicrucianism, early Masonic organisation and occult symbolism. A member of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) and present Director of Studies at Pythagoras College No.26, he currently edits the College Pamphlet Plus Quam Silentium. In 2018 he won the prestigious Order of the Companions of Christian Rosenkreutz (CCR) Award for a series of papers on The Lessons of Lyons of the Élus Coëns. He has written for the SRIA's Metropolitan Study Group, and Watkins Mind, Body and Spirit Magazine.
He is best known for his scholarly introductions to Rose Circle's four-volume series of early Martinezist manuscripts. His research focus has centred on the composition of the original Élus Coëns as a Catholic mystical fraternity. He contends that the goal of the Order in attempting the reinstitution of the theurgy of the Temple kōhānīm was doctrinally consistent with the Catholic Christian faith to which its members subscribed.
He regularly features in online podcasts and interviews, where he introduces his books and discusses the esoteric in general. A selection of the author's blogs are on available to read on

The author first encountered Martinism and Rosicrucianism on a personal journey of Christian spirituality. In them, he discovered a fascinating philosophy of early science and theology maintained by hidden organisations almost entirely unknown to mainstream society. The author aims to shed new light on these topics by writing on Rosicrucianism, Martinezism, and related research areas—for both newcomers and seasoned experts alike.
