A Journal of Traditional Symbolism, Hermeticism & the Occult Sciences

Godfrey Higgins

Godfrey Higgins, an Irish author and historical writer, is renowned for his extensive works on ancient symbolical and mythological history, examining the connections between different religious traditions and ancient civilizations. Higgins is best known for his seminal publication "Anacalypsis," where he explored the mysterious origins and symbolism of various cultures, particularly focusing on Serapis and the linkage of the German Rosicrucians to ancient Egyptian, Chaldean, and gymnosophist traditions. Within "Anacalypsis," Higgins proposed that the German Rosicrucians considered themselves descendants of these ancient cultures, linking their beliefs with the formation of the "Brotherhood of the Rose Cross." His research also encompassed the symbolism of the cross in ancient civilizations, as well as the constellations and the concept of the Great Man of the Universe, further enriching his exploration of universal religious and mythological themes. Higgins was noted for his belief that the "iodhan moran" was used to test the veracity of witnesses, reflecting his broader interest in ancient ceremonial practices and beliefs.
