2. About M.R. Osborne (1)

Created on: 2024-10-19

Osborne has written over a dozen published works on the intersection of Western esotericism with Christian orthodoxy. He has examined the alchemical nature of William Blake's art; [1] and theoretical connections between purported haunting and time-slip phenomena. [2] His book Brazen Serpent: Chaos and Order [3] analysed occult concepts in the biblical Nehushtan myth and the 23 enigma.

Osborne is best known for his collaboration with Rose Circle Books in the publication of English language editions of eighteenth-century manuscripts derived from the Order of Knight-Masons Elect Priests of the Universe. These include the Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings of Martinez de Pasqually; The de Grainville Manuscripts (otherwise known as the Manuscript of Algiers); and the treatise of the Abbé Fournié's What We Have Been, What We Are, And What We Will Become.

Masonic Grand First Principal of New York State, Piers Allfrey Vaughan, described his work as "Well-researched and well-written." [4] Montreal-based broadcaster Jonathan Stewart of the Gnostic Wisdom Network Channel regarded the publication of Fournié's treatise into English as “a book we've been wanting to read for more than a decade.” [5] Canadian scholar Nicholas Lecerf of Akademi Sokak, Turkey, wrote a review of The Most Holy Trinosophia in Via-Hygeia, and stated, "Michael Robert Osborne in his deliberately concise but charitable introduction leads us through selected symbols & sacred figures the reader meets as he unfolds the pages of the manuscript." [6]

Osborne is a Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) member and Director of Studies at Pythagoras College. In 2018, he won the SRIA's prestigious Companion of Christian Rosenkreutz Prize for his research papers on The Lessons of Lyons. He contributes to Watkins' Mind, Body & Spirit Magazine, an internationally recognised publication of various subjects from contemporary spirituality to mysticism.
