About us

Dear Unknown Friend,

The Philosophers of the Living Fire is a Christian Hermetic Brotherhood, or simply Rosicrucian Order, with roots going back to the 1600s, and operating publicly in the late 1800s and early 1900s, before temporarily ceasing to function as a public order. The last attempt to revive it occurred in the 1950s, by Bishop John Chrysostom More-Moreno, who was also know as Mar Shimun. Mar Shimun passed away before completing this effort.

In early 2024, Enoch Boone resolved to make these teachings available again, feeling that times such as these call for spiritual help and that not all human beings find their answer in the traditional forms of religion. Enoch was raised with this tradition of Christian Hermeticism and was initiated into these mysteries by his stepfather, who was a student of Mar Shimun.

It is the intention of the Philosophers of the Living Fire to build a new temple & retreat center somewhere in the Four Corners area of the American Southwest. We hope to create a healing and restorative center of spirituality for weary souls seeking respite from the modern world.

Namaste.
