"A mystical order, Fratres Lucis, established in Florence in 1498. Among the members of this order were Pasqualis, Cagliostro, Swedenborg, San Martín, Eliphaz Levi and many other eminent mystics.

Mesmer, Friedrich Anton. The famous doctor Who rediscovered and applied practically that magnetic fluid in the man who was called animal magnetism and, since then, Mesmerism. He was born in Schwaben, in 1734, and died in 1815. He was an initiated member of the brotherhoods of the Fratres Lucis and of Lukshoor (or Luxor), or the Egyptian branch of the latter. It was the Council of "Luxor" that selected it-according to the orders of the "Great Brotherhood"-to act in the eighteenth century as its habitual pioneer, sent in the last quarter of every century to illuminate a small portion of the Western nations in the hidden knowledge. It was St. Germain who oversaw the development of events in this case; And later Cagliostro was commissioned to help, but having made a series of mistakes, more or less fatal, was called.
