And why should you care? Well, its been rumored for a while now, that their teachings are hidden throughout William Shakespeare's plays. That's right, and also, many of their symbols and doctrines are found in modern day media, such as movies, t.v., and video games.

Rosicrucianism is a philosophical secret society said to have been founded in late medieval Germany by Christian Rosenkreuz. It holds a doctrine or theology "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm."[1] Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross.
