[edit] Merger
This page is almost exactly the same as Rose-Cross, although that page has a slightly better perspective on the origins from the Rosicrucians, which this page seriously lacks. However, since the subject of these two articles is essentially the same, these pages should be merged. --Jackhorkheimer 05:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
no i disagree - the rose cross and the rosey cross lamen as shown are two totally different items.
The rose cross is a christian symbol created to represent the rosicrucians as previously mentioned.
The rosey cross is a a lamen used my several magical traditions including the \Golden Dawn and even Wicca, but which actually predates christianity.

[edit] Merge
I say do the merge. The Rose-Cross and the Rosy-Cross are pretty much the same. One may make a distinction saying one is a drawing while one is a lamen (or pendant) but both are emblems of those persons who call themselves Rosicrucians. Eyes down, human. 03:44, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
