About the Order of the White Rose 

Amid the shifting sands of modern spiritual confusion, where so many voices clamor for attention yet few offer true illumination, there stands quietly—yet with radiant presence—the Spiritual Order of the White Rose. Founded in 1894 by the clairvoyant mystic and spiritual teacher Jesse Charles Fremont Grumbine, the Order embodies the luminous heart of esoteric universal spirituality, and serves as a vehicle for the unfoldment of the soul in its journey toward divine realization.

Grumbine, a renowned seer whose inner vision pierced the veil that separates the visible from the invisible, established this Order not as a church in the common sense, but as a living organism—a spiritual body rooted in the Eternal, ever flowering with the truths of the Inner Light. Through his mediumistic gifts, a lifetime of study and experimentation, and deep philosophical insight, he brought forth teachings that seamlessly weave together elements of ancient Gnosis, mysticism, and the higher aspects of Spiritualism into a luminous path of soul-awakening.

The White Rose, sacred symbol of the soul’s purity and divine unfolding, is not merely a poetic image—it is the living emblem of the spiritual transformation that lies at the heart of our tradition. Each petal, unfolding silently and inwardly, mirrors the gradual awakening of the divine spark within the seeker. Thus, to walk the path of the White Rose is to dedicate oneself to the continual expansion of spiritual consciousness, to the cultivation of clairvoyant wisdom, and to a life lived in harmony with the unseen but ever-present world of Spirit.

Our Order holds sacred the following tenets:

• The Divine Origin of the Soul – Each soul is a spark of the Infinite, bearing within it the seed of the Eternal, and destined to return consciously to that divine source.

• The Law of Spiritual Progression – Through successive lives and experiences, the soul ascends the spiral path of unfoldment, ever seeking the Light.

• The Reality of Spiritual Communion – The veil between this world and the next is thin, and the souls of the departed, if advanced, may commune with us and guide us on the path of truth.

• The Interior Revelation – Divine truth is not bound by dogma, but is revealed inwardly to the awakened soul. This inner light, the Logos, is the true Teacher.

• The Universal Brotherhood of Light – Beyond the veil exists a luminous communion of enlightened souls, the Elders of humanity, who in silence and mystery guide the evolution of the world.

Grumbine’s writings form the textual heart of our Order. Yet his legacy is not one of static doctrine, but of living inspiration. The teachings of the White Rose invite each soul to enter the inner sanctuary, to develop the faculties of spiritual sight and hearing, and to become, in time, a conscious participant in the Divine Work.

We welcome those who seek not merely belief, but gnosis—not merely ritual, but inner transformation. The path of the White Rose is for the quiet mystic, the solitary seer, the intuitive soul who has heard, in moments of silence, the whisper of the Infinite.

In this time of outward fragmentation, we offer the eternal center—the still point at the heart of the turning world. To the sincere seeker, we extend the White Rose.

“The soul is ever unfolding toward the Infinite. The path is not ahead of you, but within you.”
