The Martinist Order is a spiritual movement that emerged in the late 18th century through the work of Louis Claude de Saint Martin, a French philosopher and mystic. This movement offers a way to transcend the material world and connect with a divine reality.

The term "Martinist" was first used in 1783 by L.S. Mercier in Paris to refer to those who admired the works of Saint Martin. Saint Martin himself also used the term to refer to Russian Martinists associated with the Rectified Scottish Rite in 1792, and later to refer to certain French Freemasons in 1798. This demonstrates the rich and varied historical roots of Martinism. Martinism is open to all those seeking spiritual elevation. Martinists see themselves as seekers of truth, perceiving the earthly world as a reflection of the celestial world. Their spiritual approach is based on the idea of freeing oneself from matter through a series of transformations, to finally find a state of harmony with the divine, a state that the soul would have known before losing its way.

Two fundamental concepts guide the Martinist Order: love and knowledge. These two pillars are essential because they serve as the foundation for an enlightening inner knowing. For Martinists, this knowing helps each person reconnect with their origins and understand their true nature.
In Martinism, knowing is not just intellectual or theoretical knowledge. It is a personal experience, an inner journey that allows each individual to discover their deepest essence and recognize their connection with God. This means that each individual must undertake an intimate quest to know their essence and recognize their connection with God. Martinists believe that God resides within each of them, just as they are within God. This understanding reinforces the idea that humankind possesses an innate divinity.

Martinism was described by Papus as the “Cardiac Way,” that is to say, a unitive way which harmoniously integrates intellect, feeling and action.

The Martinist Order offers a spiritual path that invites profound reflection on the human condition, encouraging each person to discover their divine nature and reconnect with the celestial order from which they come. Through this path, Martinists embark on a transformative journey, seeking to live a harmonious and spiritually fulfilling existence.
Two fundamental concepts guide the Martinist Order: love and knowledge. These two pillars are essential because they are the basis of gnosis, an inner and enlightening knowledge. For Martinists, this gnosis allows individuals to remember their origins and their true nature.

In Martinism, work leads to personal revelation rather than the accumulation of bookish knowledge. This means that each individual must undertake an intimate quest to understand their essence and recognize their connection with God. Martinists believe that God resides within each of them, just as they are within God. This understanding reinforces the idea that man possesses an innate divinity.

In conclusion, the Martinist Order offers a rich spiritual path focused on love and knowledge. Drawing on a theosophical and gnostic tradition, it offers a profound perspective on human life, encouraging each person to explore their divine nature and reconnect with the celestial order from which they come. Martinists thus embark on a transformative journey, seeking to live a harmonious and spiritually fulfilling existence.
