Just wondering how some of you pronounce a few of these words:
Rosicrucian Rose Croix Quatuor Coronati Gnosticism Rite Ecossais Rectifee Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia Hermes Trismegistus Gematria Enoch
Try spelling them phonetically as you'd say them.

I'll have a stab at a few of them Rosicrucian = Ros-e-crusey-en
Rose Croix = Rose - Quah
Gnosticism = Nos-tis-em
Enoch = E-nock

Here's my tuppenceworth...
Rosicrucian = Ros- eh - croos - yan Rose Croix = Rose - Qurah Quatuor Coronati = Kwa - too- or Coron - ah - ti Gnonsticism = Nos - tis - ism Rite Ecossais Recifee = Scottish Rectified Rite Societas Rosicrutiana in Anglia = Sos - aye -et - ass Ros - eh - Croosh - eh - anna in Anglia Hermes Trismegistus = Herr - mez Triz - mejis - tus Gematria = Gem - ah - try - ah Enoch = E- noch (to rhyme with Loch)

Thanks for your help. Of all the times I've been prompted to ask questions by my brethren, I've never even thought to clear this lot up! Most of these words have been bugging me for a couple of years now, and I've just been reading past the word, knowing what it refers to but unable to pronounce it in my head. Quite frustrating.
Anyway, would that be coron - ah - tea, or coron - ah - tie? Or does that just depend on where you're from?
...and how about: Hagia Sophia Iamblicus Desagulier Pietre (as in the website "Pietre-Stones Review of Freemasonry") Hugh de Payens
Thanks again.

"I pronounce "Quatuor Coronati" Like this: AQC" Bro Karen.
And I pronounce it, boring, tedious, dry, staid, and that from one who not only was a member of QCCC for many years but also Secretary for it in one of UGLE's Provinces. I found Cornerstone far better and also some of the Internet sources such as Petre Stones.
There was no doubt a great deal of useful information in the "Ars" but much as it was almost unreadable and written in a very dry style or peppered by so many notes and references as to make it difficult to follow. Yes, no doubt if one is studying for a PHD in History and Freemasonry is the subject of your Doctoral Thesis then it this is usefull, but to an ordinary Freemason such as myself it was of dubious utility.

Thanks everyone for your help. I'm still not sure on "pietre", although I think its Italian for "stone". Do we have any Italian forumites amongst us?

Now, how about Rakoczi ... alias the inimitable Comte de St Germaine, held by some to be the head of all freemasons throughout the world... "Myths, legends and speculations about St. Germain began to be widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and continue today. They include beliefs that he is immortal, the Wandering Jew, an alchemist with the "Elixir of Life", a Rosicrucian, and that he prophesied the French Revolution. He is said to have met the forger Giuseppe Balsamo (alias Cagliostro) in London.... "Some sources write that his name .. was invented by him as a French version of the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning "Holy Herman", or " Holy Brother Herman." Shades of Hermes of Trismegistus fame? He was an alchemist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_of_St_GermainAnswer: Rah-ka-zee .. straight from some transylvanian lips I know. Maat

Do we have any Italian forumites amongst us? pYEH-tre -- pronouncing [Y] as a consonant ("you") rather than a vowel ("dye"). It means stone, but consider its proximity to Pietro - Petrus - Peter -- the cornerstone.

Gematria = Gem - ah - try - ah So that would be a hard "G" sound not "J"?

Yup, hard "G", as in Goat, rather than Gerbil. Not that I'm at all suggesting lodges that use Gerbils aren't as regular as those that use Goats. I'm must using them as examples. Promise
