The Occult Order

of the Knights Elect Cohen of the Universe

Theurgic and Mystical school of the 18^th Century:

The massive influence of this tradition can be traced through many occult
and mystical groups still active today:

– Martinism –

– Rosicrucianism –

– The Rites of Memphis and Misraim –

– The Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn –

– Ordo Templi Orientis –

– Voodoo cults in Haiti and beyond –

As the High-Degrees of Freemasonry swept across the landscape of eighteenth-century Europe, an obscure and secret occult order started to develop known as l’Ordre des Chevaliers Elus Coens de l’Universe or the ‘Order of Knight-Mason Elect-Cohens of the Universe’, more commonly referred to as The Elus Coen.

Recognised as the most serious and illustrious of the eighteenth-century esoteric masonic societies, much of the Order’s authentic original materials have been lost or forgotten for centuries.

The ‘Green Book’ or Algiers Manuscript is the largest and most significant single source, but we have also included additional facsimile sections from Ms. T.4188, par Prunel de Liere, held at the Bibliotheque Municipale de Grenoble and other important material.

Detailing the inner workings and highest degrees of the Order, this fascinating translation and collection of manuscripts en­lightens the reader in the true, very visceral nature of the Order. Requiring the utmost commitment, and a dedicated lifestyle, the Order prescribed everything from hair style to diet.

Far from the everyday festivities of mainstream freemasonry, The Elus Coen were spiritual warriors engaged in magical combat with angelic and demonic entities. These original rites of the Elus Coen, instruct the initiate how to enter into relations with angelic spirits, which are sympathetic to Man’s fallen state, and who aid him upon the path to reintegration with the Divine.

Mastering the forces of astral currents which appear in the symbols of the ‘Registry of 2,400 Names’ is the key to occult power.

One will see the overt influence of the grimoire tradition as well as the teachings of Abramelin in the materials, not only in the pursuit of one Guardian Angel, out also in the specifics of the ceremonial preparations.

This title ‘Green Book’ comes from the appearance of the manuscript itself given the colour of the original binding. The secondary title of ‘Algiers Manuscript’ does not appear anywhere in the manuscript itself, it comes from the fact that the manuscript (accompanied by a record of twenty-three leaflets) was found and bought on the market of Saint­Ouen by an antique dealer in Algiers during the Second World War. In order to preserve their archives, most Masonic obedience’s had reconstituted their ‘staff’ in Algiers. After purchase the manuscript was sold to Marguerite Benama, friend of Robert Ambelain, in 1955. Mrs. Benama then gave the entire acquisition to Robert Ambelain who, in turn, in 1993, donated it to the National Library, accompanied by the sheets now associated with the ‘Algiers Ms’ The original manuscript was probably written from 1770 to 1772.

It was sent by small consignments, partially to Champollon, Grainville and Willermoz via Marduel. The author of the manuscript was Andre Pierre de Grainville, and the manuscript would appear to be something of a working manual for Reaux-Croix initiates.
