Biographical notes - 2

On the basis of what Kremmerz himself states, it was De Servis who initiated the young Ciro Formisano to the mysteries of the Sacred Science, recognising in him the constituent characteristics of a master of hermeticism, combined with a great humanitarian, tolerant and generous nature.
Ciro Formisano graduated in the Humanities and, after a brief experience as a teacher and then as a journalist, he departed on a mysterious voyage to Montevideo, where it is said he made contact with the shamanic cultures of Latin America.
It is not impossible that the idea of Formisano’s journey had come from De Servis (Izar) himself for, protected by his anonymity, he controlled much of the Italic and neo-Egyptian hermetic initiatory tradition of that time.

In 1887, when he had adopted the pseudonym of Giuliano Kremmerz, Ciro Formisano started to disclose the first elements of natural and divine magic through the journal Il Mondo Secreto. At the same time, he started up the SPHCI, binding it to therapeutic ends carried out by means of “distance medicine” for the sick. The form and substance he outlined for the Schola has remained unchanged to this day and has statutory form in the 60 paragraphs of the Pragmatica Fondamentale of the S.P.H.C.I Fratellanza Terapeutica Magica di Miriam.
The works of Kremmerz laid the foundations for carrying the initiatory tradition into the new millennium, taking it back to the archetype – which, over the centuries, had become confused – of the feminine form of the mystery tradition. It was on this archetype that he modelled the Schola, introducing instructions and practices designed to train disciples in the exercise of selfless good and to develop latent powers within them.
It must also be said that Kremmerz’s work of promulgation came up against a number of obstacles, some of which came from the esoteric world itself, from areas still bound by a conservative and elitist vision of ancient wisdom and its transmission.

Kremmerz preferred not to stoke up any controversy and he left Naples. First he went to Ventimiglia and then to Camogli (both on the Liguria Riviera) and then to Beausoleil in the Principality of Monaco, where his earthly life came to an end in 1930.
