Roger Dachez talked, in a precedent presentation, about a flirt of the belle époque between Martinism and Freemasonry. What about today? Did this flirt transformed into a beautiful and enduring love story or on the contrary did the paths turn away?
After a short recalling of these many partings that occurred in Martinism between the 19th century and the 20th century, Roger Dachez tries to answer this question going through three points:
a) The origins and the foundation of the martinist thought and the freemasonry thought, are they compatible, or even identical?
b) The methods: do these groups work the same way?
c) The content: what does the saint-martinian, martinezist or willermozian way of thinking consist of, and what are their common features with freemasonry?

This presentation reveals that these two paths are different in many ways but are not incompatible. Both conduct an initiation to man but are different in their origins, and in their content, and their methods...
Do you want want to get to know these distinctions? Roger Dachez, doctor and used to dissect corpses, conducts here, with the talent of his, to a "vivisection" of Martinism: a movement not known but alive!
