After attaining to his Philosophic Initiation, Papus requested Dr. Krumm-Heller to go to Mexico, where a number of Neophytes awaited his arrival to receive him as guide and instructor. Following his successful efforts in Mexico, he embarked on a similar mission to Egypt, Palestine, the Middle East, Isles of Rhodes and finally Turkey. Following this trip he returned to Mexico, devoting considerable time to exploring the Indian tribes from the Magellan Straits to the Grand River. He then traveled to Central America in the interests of the Arcane, ending his mission in South America with the establishment of a number of Temples (Colleges). These were under the jurisdiction of Papus but were presided over by the Grand Master J. Soares de Oliveira. During Dr. Clymer’s trip to Rio de Janeiro, all of the Lodges, Colleges and Temples were placed under the jurisdiction of the Confederation of Initiates.

Among his books are listed as follows: After World War II, Dr. Krumm-Heller signed the Articles of the Confederation of Initiates, was made a full member of the Confederation, a member of the Great Council of Three for Germany-Austria and was officially recognized as the Grand Master of the Fraternitas Rosicruciana Antigua for these countries. |
