I'm not one of those guys who wholly thinks that things went down in a certain way, but the freemasons don't do theurgy like the Rosicrucians do. I believe Rosicrucianism started with 3 manifestos. Then from Rosicrucians came Hermetic order of the Golden Dawn. One could say masons Knights Templar started it but it is considered fringe masonry and not regular masonry. There's also a third more modern type that allows women.
These manifestos where created in 1614-1617. Way earlier than 1887.
I hate being pedantic but 200+ years is a bit of a difference.
