Olaf Francke

Born in Kiel, he was editor of the German occult and magical Online Magazine AHA, which was previously founded and published by the Thelema Society, and runs the Small Press Publishing AHA !. Francke was a member of the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis and Ordo Saturni. In 1991 he founded the order Fraternitas Catena Aurea, of which Michael Dietmar Eschner Was a member.[1] In 2005 there was a cooperation with Karl-Friedrich Frey (Akron) for the book "Akron's Crowley Tarot Guide". It was planned that both authors would publish this book together. In the course of the work, the authors fell out and Francke got his publishing rights back.[2] Due to a judgment of the District Court Leipzig of 2008, Francke committed himself to stop accusing Frey of plagiarism for the book he published under the pseudonym Akron in the publisher Königsfurt-Urania Verlag. Akron had to acknowledge in return that parts of his book were based on Francke's work.[3] Francke published his part of the work The 49 paths of wisdom in his own publishing house in 2017.

In 2010, Francke joined the Christian Missionary Anglican Communion and was ordained bishop there in 2012. He took over the deputy of Archbishop M. Schmidt.[4] From 2015 to 2017, he wrote under his pseudonym Simon Rothenstein with Neidthard Kupfer, the trilogy The New Order.[5] Since 2020, he runs the blog Stoerenfried, where he deals, among other things, critically with conspiracy theorys.

Francke has been married twice, has a total of 8 children and now lives in Beldorf.
