Originally, the idea of Bree belonging to the Rosicrucian Order was brought up here:

But now from the recent video, "Learning Egyptian" it seems to relate even more.
I was just reading this book Weird California by Greg Bishop, Joe Oesterle, and Mike Marinacci, and they have some information on the Rosicrucian Order, talking about the Order's headquarters at Rosicrucian Park in San Jose, California.
1. "The Rosicrucians do not claim to be a religion, but rather a mystical association."
2. Notice the name- Rosicrucian Order
3. At Rosicrucian Park, there's a bunch of Egyptian architecture, and it also has the largest collection of ancient Egyptian relics in the western United States.
4. Also at Rosicrucian Park, there's a huge research library with tons of books on mysticism (adults studying egyptian as gemma said?), as well as a planetarium.
Here's some more history about the order in the book:

Aleister Crowley also comes into the picture here:"In 1915, businessman and occultist Harve Spencer Lewis announced to the world that Pharaoh Akhenaton's secret society was now taking applications. The society was known as the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC), or the Rosicrucians. Lewis was its Imperator, or head.
"AMORC claimed to have been founded by the ancient rule Akhenaton, generally credited as the first monotheistic sovereign. From there, it worked through Western history in a 108-year cyrcles of public and private activity, making an especially strong splash in the Renaissance, when the followers of the legendary Christian Rosenkreuz antagonized the Catholic Church with their faith in reason, personal enlightenment, and a coming new age. Many great men in history have allegedly been members of the secret society. With the twentieth century underway, the group's leaders had apparently decided it was once again time to resurface."
