Occult Periodicals and Rare Journals

The movement’s conversation, issue by issue.

The occult revival lived in its periodicals. Journals like The Theosophist, Crowley’s The Equinox and the French esoteric revues were where doctrines were announced, quarrels conducted and new translations first published.

This archive room gathers the bound volumes and single issues that survive, many digitised through IAPSOP and similar projects. They are rich, uneven and irreplaceable sources for how these movements actually thought and argued.
