Ou expose annuel des observations scientifiques et des travaux publies en France et à l'Etranger dans les sciences mysterieuses Astrologie, Alchimie, Symbolique, Esoterisme, arts divinatoires, Prophetique, psychisme, spiritisme, Magnetisme. 1908--1909 Paris, France. Language: French. Publisher: Henri Daragon. Editor: Pierre Piobb (Pierre Vincenti Comte da Piobetta). 1/1, 1908 (for the year 1907)-1909 (for 1908). "Piobb" (Comte Pierre Vincenti, 1874-1942) was a Corsican journalist and a well-respected astrologer, magician and occultist. He wrote on, among other things, Les Mysteres des Dieux: Venus, la Deesse Magique de la Chair, and a book on the secret of Nostradamus. This journal was to be an annual retrospective on things occult, and included articles by most of the leading occultists of the period: Piobb, Oswald Wirth, Ch. M. Limousin, Papus, Alta, Annie Besant, Teder, Ernest Bosc, Ch. Lancelin, Paul Vulliaud, Jollivet-Castelot, C. Camille Flammarion, "Jules Bois" (Henri Antoine Jules-Bois), and H. Durville, and many others. The journal gave a full account (from Le Voile d'Isis) of the Spiritualist Congress held in Paris in 1907. Apparently only two volumes were issued.

Claude-Generated Themes:	L'Année Occultiste et Psychique was a French annual that surveyed the occult and psychical scene of the fin-de-siècle and Belle Époque, moving in the milieu of Papus and Ernest Bosc. Deliberately panoramic, it reported on occultism proper and its initiatic orders, on astrology, the tarot, and Kabbalah, and on the mediumship and spiritism of the day, while giving substantial room to hypnotism, suggestion, and animal magnetism as the era's 'psychical' sciences. Egyptological and Hermetic curiosities—ancient amulets, initiatic lore—sit alongside reports of learned-society proceedings. The yearbook thus functions as a cross-section of French esotericism and early psychical research rather than the organ of any single school, with occultism and astrology leading and spiritism close behind.
