Aries Press was the publisher of some of Israel Regardie's The Golden Dawn and other works. Contributions by Regardie, Manly P. Hall, Sylvan Muldoon, Mary Adams and, of all people, Rene Guenon. Perhaps not accidentally, most of the authors whose work appeared in the journal also received prominent (and presumably free) advertising and reviews in the journal.

Claude-Generated Themes:   The Aries Quarterly was a 1930s esoteric-order journal in which a practising magical fraternity's concerns — initiation, the 'attainment' of adeptship 'by Magic', and internal complaints that the order's Chiefs had grown timid about operative work — sit alongside a substantial practical-astrology department. Readers found detailed natal delineations, horoscope columns, and meditations on astrology as the oldest of the sciences, together with tarot and a numerological 'Birthpath' technique. The occult and astrological materials are tightly interwoven rather than merely juxtaposed. In effect it is a working occultist's quarterly: an initiatory-magical spine wrapped in the everyday craft of chart-reading and divination.
