The British Mazdaznan Magazine was the UK organ of the Mazdaznan movement, the breath-and-diet system founded by Otto Hanish that clothed a hygienic, New-Thought optimism in a pseudo-Zoroastrian idiom of the 'Breath of God.' Its pages mix devotional exhortation with the practical machinery of a membership body — city 'Sections' meeting on fixed weeknights in Liverpool and London, multilingual gatherings, and appeals to spread 'the mysteries of Life.' The dominant content is regimen: rhythmic breathing, vegetarian diet, and bodily hygiene as spiritual discipline. Astrological and spiritualist words appear only in passing. It belongs with the vegetarian and health-reform press as much as with the esoteric, and stands as a characteristic early-twentieth-century Mazdaznan periodical. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
