This was a Theosophical journal, with the usual articles by Annie Besant et al, but it also carried discussions of Tagore and Bahai. The issue for May-June 1913 recounts the coming to Uruguay of Theosophy and occultism in 1896-1897 in the person of Alberto de Das, Conde de Sarak, an international confidence man and swindler, whose biography is detailed in the notes to Etoile d'Orient, Radiant Centre, and other journals. His then-current (and last) wife was Uruguayan and his children were born there. The Revista Teosofica (Cuba), February 15, 1917, notes the cessation of this journal and the transformation of the enterprise into a "Center for Initiatory Publications" to achieve a wider diffusion of its ideas and the teachings of the "Orientalist Philosophy."
