This was a journal devoted to the "combat" against Freemasonry and parts of it are included here because of the extraordinary steps to investigate the details of "La Franc-Maconnerie Fille de l'Occultisme" in the heyday of the occult revival of the 1890s. It printed almost line-by-line examinations of Diable au XIXe siecle, showing the sources (usually Eliphas Levi) of Leo Taxil's imaginings and illustrations; reviewed the origins of Martinism; studied secret societies worldwide; and devoted some space in practically every issue to Papus (Gerard Encausse).
