In its first issue, this journal announced that its intention was to follow the same program as La Fenice, which had been forced by copyright issues to cease at the end of 1949. According to Massimo Introvigne, this was a journal "du milieu kremmerzien." On "Giuliano (J.M.) Kremmerz" (Ciro Formisano, 1861-1930), see Massimo Introvigne, "De l'hypertrophie de la filiation: le milieu kremmerzien en Italie," in Cesnur (2000), and see the notes under La Fenice and under Kremmerz's own journals Mundo Secreto, Medecina Ermetica and Commentarium.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Ibis is an Italian esoteric review working the Hermetic and initiatic-magical tradition rather than the Theosophical one. Its pages turn on occultism, magic, the adept and the path of initiation, but its most distinctive feature is a therapeutic-magnetism substrate that treats the human being as a kind of living battery, discussing aura and 'irradiation', magnetic currents, odic force and lucidity in a register close to the Kremmerzian medical-magical current. Initiation is framed as an inner discipline of light pursued against ignorance and self-deception. Fragments of astrological and natural-philosophical vocabulary appear at the margins. The result is a compact Italian voice for practical Hermeticism and vital-magnetic esotericism.
