This was the organ of the Grupo Independiente de Estudios Esotericos (GIDEE), founded in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1942,. It offered "cursos metodicos de ciencias esotericas occidentales y orientales" under the tutelage of "Dr. Jehel" and other Martinists whose identities are masked under their initiate names. The journal envisioned itself as a successor of Papus's L'Initiation, but while it was the journal of the Martinists and of the Orden Kabalística de la Rosa-Cruz in Uruguay, it also gave considerable attention to various "Maestros" such as the "Maharishi" (Ramana Maharshi), "Amo" (Philippe Nizier), "El Tibethano," et al. The journal reprinted "El Demiurgo," by "Palingenius" (Rene Guenon). "Jehel" was also active in the Uruguayan Theosophical Society and edited Mensaje in the 1920s. He was the son of Albert Raymond Costet (1872-1942), who received his Martinist training under Papus, Sedir, et al., in Paris and whose writings appeared in the journal under the names "Cedaior" and "Sri Sevananda".
