Initiation et Science was a mid-twentieth-century French esoteric review—its sampled lectures date to 1958—that joined the language of initiation to a claimed science of the hidden. Occultism leads its pages, thick with references to initiates, adepts, the tarot, ceremonial magic, and Kabbalah, and astrology runs a close second. A vigorous strand of hypnotism, suggestion, and autosuggestion sits beside a practical program of pendulum work, or radiesthesia, and lectures ranging from dream interpretation to Brazilian black magic. Scholarly pieces engage the newly famous Dead Sea Scrolls and the geometry of the pyramids. The review belongs to the broad Papus-descended current of French occultism and parascience, surveying many esoteric arts at once rather than championing any single school.
