Despite the title, this was basically a Theosophical journal with much filler on local California color. No editor is listed for the first twelve months but it was probably edited from

The New Californian is a West-coast Theosophical monthly built on the Blavatskyan vocabulary of karma, reincarnation, brotherhood and occult science, with the Bhagavad Gita quoted directly on rebirth. Around that Theosophical core it takes in the neighboring currents of its day — spirit mediumship and séance phenomena, hypnotism and mesmeric clairvoyance — and carries a reformist social conscience, reporting on tenement and lodging-house conditions. The effect is of Theosophy in conversation with spiritualism and the mind-sciences rather than a séance-room phenomena paper. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
