This was published as The Occultist (q.v.) until March 1929, when the name was changed to Occult Iife. The volume numbering continues that of its predecessor. 24-42 pp., $3.00 a year. Issues of both journals are filed under The Occultist (Los Angeles). Beasley was a Hollywood screen writer and astrologer who went on to write for Ruth Drown's Philosopher's Stone and to edit and publish Principle. This journal was a who's who of the minor figures in the Los Angeles/Hollywood world of the 1920s, with contributions by Julia Seton. Will Levington Comfort (editor of the Glass Hive), Kevah Deo Griffis, John H. Dequer, Richard and Isabella Ingalese, O.W. Le Mar, Llewellyn George (editor of the Astrological Bulletina), Cora Belle Miller, Axel Emil Gibson, Gaspar Bela Daruvary, Artie Mae Blackburn, Marc Edmund Jones, Diana Belais, Zurea Zuray, et al. The journal is most valuable for its advertisements for the peripheral occult figures and establishments of the time in Los Angeles: First National University, Newark, New Jersey ("Be a Drugless Physician"); Emery Myers "Astrologer-Egyptologist"; The Illuminati School, Santa Monica; AMORC; Svend Raasted ("Complete Instructions in Kabbalastic [sic] Understanding"); Rev.
