Pitagoras. This was a generic New Thought/Occult journal after the pattern of those (like Nautilus) being published in the United States at the time. Its cover proclaimed its devotion to "Cultura Psiquica, Mentalismo, Hipnotismo, Teosofia, Ocultismo, Espiritismo," and its subtitle with its emphasis on the "Cause of Progress" clearly showed its preferences in the civil wars brewing in Mexico. The journal was the effort of Rosales's Instituto Pitagorico de Ciencias Ocultas. in Mexico City. In addition to contributions by local writers, it featured translations of

Pitágoras was a Spanish-language esoteric review published in Mexico that braided Kardecist spiritism with Hermetic and Egyptian-mystery lore under its Pythagorean masthead. Its pages move from the practice of mediumship and materialization to the 'science of the Egyptian priests' — who, it holds, knew magnetism, somnambulism and cures by sleep — and on to cosmological speculation on meteorites and the earth's inner fire, all framed as an unfolding esoteric doctrine whose watchword is 'science thy strength, faith thy sword, silence thy shield.' It typifies the syncretic Latin-American occult press of the period, in which Espiritismo, animal magnetism, karma and the Western Hermetic tradition were woven into a single initiatory vision. The Pythagorean title advertises that self-consciously esoteric, mystery-school lineage. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
