Madrid, Spain. Language: Spanish. Editor: Abdeon Sanchez Herrero.
Corporate author: Organo del Centro Platon
1/1, October 1925-September 1927. 16 pp., 5 pesetas a year.

This was the organ of the Center "Plato" in Madrid, led by Abdeon Sanchez Herrero. It was designed as a "propaganda sheet" to clear "the way forward and indicate to neophytes in spiritist beliefs the delights that the believing soul would find" in the movement. The Center offered (for 3.5 pesetas a month) seances, lectures, a library, teaching courses, etc. The journal was largely written by Sanchez Herrero, with contributions by Antonio Palmero Fernandez, Juan Tebar, and others of the period, and regularly contained a correspondence section and bibliography. In its last known issue (September 1927) the journal noted its permanent deficit and lamented the fact that it had been able to garner only 165 subscribers in a country with "millions of spiritualists."

Claude-Generated Themes:   Plus Ultra was a Spanish-language Kardecist Spiritist review that married doctrine to reported phenomena. Its columns fly the 'Bandera Espiritista' and root the movement in the teaching of 'the Martyr of Golgotha', arguing reincarnation as a divine law through the Kardecian perispirit — Elijah returning in John the Baptist, the spirit passing through wandering states and successive expiations. Alongside the theology sits an active mediumistic register of materializations, trance and mediumistic control, and even a didactic dramatic dialogue on guilt and the cross. It is a characteristic specimen of moralizing, Christianized Hispanic espiritismo in the Allan Kardec lineage.
