Reflejo Astral was a Spanish-American periodical — its 'i'-for-'y' spelling points to Chile — that braided two currents the era often kept apart: Kardecist Spiritism and Theosophy. It offered readers practical séance counsel (treat the spirits courteously, but do not believe everything they tell you) alongside a Blavatskyan, anti-materialist cosmology in which the Sun's force condenses within the Earth as magnetism and all of Nature answers to a threefold, 'Tri-unitary' law. Faint mesmeric vocabulary of odic and imponderable fluids threads through the whole. It reads as a spiritist journal wearing theosophical-occult dress, characteristic of the porous esoteric scene of the Southern Cone. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
