1/1, January 1878-1899(?) Four Austrian florins or 7 Reichsmark a year, 4 pp.

Replaced Reflexionen aus der Geisterwelt published in Budapest by the same society, and like that journal it carried the articles and trance revelations of Adelma von Vay and long dissertations explicating each of the Gospels and topics such as love, ethics, etc. The society was presided over by Adolf Grunhut and was decidedly Kardecist in its approach, and the journal reflects that viewpoint.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Reformirende Blätter was a German Christian-spiritualist reform sheet that used mediumship as the vehicle for a program of religious renewal. Its columns are saturated with mediumistic communication, but the message is scriptural and reforming: the New Covenant inaugurated by Christ over the outward observances of the Old, the inward spirit against mere bodily ritual, and the counsel to follow trusted spirit-guides as one's true wayfinders. It belongs to the strand of continental spiritualism that framed spirit-communication as ethical and religious instruction rather than as phenomenal spectacle. The nearest taxonomy anchors are spiritualism and teaching-mediumship, with a Christian-reform coloring the standard topic list does not name directly.
