The journal published theological inquiries into the dangers of Satanic deception in occultism and into the nature of angels and their role in spiritualism, and also discussions of general occult and spiritualist topics such as graphology, the Keeley Motor, haunted houses, Mollie Fancher, the astral plane, multiple personalities, the Yellow Peril, etc. Contributions by A. de Rochas, E.
