La Tour Saint-Jacques was a mid-20th-century Paris review devoted to the history and doctrines of Western esotericism, treating occultism as a scholarly subject rather than a devotional practice. Its pages range across initiation, the tarot, kabbalah, ceremonial magic, talismans and a substantial body of astrology, alongside literary-esoteric studies (Gérard de Nerval) and comparative theories of the origins of magic. It also surveys psychical phenomena — séances, ectoplasm — with a historian's distance. The review belongs to the erudite postwar French current that documented the Western esoteric tradition, and reads as a critical anthology of that tradition rather than the organ of any single order. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
