| Summary: |
From Pat Deveney's database:
True Mystic Science. This was a somewhat lurid popular pulp journal of the period, with psychic solutions to unsolved crimes, mystic miracles, "Nazidom's Rasputin," "The Third Eye," "Is Roosevelt Psychic?" and the like. Articles by Sylvan Muldoon, Grant Lewi, Otis Adelbert Kline, et al, and regular contributions by Lloyd Kenyon Jones (on whom see the notes under Communication), and Hereward Carrington. Advertisements for aluminum seance trumpets and luminous paint and ouija boards, crystal balls, AMORC, the Brotherhood of Light, the Lemurian Fellowship, etc. The journal featured an article on the spirit artist Willa Susan Ashley, the wife of the editor, Reginald Scott. Scott came by his love of the outré naturally: his father, R.T.M. Scott, Sr., was the author of "The Spider, Master of Men" and creator of Secret Service Smith and other pulp wonders. The table of contents of surviving issues is given in http://www.philsp.com/homeville/FMI/k10/k10821.htm#TOP. The publisher of the journal was the manufacturer of a women's cosmetic sold under the name "Mystic Glow" until it was enjoined by the Federal Trade Commission in 1940 from continuing the deceptive advertising of its products.
