This was a short-lived journal that functioned as one of the organs of Papus's Groupe Independante des Etudes Esoteriques in Paris. The masthead announced the "collaboration" of Papus, Stanislaus de Guaita, F.-Ch. Barlet, Catulle Mendès, et al. Oswald Wirth reviewed Masonic matters for the journal. The name was changed to La Paix Universelle with the issue of July 1891, and the journal increasingly was devoted to mesmerism and spiritualism.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Read from 1890, the Union Occulte Française is the organ of a French occult union — spiritism and the séance (esprits, périsprit) drawn together with organized occultism into a single fin-de-siècle movement. It reflects the French habit of federating spiritism, magnetism and occultism as allied 'occult sciences.' Occult / spiritist rather than mesmeric.
