The Zeitschrift für kritischen Okkultismus is a German psychical-research journal that examines occult claims in a skeptical, scientific key rather than promoting them. Mediumship is its principal subject — trance mediums, seances, spirit photography and ectoplasm are described and tested — but the explanatory framework is drawn from psychology and physiology, with William James and the 'subconscious' enlisted alongside hypnotism, suggestion and the older language of animal magnetism (somnambulism, 'passes,' Reichenbach's od). Astrology and other occult practices appear as objects of critical assessment. The overall cast is that of the investigative, often debunking wing of the psychical-research tradition, for which spiritualism and hypnotism are matters to be tested rather than believed. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
