The journal in its early days was divided into sections: I. Scientific Occultism; II. Spiritualism, Theosophy, Indian Mysticiam, Buddhism, "und verwandte" III. Spiritualism, Magnetism, Natural Living; IV. Belletristik; V. Questions and answers from readers; and VI. Reports from around the World. There was a considerable academic presence in the journal, with very lengthy articles-really small books-spread over many issues, on astrology, Pendelforschung, clairvoyance, the "spiritual breath," the astral double, and the like. The journal also carried articles by or selections from François Jolllivet-Castelot, C.W. Leadbeater, Carl du Prel, Ernest Fiedler, Ernest Tiede, "Gnostikos" (E.C.H. Peithmann, on his Neo-Gnostic version of the sexual inheritance), A. de Rochas, Gregor Schwartz-Bostunitsch, Prentice Mulford, Carl Kiesewetter, et al. In 1929-1930, the journal republished "The Elixir of Life" by Mirza Murad Ali Beg (Godolphin Mitford), originally published in The Theosophist in the 1880s.

Karl Brandler-Pracht (1864-1939), the first editor of the journal (until he decamped with a copy of the mailing list to Hugo Vollrath's Prana), was an actor and astrologer. He also helped create the first astrological school in Vienna, which trained many of the important astrologers of the next generation (including Elsbeth Ebertin), and was active in creating and running Prana, Astrologische Rundschau, Hohe Warte, Psyche and Astrologischen Blätter. He advocated "practical occultism" to develop occult powers, urging, notably, the use of the magic mirror. Surya (Demeter Georgievitz-Weitzer, 1873-1949) edited the journal from 1909 to 1914. He was a Theosophist, astrologer, New-Thought advocate, and occult physician-and in addition is reputed to have been that great rarity, a successful alchemist.
