This was started as The Occultist, but after disputes with John Thomas, the publisher of that journal, it was begun anew under this title. This was the organ of the H.B. of L., the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, the most influential practical occult group in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and an avowed enemy of the "Buddhistic Mahatmas" of the competing Theosophical Society. Davidson later edited The Morning Star.
