The Metaphysical Magazine was a late 19th and early 20th century American periodical devoted to occult and metaphysical matters. Intermittently it published under other names, including Intelligence, New Cycle, and Ideal Review.
History
The Metaphysical Magazine: A Monthly Review of the Occult Sciences and Metaphysical Philosophy was founded in 1895 by Leander Edmund Whipple, a mental healer.
It was issued monthly for the most part and ceased publication in 1911.[2] For brief periods it was published under the following alternate titles: Intelligence (June 1897 – March 1898), New Cycle (January–March 1900), and Ideal Review (April–December 1900).[2] Despite these title changes, it retained continuity in its volume numbering throughout its history.[2]
The writer and editor John Emery McLean was the magazine's first managing editor, remaining in that position for over two years (1895–97).[1]
