The polestars of the first period of BSRA activity were Psychicism, Occultism, and Spiritualism, marking out a focus on efforts to conduct practical experimentation with Vitic and Spiritons, and to open channels for discussion about the techniques of Qabala, Yoga, and other occult forms. Toward that end and in service of such purpose, the Round Robins of 1945 shuffled occult and psychic research notes and letters from associates alongside book reviews and feature stories of Forteana and mediums the likes of Edgar Cayce, Franek Kluski, and Carlos Mirabelli, the final product interspersed with Meade Layne's oft-biting editorials and copious quotables from his favored poets, scientists, scholars, and thinkers.
