Papus, the pseudonym of Gérard Encausse (1865-1916), is a major figure in 19th-century French occultism. Trained as a physician, he was also a writer, lecturer, and esotericist. Passionate about spirituality, he became one of the main promoters of Hermeticism, Theosophy, and Kabbalah in France.
A prolific author, Papus wrote numerous works, including "Methodical Treatise on Practical Magic" and "The Science of the Magi", which remain key references in esotericism. He is also the founder of the Martinist Order, an initiatory organization dedicated to transmitting the mystical teachings of Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin.
Playing a key role in the revival of occult traditions in Europe, he left his mark on his era through his scholarship and commitment to making spirituality accessible to all.
Here, we don’t judge.
No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.
We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
We work cleanly.
Each package is carefully prepared by us, here in France. Before shipping, it is purified so it arrives at your home cleansed and positively charged. We strive to use recyclable packaging and reduce our impact as much as possible.
We stay available.
Customer service is us. Not an AI, not a robot, not a call center. If you have a question, a doubt, a problem, you reach us—the same people who select the products, write the descriptions, and prepare the packages.
We stay human-sized.
