Published by Éditions du Doggerland, an independent associative press based in Pamiers (France), Cosmos explores the relationships between esotericism, occultism, political thought and social life, through the lens of the humanities and social sciences : intellectual history, sociology, anthropology, political philosophy.

Founded by two Freemasons engaged in academic research—Cédric Lévêque, PhD in social anthropology and member of the Lodge of Utopie Latine in Pamiers (Grand Orient of France), and Thibault Brice, ethnologist and current MA candidate in analytic philosophy at the University of Geneva, member of the Lodge Fidélité et Liberté in Geneva (Grand Orient of Switzerland)—Cosmos is supported by Jean-Loïc Le Quellec, a renowned ethnologist and mythologist, who chairs a prestigious editorial board.

The journal combines academic rigour with accessibility, aiming to offer a critical yet engaging reading experience.

First Issue : The Myth of Nazi Occultism

The inaugural issue of Cosmos is dedicated to the myth of “Nazi occultism” : a powerful and enduring imaginary that blends esotericism, popular culture, radical politics, and conspiracy narratives.

The first issue of Cosmos

Across ten thematic articles, the journal examines the roots and resurgence of this mythos—from portrayals of Hitler as a Hindu deity to Nazi UFO lore, mythic lands, and extreme music scenes—offering a comprehensive and critical exploration of this symbolic landscape.

Understanding Society Through Myth and Symbol

Far from simplistic denunciation or fascination, Cosmos adopts a distanced and analytical approach. Its ambition is to shed light on the ways in which esoteric imaginaries can shape political projects—and how political ideologies may in turn integrate symbolic or occult elements.

The journal seeks to produce knowledge grounded in nuance, rigour, and contextual understanding—qualities essential to the humanities and social sciences.

A Journal for Curious and Discerning Readers

Cosmos is intended for any reader—Masonic or not—who is curious about the role of symbols, myths and belief systems in shaping our societies.

It opens fresh perspectives on the intersections between belief, power and cultural imagination.

Cosmos is published twice a year.

The first issue is now available in bookstores.

By Ion Rajolescu, editor-in-chief of Nos Colonnes, dedicated to delivering an accurate, rigorous and vibrant Masonic message.
