Chaine Magnetique, La. +

This was begun with the collaboration of Dupotet to continue the work of the baron's original Journal du Magnetisme (1845-1861). It was the practical organ of the French societies of masseurs and magnetizers. Papus, in his "Presses neo-spiritualistes," 1896, says that the journal was an "echo des salons magnetiques" of earlier times. It carried on a press war over the then current laws prohibiting the practice of magnetic medicine without a license-Auffinger's wife, a somnambule, had been condemned under the law. Also regularly criticized was Hector Durville and his new Journal du Magnetisme, which was a direct competitor of this journal and claimed to be the legitimate successor of Dupotet's Journal du Magnetisme. It also carried short articles on clairvoyance and clairaudience, on the "diables, demons, lutins, farfadets, revenants" that troubled human rest, and other related topics.

Chaldean Book of Numbers +

A work which contains all that is found in the ''Zohar ''of Simeon Ben‐Jochai, and much more. It must be the older by many centuries, and in one sense its original, as it contains all the fundamental principles taught in the Jewish Kabbalistic works, but none of their blinds. It is very rare indeed, there being perhaps only two or three copies extant, and these in private hands [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). De Zirkoff describes the ''Chaldean Book of Numbers'' as an occult treatise unavailable at the time of his compilation. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.3)#498|3:498]][[SMW::on]]). Zirkoff describes it as a possible source of the ''Zohar'' and, citing Blavatsky’s ''Theosophical Glossary'', emphasizes the rarity of surviving copies. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.7)#359|7:359]][[SMW::on]]). Described by Blavatsky as a source of the Zohar and other Kabbalistic works, surviving in only a few privately held copies; unavailable to the compiler (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.8)#421|8:421]][[SMW::on]]). Zirkoff describes this as a possible source of the Zohar and cites Blavatsky's account of its extreme rarity (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.9)#407|9:407-408]][[SMW::on]]). Zirkoff presents the book as a source of the Zohar and other Kabbalistic works, quoting Blavatsky's statement that only a few privately held copies remained (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.11)#568|11:568]][[SMW::on]]).

Chaldeans +

At first a tribe, then a caste of learned Kabbalists. They were the ''savants, ''the magians of Babylonia, astrologers and diviners. The famous Hillel, the precursor of Jesus in philosophy and in ethics, was a Chaldean. Franck in his ''Kabbala ''points to the close resemblance of the “secret doctrine” found in the ''Avesta ''and the religious metaphysics of the Chaldees [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
