High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Odyssey Magazine was launched in July 1977 in Cape Town, South Africa. Dedicated to what at the time was considered `alternative` health and spiritual concerns, this magazine has become not only one of South Africa`s longest standing consumer magazines, but is the country`s and, say leading commentators, one of the world`s foremost holistic lifestyle titles, boasting regular columns and articles from luminaries such as Paulo Coelho, Dr John Demartini, Naomi Klein and numerous others.
