Encausse visited Russia three times, in 1901, 1905, and 1906, serving [[Nicholas II|Tsar Nicholas II]] and Tsarina Alexandra both as physician and occult consultant. It has been incorrectly claimed that in October 1905, he conjured up the spirit of Alexander III (father of Tsar Nicholas), who prophesied that the Tsar would meet his downfall at the hands of revolutionaries. Encausse's followers allege that he informed the Tsar that he would be able to magically avert Alexander's prophecy so long as Encausse was alive. Nicholas kept his hold on the throne of Russia until 141 days after Papus' death. | Encausse visited Russia three times, in 1901, 1905, and 1906, serving [[Nicholas II|Tsar Nicholas II]] and Tsarina Alexandra both as physician and occult consultant.

Although Encausse seems to have served the Tsar and Tsarina in what was essentially the capacity of a mediumistic spiritual advisor, he was later curiously concerned about their heavy reliance on occultism to assist them in deciding questions of government. During their later correspondence, he warned them a number of times against the influence of Rasputin. | Although Encausse seems to have served the Tsar and Tsarina in what was essentially the capacity of a mediumistic spiritual advisor, he was later curiously concerned about their heavy reliance on occultism to assist them in deciding questions of government.
