Facsimile Reprints of This Rare Magazine Available from Kessinger Publishing! "We are about to found a magazine of our
own, Lucifer. Don’t allow yourself to be frightened: it is not the devil, into
which the Catholics have falsified the name of the Morning Star, sacred to all the ancient
world, of the ‘bringer of light,’ Phosphoros, as the Romans often called the
Mother of God and Christ. And in St. John’s Revelation does it not say,
‘I, Jesus, the morning star’? I wish people would take this to mind, at least.
It is possible that the rebellious angel was called Lucifer before his fall, but
after his transformation he must not be called so...." "Open your columns to free and fearless discussion, and do as the theosophical periodicals have ever done, and as LUCIFER is now preparing to do. The 'bright Son of the morning' fears no light. He courts it, and is prepared to publish any inimical contributions (couched, of course, in decent language), however much at variance with his theosophical views. He is determined to give a fair hearing in any and every case, to both contending parties and allow things and thoughts to be judged on their respective merits. For why, or what should one dread when fact and truth are one's only aim?" H.P. Blavatsky in Lucifer, October, 1887.
