| Summary | "Lucifer: A Theosophical Magazine, Volume I. September 1887-February 1888" is a periodical publication edited by H. P. Blavatsky and Mabel Collins, produced during the late 19th century. This magazine aims to explore and illuminate various esoteric subjects, deliberately challenging prevailing prejudices and misconceptions. Its title, “Lucifer,” is derived from the Latin for “light-bringer,” indicating the magazine's intention to shed light on hidden truths about religion, philosophy, and the nature of existence. At the start of this volume, the editors explain the significance of the title and outline their mission to battle ignorance and superstition. They confront the societal stigma associated with the name “Lucifer,” famously linked to the fallen angel in Christian theology, and instead frame it as a metaphor for enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge. The opening also includes dialogue among various characters who express skepticism and concern about the magazine's controversial title, setting the tone for the ongoing exploration of occult ideas and theosophical philosophy throughout the publication.
