MAGAZINE “THE BEACON”


 
This magazine was founded in April 1922 by Alice Bailey, initially it was published monthly, then bimonthly, and the Lucis publishing house continues to publish it quarterly to this day.
 
In its early publications it was "a small periodical intended for theosophists" with selections from Blavatsky, H.S. Olcott, Franz Hartmann, J.D. Buck, W.Q. Judge, Alexander Fullerton, H.W. Percival, C.H.A. Bjerregaard and earlier theosophical writers. Interspersed with these were reprinted articles by Will Levington Comfort, Inayat Khan, Edward Carpenter, G.R.S. Mead, Robert Assagioli, Kahlil Gibran, Walt Whitman, Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Dane Rudyar, Eugene Del Mar, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and many other occult and New Thought authors.
 
In the first years of the magazine, Jacob Bonggren's articles on magic, chromotherapy, etc. are notable. Bonggren was editor of The Occult Digest magazine and he had been an early member of the Theosophical Society in the days when it had a set of practical rules (fasting, chastity, etc.) for advancement in society.
 
This magazine gradually began to include articles by Alice Bailey under her own name and as a messenger of The Tibetan, who first appeared in December 1922 in an article titled "Occultism, from the Tibetan Master."
 
In 1923, the Baileys formed the Arcane School under the Lucis Trust foundation, that they created to propagate their books, and this magazine has since been the official publication of this organization.
