“The Canadian Theosophist” is the second
magazine published by the Theosophical Society in Canada (which is associated
with the Theosophical Society in Pasadena).
The first
magazine was called “The Lamp” and it
was published from 1894 to 1900 (see previous article).
This second magazine began to be published in March 1920 and continues
to be published until today. First appeared as a monthly periodical
up to (and including) Volume 35. It has been published as a bi-monthly since
the March/April 1955 issue, and later become quarterly.
The first editor of The Canadian
Theosophist was Albert E.S. Smythe. Dudley W. Barr became Acting Editor in
March 1947, Chairman of the Editorial Board in May 1947 and Editor in July
1947. While Mr. Barr remained as Editor, Miss L. Gaunt became Acting Editor at
the time of the September/October 1958 issue, then Associate Editor for the
November/December 1959 one; Mr. & Mrs. T.G. Davy are listed as Associate
Editors in July/August 1961. Doris and Ted Davy became Editors in the
September/October 1962 number, a position they maintained for thirty years.
Stan Treloar became Editor at the time of the March/April 1992 issue and holds
this position currently.
This magazine has been the principal instrument
of information in Canada on theosophical topics. First 18 volumes were
