The journal was first published by Blavatsky.[2] The first issues were co-edited with Mabel Collins. From 1889 until Blavatsky's death in May 1891 Annie Besant was a co-editor. Besant then published the journal until September 1895, when George Robert Stowe Mead became a co-editor. The journal appeared twelve times a year and was 80 to 90 pages long.[1] The last of twenty volumes was published in August 1897. More than 2800 articles were published in this journal between 1887 and 1897.[3] Contributing authors included W.B.Yeats.[4] Blavatsky’s "Luciferian" editorials provided inspiration to generations of adept esoteric writers that were to follow.[5]
In September 1897 the journal was renamed to de:The Theosophical Review.[6]
In 1979, the Theosophical Society in the Netherlands began publishing a Dutch Lucifer. In 2013, the English version of the magazine was resurrected.[7][8]
