Kabballah, Magic, Talismans & Astrology

In September 1887, Lucifer magazine was founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891); and Mabel Collins (1851–1927) was invited to be the co-Editor. The publication focused on Theosophy, occultism, the Eastern and Western religious traditions, philosophy and more. One year after Lucifer was launched, more precisely in October 1888, Blavatsky announced that "due to severe illness of Co-Editor, Mabel Collins, H.P.B. was accepting, until further notice, the sole editorial responsibility for the magazine." Severe illness was a diplomatic way of informing that Blavatsky could no longer work with Collins due to the fact that their relationship had deteriorated. After Mabel Collins left the magazine, Annie Besant (1847–1933) assisted Blavatsky in the publication until the founder and chief-editor of Lucifer passed away in May 1891. After that, Annie Besant assumed the editorship for several months until an official announcement was released informing that both Besant and G.R.S. Mead (1863–1933) were becoming the editors of the publication. Lucifer was published until, and including, August 1897. After that, its name was changed to Theosophical Review. That was the end of Blavatsky's magazine Lucifer. Kabbalah, Magic, Talismans & Astrology is a compilation of topic related writings published in Lucifer magazine from September of 1887 to August 1891.
