Light

A Journal devoted to the Highest Interests of Humanity, both Here and Hereafter

(London, England)

(2 November 1881 − )

(1881-)

Light was published by the London Spiritualist Alliance beginning in 1881. William Eglinton and other early London Theosophists were frequently mentioned in early issues. Publication was taken over in 1884 by the College of Pyschic Studies, founded by William Stainton Moses, and continues to this day.

This was the preeminent spiritualist journal in England for more than a century, directed, unlike its contemporaries the Medium and Daybreak and The Two Worlds, more to the educated, less avowedly Christian and more urbane classes of London than to working-class or provincial audiences (IAPSOP).
