Kiu-ti +

For information on ''Khiu-ti'' or ''Kiu-ti'', de Zirkoff refers readers to ''Collected Writings'', volume VI, page 425. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.3)#513|3:513]][[SMW::on]]). The appendix refers the reader to volume VI for information about the books of Kiu-ti. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.4)#654|4:654]][[SMW::on]]). De Zirkoff describes Kiu-ti as a Tibetan series of occult writings presenting esoteric teachings through allegory and symbolism. He places the ''Book of Dzyan'', concerned chiefly with cosmogony, among its early volumes. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.6)#425|6:425]][[SMW::on]]). The appendix gives the variants Kiu-ti and Khiu-ti and refers to volume VI, page 425, for further information. (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.7)#378|7:378]][[SMW::on]]). The bibliography refers the reader to Vol. V, p. 425, for information (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.8)#414|8:414]][[SMW::on]]).

The ''astral ''or “Thought Body” [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Kiyun +

Or the god ''Kivan ''which was worshipped by the Israelites in the wilderness and was probably identical with Saturn and even with the god Siva. Indeed, as the Zendic H is S in India (their “hapta” is “sapta”, etc.), and as the letters K, H, and S, are interchangeable, Siva may have easily become ''Kiva ''and ''Kivan'' [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

([[BCW|BCW editors]], [[Blavatsky H.P. - The Dangers of Practical Magic#62|BCW 14:62]]) The [https://books.google.com/books?id=kfMGAAAAcAAJ Bavarian State Library copy catalogued in Google Books] attributes the 1784 edition to J.

Klikoosha +

One possessed by the Evil one. Lit., a “crier out”, a “screamer”, as such unfortunates are periodically attacked with fits during which they crow like cocks, neigh, bray and prophesy [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Klippoth +

Shells: used in the Kabbalah in several senses; (1) evil spirits, demons; (2) the shells of dead human beings, not the physical body, but the remnant of the personality after the spirit has departed; (3) the Elementaries of some authors. [w.w.w.] [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Kneph +

Also ''Cneph ''and ''Nef'', endowed with the same attributes as Khem. One of the gods of creative Force, for he is connected with the Mundane Egg. He is called by Porphyry “the creator of the world”; by Plutarch the “unmade and eternal deity”; by Eusebius he is identified with the ''Logos; ''and Jamblichus goes so far as almost to identify him with Brahmâ since he says of him that “this god is intellect itself, intellectually perceiving itself, and consecrating intellections to itself; and ''is to be worshipped in silence''”. One form of him, adds Mr. Bonwick “was '''Av '''meaning ''flesh''. He was criocephalus, with a solar disk on his head, and standing on the serpent Mehen. In his left hand was a viper, and a cross was in his right. He was actively engaged in the underworld upon a mission of creation.” Deveria writes: “His journey to the lower hemisphere appears to symbolise the evolutions of substances which are born to die and to be reborn”. Thousands of years before Kardec, Swedenborg, and Darwin appeared, the old Egyptians entertained their several philosophies. (''Eg. Belief and Mod. Thought''.)

Kneph, The +

Published under the Authority of the Sovereign Sanctuary for Great Britain and Ireland. Editor: Bro. Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie, IX(degree), LL.D., 32(degree)(first six issues), then James Hill, John Yarker, et alia. Succeeded by: Zuzimoth January 1, 1881-July 28, 1900. The last numbered issue was that for August 1895, and only one issue seems to have been issued thereafter. This was the organ of John Yarker's Antient & Primitive Rite of Masonry, which has intimate connections with the origins of the Theosophical Society and with later occult organizations, such as Theodor Reuss' O.T.O. Despite its notoriety for contributions by Mackenzie and Yarker, the journal by and large consisted of lodge news and of Yarker's interminable efforts to establish his Masonic genealogy. Listed in F. Leigh Gardner, A Catalogue Raisonne of Works on the Occult Sciences, Vol. 1, Rosicrucian Books (London: Privately Printed, 1903). Copy in Chancellor Robert L. Livingston Masonic Library, New York.
