L

Loganadan, C. V. +

This name credited to the publications in ''The Theosophist'', [[Theosophist/Vol5|vol. 5]] (1883–1884). +

Logi +

Lit., “flame”. This giant with his sons and kindred, made themselves finally known as the authors of every cataclysm and conflagration in heaven or on earth, by letting mortals perceive them in the midst of flames. These giant‐fiends were all enemies of man trying to destroy his work wherever they found it. A symbol of the cosmic elements [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Logia +

The secret discourses and teachings of Jesus contained in the Evangel of Matthew — in the original Hebrew, not the spurious Greek text we have — and preserved by the Ebionites and the Nazarenes in the library collected by Pamphilus, at Cæsarea. This “Evangel” called by many writers “the genuine Gospel of Matthew”, was used according to (St.) Jerome, by the Nazarenes and Ebionites of Beroea, Syria, in his own day (4th century). Like the ''Aporrheta ''or secret discourses, of the Mysteries, these Logia could only be understood with a key. Sent by the Bishops Chromatius and Heliodorus, Jerome, after having obtained permission, translated them, but found it “a difficult task” (truly so!) to reconcile the text of the “genuine” with that of the spurious Greek gospel he was acquainted with. See ''Isis Unveiled ''II., 180 ''et seq.'') [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Logos +

The manifested deity with every nation and people; the outward expression, or the effect of the cause which is ever concealed.

Loki +

The Scandinavian Evil Spirit exoterically. In esoteric philosophy “an opposing power” only because differentiating from primordial harmony. In the ''Edda, ''he is the father of the terrible Fenris Wolf, and of the Midgard Snake. By blood he is the brother of Odin, the good and valiant god; but in nature he is his opposite. Loki Odin is simply two in one. As Odin is, in one sense, vital heat, so is Loki the symbol of the passions produced by the intensity of the former [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

London Gazette +

The London Gazette is one of the official journals of record or government gazettes of the Government of the United Kingdom, and the most important among such official journals in the United Kingdom, in which certain statutory notices are required to be published. The London Gazette claims to be the oldest surviving English newspaper and the oldest continuously published newspaper in the UK, having been first published on 7 November 1665 as The Oxford Gazette. The London Gazette was first published as The Oxford Gazette on 7 November 1665. Charles II and the Royal Court had moved to Oxford to escape the Great Plague of London, and courtiers were unwilling to touch London newspapers for fear of contagion. The Gazette was "Published by Authority" by Henry Muddiman, and its first publication is noted by Samuel Pepys in his diary. The King returned to London as the plague dissipated, and the Gazette moved too, with the first issue of The London Gazette (labelled No. 24) being published on 5 February 1666.[7] The Gazette was not a newspaper in the modern sense: it was sent by post to subscribers, not printed for sale to the general public.

Russian general and statesman, a participant in the Russo-Turkish War and later minister of the interior. [[Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna|H. P. Blavatsky]] referred to his career in opposing a disparaging characterization of Armenians. +

Lost Word +

It ought to stand as “lost words” and lost secrets, in general, for that which is termed the lost “Word” is no word at all, as in the case of the Ineffable Name (''q.v''.) The Royal Arch Degree in Masonry, has been “in search of it” since it was founded. But the “dead” — ‐especially those ''murdered'' — do not speak; and were even “the Widow’s Son” to come back to life “materialized”, he could hardly reveal that which never existed in the form in which it is ''now ''taught. The SHEMHAMPHORASH (the separated name, through the power of which according to his detractors, Jeshu Ben Pandira is said to have wrought his miracles, after stealing it from the Temple) — whether derived from the “self existent substance” of Tetragrammaton, or not, can never be a substitute, for the lost LOGOS of divine magic [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Lotus +

A most occult plant, sacred in Egypt, India and else where; called “the child of the Universe bearing the likeness of its mother in its bosom”. There was a time “when the world was a golden lotus” (''padma'') says the allegory. A great variety of these plants, from the majestic Indian lotus, down to the marsh‐lotus (bird’s foot trefoil) and the Grecian “Dioscoridis”, is eaten at Crete and other islands. It is a species of nymphala, first introduced from India to Egypt to which it was‐not indigenous. See the text of ''Archaic Symbolism ''in the Appendix Viii. “The Lotus, as a Universal Symbol” [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
