Monthly Journal Started to
Circulate in November 2000
Carlos Cardoso Aveline
In November 2000 “The Aquarian Theosophist” was founded by Jerome Wheeler. The first edition of “The Aquarian” circulated from Los Angeles
“Since the present is shorn of its causal basis when dissociated from the past, just as the future is an unknown quantity when dissociated from the present, we must view The Theosophical Movement through its many theosophical and occult societies, their publications and tendencies. And, since mere facts have but a commodity value at best, our study will treat of their significance and bearing in the light of Theosophical history and philosophy. To afford, then, a given point of departure, a natural or ‘ultimate moment’ in Theosophical Karma, which marks the genesis of the future in the womb of the present, our study will begin in the light of two statements of Theosophical principles, policy and practice.”
In 2000, the founding-editor of “The Aquarian” was already an experienced student of H.P. Blavatsky.

“The Aquarian” is committed to the original teachings of modern theosophy. Its goals include making an examination of the struggle between truth and falsehood in the soul of the esoteric movement. The journal also accompanies key world events through its page on Facebook.
In October 2013 the “Aquarian” published its first book in paper, “The Fire and Light of Theosophical Literature”.[1]
A second book appeared in Portuguese language. It is a translation of “Light on the Path” (“Luz no Caminho”), by M.C., with a 2014 prologue and explanatory footnotes showing the mistakes of its author according to the viewpoint stated in writing by Helena Blavatsky.
In September 2016, the editors of “The Aquarian” participated in the founding of the Independent Lodge of Theosophists, which works in sympathy with the ULT. The Independent Lodge aims at helping the long-term effort for the future of mankind. Ethics is a top priority for the ILT, which adopts as its main references the writings of H. P. Blavatsky and the Letters from Mahatmas.
