The Morning Star

A Monthly Journal of Mystical and Philosophical Research


Volume I, Issues 1-12 (May 1892 - April 1893)

Edited by Peter Davidson

Peter Davidson was the American representative of the HB of L, the Philosophie Cosmique, and the Martinist Order, among other interesting projects. He established a very interesting colony or commune in Loudsville, Georgia. Brother T. Allen Greenfield and related Artisans within the Free Communion of Congregational Illuminists are the heirs to the Davidson lineage of these Organizations and continue to engage in Theurgic and Healing activities in the same region of Georgia today. We are proud to be associated with the Congregational Illuminist movement and in the Spirit of Comradeship provide these most wonderful and interesting materials to you. This initial batch of materials comes from Asariahs research into the archives of Harry Houdini. The Occult magazine The Morning Star was published by Davidson from Loudsville, Ga., USA and these first materials represent a wonderfully clear copy of all 12 editions of the first volume from 1893. There were still ads for The Morning Star running in papers from the Koreshan Unity, as well as the Temple of the People up until at least 1911. I am sure Brother T. Allen Greenfield could provide specifics or better yet purchase his books. I hope to have more American HB of L and Philosophie Cosmique materials up in the future. But this is a pretty good start I honestly believe that with the notoriety of Thomas Burgoyne the other members of the HB of L, such as Davidson and the Theons have been given a rather unfair critique. For this reason I joyfully provide the following editions of Volume One of The Morning Star. Enjoy! Frater A.M.
