This is a discussion page for Lucis Trust. The external link at the bottom of the page called "Information on the Lucis Trust and its Trustees" has several incorrect information along with mispellings, typos, false URL links, and inaccurate data on the board of trustees. The information from this document appears very bias, unjustified, and the document title appears to have been made-up trying to use the name "Lucifer" and "his trustees" as a way to portray and imply a negative connotation towards the organization. Here are the various errors from this document:

1) Lucis Trust was never named "Lucifer Trust". The publishing company was named "Lucifer Publishing Company" before the establishment of the Lucis Trust.  However, Lucis Trust has never used the name "Lucifier Trust".  It has always been Lucis Trust.  Here is an excerpt by Sarah McKechnie, president of Lucis Trust, "There are comments on the World Wide Web claiming that the Lucis Trust was once called the Lucifer Trust. Such was never the case. However, for a brief period of two or three years in the early 1920’s, when Alice and Foster Bailey were beginning to publish the books published under her name, they named their fledgling publishing company “Lucifer Publishing Company”. By 1925 the name was changed to Lucis Publishing Company and has remained so ever since.Both “Lucifer” and “Lucis” come from the same word root, lucis being the Latin generative case meaning of light. The Bailey’s reasons for choosing the original name are not known to us, but we can only surmise that they, like the great teacher H.P. Blavatsky, for whom they had enormous respect, sought to elicit a deeper understanding of the sacrifice made by Lucifer. Alice and Foster Bailey were serious students and teachers of Theosophy, a spiritual tradition which views Lucifer as one of the solar Angels, those advanced Beings Who Theosophy says descended (thus “the fall”) from Venus to our planet eons ago to bring the principle of mind to what was then animal-man. In the theosophical perspective, the descent of these solar Angels was not a fall into sin or disgrace but rather an act of great sacrifice, as is suggested in the name “Lucifer” which means light-bearer."

2) The list of trustees is incorrect - Helen Durant, David Lorimer, Ervin Laszlo, John Warren, and Pierre Cardin are NOT trustees of the organization.

3) WINDSOR INTERNATIONAL BANK is not associated with Lucis Trust according to the current president of the organization.
