=== Lucis Trust === {{Main|Lucis Trust}} Alice and Foster Bailey founded the Lucis Trust in 1922. Its activities include the Arcane School, World Goodwill, Triangles, a quarterly magazine called The Beacon, and a publishing company primarily intended to publish Bailey's many books. The Arcane School gives instruction and guidance in meditation via correspondence based on the ideas in Bailey's books. World Goodwill is intended to promote better human relations through goodwill, which they define as "love in action". That "action" included the support of the [[United Nations]]. The "Triangles" are groups of three people who agree to link up in thought each day and to meditate on right human relations, visualizing light and love pouring into human minds and hearts, followed by the use of the [[Great Invocation]]. It is not necessary for each person to link in thought at the same time each day and it only takes a few moments of time. Alice and Foster Bailey founded "Lucifer Publishing Company" ("'[[Lucifer]]' and 'Lucis' come from the same word root, ''lucis'' being the Latin genitive case meaning ''of light'').<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lucistrust.org/arcane_school/talks_and_articles/the_esoteric_meaning_lucifer|title=The Esoteric Meaning of Lucifer (Lucis Trust)|website=www.lucistrust.org}}</ref> After the first two or three years, the name was changed to "Lucis Publishing Co."<ref>Initiation, Human and Solar.
