The Triangle
is the second public AMORC magazine created by its founder, Harvey Spencer
Lewis, succeeding his previous magazine The
American Rosae Crucis and later
replaced by his magazine The Mystic Triangle.
As subtitle
it says: “Official Monograph of AMORC”.
His
publishing house was located at AMORC headquarters in San Francisco,
California; and its publisher was Spencer Lewis.
It was
published monthly from March 1921 to February 1924.
This was
Lewis's second attempt to create a successful magazine for his organization;
the first attempt having given up a year earlier in 1920.
The first eight issues (March 1921 to January 1922)
were in four-page newsletter format, and contained material on the doings and
progress of the order, old "mystic" prayers, and the like.
As stated in its first number: "Each issue will
contain facts relating to the growth of the Order and its various Lodges in
North America and other helpful ideas".
The next issues (2/1, et seq., August, September and October
1923) were more ambitious, with 14 pages in magazine format and contributions
directed towards the children of members.
The magazine was discontinued in February 1924 and
then revived in May 1925 as The Mystic
Triangle.
