Ukrainian-born Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831-1891) was a powerful
and controversial member of the spiritualist world and for a time
famous for her powers as a medium. She was a co-founder of the
theosophy movement in the United States, which she later extended
to Europe and India, drawing from her extensive global travels and
her familiarity with a broad range of belief systems, from Asian
religions to New Orleans voodoo, as well as secret societies such
as the Freemasons. Drawing from Hinduism and Buddhism, theosophy
aimed to understand the mystic powers of the universe and promote
the study of other religions. The first two volumes of The Secret
Doctrine were published in 1888, but this third volume was
published in 1897 by spiritualist Annie Besant from Blavatsky's
notes. It looks at some ancient spiritual teachings and mysteries,
and the development of the practice of magic.
