SAKTISM. An erotic mysticism associated with the worship of
goddesses. -from A Dictionary of Theosophy Here, in one concise
volume first published in 1926, is a glossary of the language of
theosophy, or "the essential truth underlying all religious,
ethical, philosophical, and other teaching," from Abhava
("Non-being, non-existence, negation") to Zarathushtra ("The name
given to one of the Servers"). Steeped in the spirituality of
ancient India and fueled by the occult fads of the early 20th
century, this is a fascinating, highly browsable guide to a
forerunner of today's wide-ranging, metaphysically encompassing New
Age thought. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Besterman's
Crystal-Gazing. British bibliographer, and editor THEODORE
BESTERMAN (1904-1976) is remembered chiefly as a scholar of the
philosopher Voltaire, though his interests ranged from anthropology
to the paranormal. His many books include Annie Besant: A Modern
Prophet and Divining Rod: An Experimental and Psychological
Investigation.
