Born at Ekaterinoslav in Southern Russia, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
(n e von Hahn) contracted an unconsummated marriage at 17, and
spent the next quarter of a century in a variety of adventures,
visiting most of Europe, Turkey, Egypt, South America, Mexico, USA,
Japan Java and India, and crowning her travels with a trip to Tibet
by way of Kashmir and Ladkh. Aware of the world's spiritual
dimension since childhood, it was during this latter journey that
she underwent her most intense esoteric training, obtaining occult
insights and experiences that led to the publication of her magnum
opus, the massive and densely argued 'Secret Doctrine'.'The Key to
Theosophy' is a much gentler introduction into the aims and tenets
of the society she co-founded to spread knowledge of this 'Divine
Wisdom'. The author describes in precise, logical terms the
structure of the super-sensible worlds, humanity's spiritual
evolution, and the common set of basic principles that lie behind
the world's religions. Theosophy considers itself a repository for
"the accumulated Wisdom of the ages, tested and verified by
generations of Seers..." This book is must-read for all serious
occultists and will repay serious study.
