Theosophical Society and one of the most controversial English writers.



‚A Textbook of Theosophy‘ is considered by many to be the definitive guide to Theosophy. Theosophy is thought to be a part of the broader field of esotericism, referring to wisdom that offers the individual enlightenment and salvation.
