The Secret Doctrine

Description

The Secret Doctrine for over 100 years remains in print. And is today the most comprehensive sourcebook of the esoteric tradition. It outlines the fundamental tenets of the Wisdom Archaic Ages. The Secret Doctrine is challenging, prophetic, and strikingly modern, it directly addresses the perennial questions all students of Theosophy have.

From the reawakening of the gods after a Night of the Universe to the ultimate reunion of cosmos with its divine source. Supplementary sections discuss relevant scientific issues as well as the mystery language of myths, symbols, and allegories, helping the reader decipher the often-abstruse imagery of the world’s sacred literature.

The Secret Doctrine is a 3-volume set consisting of the Vol. I and Vol. II plus an Index in a slipcase.

V. Blavatsky, and shortly thereafter began more than 20 years of extensive travel, bringing her into contact with mystic traditions the world over. She was the principal founder of the Theosophical Society in New York City in 1875 devoting her extraordinary literary talents to humanitarian purposes until her death in London, England, on May 8, 1891.
