"Written in the form of question and answer, this book unfolds in easily understood language the fundamental principles of theosophia or "divine wisdom"-a term in use, the author tells us, as far back as the third century of our era when Ammonius Saccas founded his Eclectic School in order to show the common origin of the "thousand tenets" of the many religious sects of both East and West. Seen as parts of a cosmic pattern, the themes of death and rebirth; fate, destiny, free will, and karma; God and prayer, as well as the sevenfold nature of man's constitution, reveal a practical and inspiring philosophy for everyday living." --

"The Key to Theosophy" is a detailed exposition of the "ethics, science, and philosophy" of the Theosophical Society, written by one if its founding members, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (12 August 1831 - 8 May 1891) was a Russian spirit medium, occultist, and author. She co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875 and gained international popularity for being the leading theoretician of Theosophy. This book will appeal to those with an interest in the Theosophical Society, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage occult literature. Contents include: "Theosophy and the Theosophical Society", "The Meaning of the Name", "The Policy of the Theosophical Society", "The Wisdom-Religion Esoteric in all Ages", "Theosophy is not Buddhism", "Exoteric and Esoteric Theosophy", "What the Modern Theosophy Society is not", "Theosophists and the Members of the 'T.S.'", etc. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Religion and spirituality are being transformed in our late modern and secularising times. New forms of belief proliferate, often notable for not being limited to traditional systems of reference or expression. Increasingly, these new religions present worldviews which draw directly upon popular culture - or occulture - in fiction, film, art and the internet. Fantasy and Belief explores the context and implications of these types of beliefs through the example of the Otherkin community. The Otherkin are a loosely-affiliated group who believe themselves to be in some way more than just human, their non-humanity often rooted in the characters and narratives of popular fantasy and science fiction. Challenging much current sociological thinking about spirituality and consumption, Fantasy and Belief reveals how popular occulture operates to recycle, develop, and disseminate metaphysical ideas, and how the popular and the sacred are combining in new ways in today's world.
