Theosophy & Modern Esotericism

Blavatsky, Steiner, Gurdjieff and the occult revival.

The Theosophical Society, founded in New York in 1875 by Helena Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott and William Quan Judge, brought together Western occultism and Asian religion in a synthesis that profoundly influenced modern spirituality. This section covers Theosophy and its offshoots, Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy, the Fourth Way of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, spiritualism, the New Thought movement and its Law of Attraction, from Phineas Quimby to The Secret, and the roots of the New Age movement.
