Book Synopsis Between Occult Fiction and the Promotion of Theosophical Ideas by : Nico Reiher
Download or read book Between Occult Fiction and the Promotion of Theosophical Ideas written by Nico Reiher and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Martin Luther University (Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Popular Literature in America, language: English, abstract: Helena Blavatsky's "The Cave of the Echoes" is a vivid and colorful piece of occult fiction that features mysterious settings, some bizarre characters and supernatural happenings. But what exactly lies behind this occult story and how is the author and the story related to the supernatural? Is the story's purpose simply to entertain its readers or does it serve other functions such as the promotion of the author's theosophical ideas and ideology? How does a more complex knowledge of the occult help one to understand the meaning of "The Cave of the Echoes" more clearly? This paper approaches these different questions by referring to the setting, three major characters and parts of the plot of "The Cave of the Echoes". Concerning the setting, it regards the story's rather vague location and analyzes its atmosphere. The following chapter studies those three major characters of the story that are most obviously related to occult practices and therefore demand special attention: the Hungarian mesmerizer, the Shaman and the child. The fourth chapter considers the truthfulness and the function of the story, the symbolic meaning of the cloud and the procedure of mesmerization. Moreover, it tries to answer the question if the mansion of Mr. Izvertzoff is accursed by the devil. The questions mentioned above are approached by regarding both Blavatsky's theoretical theosophical works and her fictional literature. Her wide range of publications allows one to gain detailed knowledge and permit a thorough analysis and interpretation of "The Cave of the Echoes". Certainly, this paper does not attempt to fully explain occult practices and happenings as Blavatsky's literature partly does. It rather collects fragments of Blavatsky's thoughts and experiences in order to g

Book Synopsis The Secret Doctrine by : H.P. Blavatsky
Download or read book The Secret Doctrine written by H.P. Blavatsky and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2009-07-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madame Blavatsky's Victorian-era masterpiece is now scaled down to its essentials, providing the most readable, accessible experience ever of one of history's seminal occult works. The Secret Doctrine, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's masterwork on the origin and evolution of the universe and humanity itself, is arguably the most famous, and perhaps the most influential, occult book ever written. Published since 1888 only in expensive, two-volume editions of some 1,400 pages, it has long eluded the grasp of modern readers- until now. This single-volume edition, abridged and annotated by historian and Theosophical scholar Michael Gomes, places the ideas of The Secret Doctrine within reach of all who are curious. In particular, Gomes provides a critical sounding of the book's famous stanzas on the genesis of life and the cosmos- mysterious passages that Blavatsky said originated from a primeval source and which form the heart of The Secret Doctrine. Gomes scrupulously scales down the book's key writings on symbolism to their essentials, and offers notes and a glossary to illuminate arcane references. His historical and literary introduction casts new light on some of the book's sources and on the career of its brilliant and elusive author, one of the most intriguing personages of the nineteenth century. At once compact and representative of the work as a whole, this new edition of The Secret Doctrine brings unprecedented accessibility to the key esoteric classic of the modern era.
Book Synopsis Light on the Path & Through the Gates of Gold by : Mabel Collins
Download or read book Light on the Path & Through the Gates of Gold written by Mabel Collins and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mabel Collins offers her views on reality and the world around us in this superb collection of three of her most popular works: Light on the Path, Through the Gates of Gold and The Illumined Way. Each of these works offers an inspirational account of both of the tenets of theosophy, and the outlook its members had upon the world. The first part of Light on the Path is comprised of a a series of rules, which briefly cover the behaviors which adherents to spiritualism promoted by the theosophic society should follow. The second part of the book is more of a simple, instructional guide to the study of the occult. Collins discusses how a person should prepare and undertake their personal study of the supernatural; according to Collins, the laws of 'super-nature' govern the Earth, its atmosphere, and the wider universe. Through the Gates of Gold and The Illumined Way further expound on these topics further, detailing how seekers of spiritual insight and occult knowledge may progress. The Illumined Way quotes Light on the Path frequently, building on and clarifying the earlier text. A celebrated scholar and author in the theosophist movement, Mabel Collins wrote some forty-six separate works, most of them concerning topics of interest to the theosophic and occultist movements of the early 20th century. She was a devotee to theosophism for decades, and became one of the movement's most distinguished members in London after publishing Light on the Path in 1884. Collins advocated further studies of the arcane and occult, so as to further the knowledge of the theosophic society. She contributed and co-edited the magazine Lucifer, which was among the most successful periodicals of the occult to appear in the late 19th century. Here the progress of the movement, and major subjects of occult interest, were published regularly to eager audiences: in short, theosophy became fashionable. Mabel Collins was also rumored to have been the lover of Jack the Ripper. She is said to have discovered five bloodstained ties belonging to Robert Donston Stephenson; a suspect in the police hunt for the notorious serial killer. However, subsequent evidence has eliminated Stephenson from the list of potential murderers.
