Madame Blavatsky: Spiritual Traveller

SYNOPSISAt a time when women, like children, were expected to be seen and not heard it was said that she left her husband to become a trick rider in the circus, traveling alone she entered forbidden Tibet, she was a spiritual genius and the mother of the new age. On the other hand there are those who say she was a fraud whose one real talent was that she knew how to tell a good tale. Either way there is no doubt that her remarkable synthesis of western occultism and eastern traditions became a foundation for the New Age. Her respect for eastern culture and religion, for Buddhism and Hinduism has had a far reaching impact on the modern world.

REVIEWSJeff Stone
Madam Blavatsky, who art thou Madam Blavatsky? Have you ever wondered this? Or are you more in the club of I’ve-never-heard-of-her-until-you-said-her-name-just-now?
