An erotic mysticism associated with the worship of goddesses. -from A Dictionary of Theosophy Here, in one concise volume first published in 1926, is a glossary of the language of theosophy, or \"the essential truth underlying all religious, ethical, philosophical, and other teaching,\" from Abhava (\"Non-being, non-existence, negation\") to Zarathushtra (\"The name given to one of the Servers\"). Steeped in the spirituality of ancient India and fueled by the occult fads of the early 20th century, this is a fascinating, highly browsable guide to a forerunner of today's wide-ranging, metaphysically encompassing New Age thought. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Besterman's Crystal-Gazing. British bibliographer, and editor THEODORE BESTERMAN (1904-1976) is remembered chiefly as a scholar of the philosopher Voltaire, though his interests ranged from anthropology to the paranormal. His many books include Annie Besant: A Modern Prophet and Divining Rod: An Experimental and Psychological Investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613447274647,"sku":"9781596053731","price":1768.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781596053731.webp?v=1775085263","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-dictionary-of-theosophy-9781596053731","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
