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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore Besterman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596053739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596053731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"Theodore Besterman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579805384959,"sku":"9781596053731","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9cd8cf2-5434-4894-b5c2-6374beaa5c82.jpg?v=1763876774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-dictionary-of-theosophy-theodore-besterman-9781596053731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
