Isis in America: The Classic Eyewitness Account of Madame Blavatsky’s Journey to America and the Occult Revolution She Ignited

There are few more intriguing, or polarising, figures in modern American spiritual history than Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. The cofounder of the Theosophical Society, Blavatsky remains a figure of fascination more than a century after her death. In ISIS IN AMERICA - one of the most unique documents of recent American spiritual history - we get a closer look at Blavatsky, through the eyes of Theosophical Society cofounder, writer, lawyer, investigator and Blavatsky confidante, Henry Steel Olcott. Olcott spent years by Blavatsky’s side, witnessing acts of aura projection and spontaneously produced objects - and undergoing his own spiritual awakening - as they laid the foundations for a new era in esoteric spirituality.
