Editorial Reviews

Product Description

For those who would like to explore the essence of The Secret Doctrine, or who have had difficulty penetrating its two large volumes, An Invitation to The Secret Doctrine should prove welcome. Based on Blavatsky's study suggestions given to her personal students, it is a succinct and appealing statement of the SD's principal teachings in her own words. Included are the Bowen notes of HPB's comments, relevant pages from The Secret Doctrine, photographs of HPB's manuscript, a historical account of 'The Writing of The Secret Doctrine' by Kirby Van Mater, and a glossary of terms.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just so you know, February 9, 2008
Gary Reichenbacher is a Christian with apparently nothing better to do than write bad reviews for books he hasn't read...in a backwoods attempt to save us all from the abysmal pits of hell...which is where we'll all end up should we decide to read the aforementioned books. If you share his narrow view of philosophy chances are you're illiterate and not looking to buy any of the books he's reviewed in the first place. If you are a free thinker looking to expand your spiritual and intellectual horizons then you should take all of his bad reviews as further proof that you'll enjoy the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction for beginners, February 11, 2001
By A Customer
Helene Petrovna Blavatsky has a common sense approach to magik and it's practices. This is a good mid-level introduction into pagan 'secrets', with well written examples for your own rituals.

1.0 out of 5 stars Part 1 Helena's little book of horror stories, February 16, 2006
Great stuff for the next halloween campfire. These stories are really scary to tell and fun to watch the kids get invovled and then they can add to the story on their own. just to see creativity added to on this level allows one to see the creative mind of ms. helena doesn't go far enough to quench the thurst and craving for scary tales!
