fountain source of occultism

This text appears to survey the origins and underlying principles of occultism as a body of hidden knowledge and spiritual practice. Its historical value lies in presenting a synthetic, early modern interpretation of esoteric traditions for a general readership.

Gottfried de Purucker (1874–1942) was a Theosophical author and leader of the Theosophical Society in Point Loma, and later the Theosophical Society of Pasadena. His extensive writings present a systematic metaphysical and cosmological exposition of Theosophy, emphasizing evolution, spiritual hierarchies, and esoteric philosophy.
