Occultism Versus The Occult Arts

By H.P. Blavatsky and Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Book Overview

Occultism Versus The Occult Arts is a book written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a prominent figure in the esoteric and occult movements of the late 19th century. The book is a collection of essays and articles that were originally published in the Theosophical magazine, Lucifer, between 1887 and 1891. In the book, Blavatsky discusses the differences between true occultism and the various occult arts, such as divination, magic, and spiritualism. She argues that true occultism is a science that seeks to understand the hidden laws of nature and the spiritual realm, while the occult arts are often superficial and concerned with personal gain or entertainment. Blavatsky also explores the dangers of the occult arts, which she believes can lead to spiritual and moral degradation. She warns against the use of mediums, psychics, and other practitioners who claim to have supernatural abilities, and instead advocates for the study of true occultism as a means of spiritual growth and enlightenment. Overall, Occultism Versus The Occult Arts is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the world of the occult. It is a must-read for anyone interested in esotericism, spirituality, and the hidden mysteries of the universe.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Studies in Occultism, by H. P.
