Enchanted Life

The book is a complete collection of occult and mystical stories by the eminent Russian philosopher and esotericist E. P. Blavatsky. She is known worldwide as the founder of Theosophy, a syncretic religious-mystical doctrine concerning the union of the human soul with the divine. The basic tenets of this doctrine are set forth in her seminal works: The Secret Doctrine, Isis Unveiled, and The Key to Theosophy, which are well known to the reading public. Less frequently published are her travel sketches on the cultural traditions and customs of the peoples of India: From the Caves and Jungles of Hind and The Mysterious Tribes of the Blue Mountains. However, few people know that Elena Petrovna Blavatsky was also an accomplished prose writer. She wrote some of the most interesting and thrilling stories, the striking distinctive feature of which was the author's vivid mystical experience combined with the peculiar "co-authorship" of the high Adepts of the Secret Doctrine, known as the Mahatmas, or the Great Teachers. The reader will find these stories in this volume, and they are unlikely to leave them indifferent.
