H.P. Blavatsky 
Occultism Versus The Occult Arts 

Combining shamanistic, Hindu, Buddhist, Neoplatonist, and Cabalistic lore to reconstruct what she considered to be the primordial human wisdom, Blavatsky forcefully engaged its concepts with those of the science and religion of her day. p A woman of independent and colorful character, Blavatsky evoked strong responses, both positive and negative, and left a permanent legacy whose influence on modern cultural movements in both India and the West is increasingly recognized.
Helena Blavatsky has had perhaps a greater influence than any other single person on modern occultism and alternative spirituality.
