Episode 101: Madame Blavatsky part 2: Secret Doctrine, Magic Societies, and Atlantis

Pumpkin Hill Radio: Paranormal Mysteries, Conspiracies, and Unexplained Phenomena

We're back with part 2! In this second part of our deep dive into Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, we explore the writing of The Secret Doctrine (1888), her most influential and controversial work. Subtitled The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy, it presented a vast cosmology drawn from Hinduism, Buddhism, Kabbalah, and occult sources — while introducing her infamous Root Race theory and vision of Atlantis. We also trace her later writings (The Key to Theosophy, The Voice of the Silence), the creation of the Esoteric Section, her alliance with Annie Besant, her declining health, and her death in 1891. From the Coulomb Affair fallout to her enduring legacy, this episode examines Blavatsky’s final years, her esoteric teachings, and how her Atlantis narrative shaped modern occultism, New Age thought, and conspiracy lore.
