The Veil of Isis: Helena Blavatsky: Mother of the New Age

Was Helena Blavatsky a great mystic or a charlatan? This book dramatically explores this question. Helena Blavatsky was born in 1831 into a well-off Russian family and she died in London in 1890. Her strange powers enabled her to telepathically move objects and to call spirits. Before she finally settled in London, she lived in both the USA and India. Her life was always full of controversy, drama and strange mystical events. To her followers, she was a modern Buddha. To her critics, she was nothing more than an absurd, promiscuous charlatan, who had ridiculous ideas about the powers of the human mind.
