The word theosophy, combining roots meaning "God" and "wisdom", appeared back in the 17th century, but the well-known Occultic movement by that name, under the leadership of the Russian Helena Blavatsky, appeared only around 1875. Blavatsky's theosophy combined elements of Plato's philosophy with Luciferianism , Buddhism. Hinduism and many other aspects of various spiritual thought (including reincarnation), in a way that she claimed had been divinely revealed to her. Theosophy gave birth to the Orci Tempi Orient is an off shoot of Aleister Crowley's teachings which then gave birth to The Theosophical Society, founded in 1875 to promote her beliefs, still exists, as does the Anthroposophical Society, founded by her follower Rudolf Steine.
