The Secret Doctrine
Volumes I & III (Index only)
H. P. Blavatsky
The Theosophical Publishing House
Secret Doctrine is the monumental work of H. P. Blavatsky, synthesizing Eastern philosophy, Western occult traditions, mythology, and speculative cosmology. First issued in 1888, it became the foundational text of Theosophy and a major influence on twentieth-century spiritual, psychological, and countercultural thought.
This offering consists of Volume I and Volume III (the Index volume) only. Volume II is not present. While incomplete as a reading set, this configuration remains desirable: Volume I contains the core cosmological material, and the standalone Index volume is increasingly scarce and sought after by scholars and collectors assembling or upgrading sets.
Uniformly bound in blue cloth with gilt spine lettering, these volumes reflect the sober, institutional design language of early Theosophical Publishing House editions, intended for serious study and long-term use.
