Theosophy, derived from the Greek words for “divine wisdom,” is a philosophical and religious system originating in the 19th century. It seeks to understand the fundamental nature of the universe and humanity’s place within it through a synthesis of ancient wisdom, esoteric knowledge, and spiritual practices. Central to Theosophy is the belief in a universal brotherhood of humanity, the interconnectedness of all things, and the cyclical nature of existence, including reincarnation and karma
