Light on the Path - Mabel Collins
Introduction
The years between 1875 and 1904 stand as a watershed moment in the history of spiritual movements: it was the moment when the sublime mystical sciences of the East cautiously reached out to touch the awakening consciousness of the materialist West, and for a moment it looked as if the meeting heralded the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The year 1875 saw the births of both the Theosophical Society and Aleister Crowley, but it was also the starting gun of a migration of oriental
ideas and an assortment of gurus
to the shores of England and America. In 1893 a World's Parliament of Religions was held as part of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The two-week event was the first major interfaith conclave of both the Eastern and Western traditions. Christian Science's Mary Baker Eddy was in attendance, as well as Swami Vivekananda. It could be argued that the ecumenical, new thought,
new age,

movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries were born in Chicago in those warm days of September 1893.
It must have been a very exciting time—a season that held the promise of a world united by the common bond of those sublimely simple and universal principles at the heart of all religions and spiritual movements.

The birth of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in England came in 1888, and in the years that followed a number of documents began to circulate in magical and theosophical circles. For all appearances these works had been poised, waiting in the wings as it were, for precisely right moment to be published. The 1897
