Information on the principle Sanskrit, Pahlavi, Tibetan, Pali, Chaldean, Persian, Scandinavian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Kabalistic and Gnostic words, and Occult terms generally used in Theosophical literature (preface). A sensational medium in her Russian homeland, Blavatsky married in her 17th year a man very much her senior, Nicephore Blavatsky, a Russian official in Caucasia, from whom she was separated after a few months. During her next 20 years Blavatsky appears to have traveled widely in Canada, Texas, Mexico, and India, with 2 attempts on Tibet. In one of these she seems to have crossed the frontier alone in disguise, been lost in the desert, and, after many adventures, been conducted back by a party of horseman . In 1875 she conceived the plan of combining the spiritualistic control with the Buddhist legends about Tibetan sages (EB-11). She was the founder of the Theosophical Society in 1875 in New York.
