H P Blavatsky, who co-founded the Theosophical Society, wrote of Theosophia and defined it thus: ‘Wisdom-religion or Divine Wisdom. The substratum and basis of all the World-religions and philosophies taught and practised by a few elect since man became a thinking being.’
Ah, Theosophia, that mellifluous-sounding word which symbolises Theos, the divine masculine, entwined forever in a creative embrace with the divine, wise feminine, Sophia. Bearing this great idea in mind, what might we call those who love Theosophia, the Ageless Wisdom, and live the Divine Ethics? How then shall we define ‘Theosophians’? Most importantly, since Theosophy is ‘the great renunciation of self’, this is not a title you may bestow on yourself. These people, recognised by their peers, are a rare breed, old souls, original thinkers who may or may not be members of the T S. They may not consciously know a great deal about the Ageless Wisdom, but they practice it anyhow: loving humanity and Truth more than themselves. - Edward Archer
