' Rebel Mystik ' describes the life and times of Helena Petrovna Blavasky, the founder of the Theosophical Society.
It begins with the first visit to the adolescent Blavatsky of spectral figures, which she called her 'hunchbacks'.
It follows her world travels and flirtations with spiritualism, Hinduism, occultism and pot-smoking.
It is a 'potted bio' of one of the most controversial figures in the alternative spirituality business.
