This was the organ of the Finnish Theosophical Society. Pekka Ervasti, as Kaarina Koski has noted, had earlier (1900-1901) published Theosophical essays in Uusi Aiki (New Age, a weekly newspaper he edited, that could be called the first Theosophical journal in Finland. He was a Theosophist and this journal ceased in December 1907 after the Finnish section of the Theosophical Society was established in October 1907.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Tietäjä ('The Seer') was a Finnish-language Theosophical review of the early twentieth century, the organ of the Finnish Theosophical current later associated with Pekka Ervast. Its pages carry a Blavatskian cosmology — an ordering intelligence behind the regular motion of the stars — together with lodge and reading-circle organisation and translated primary sources, including passages from the Buddhist canon rendered into Finnish by Martti Humu. It is the Finnish face of the Theosophical movement, marked by the movement's characteristic turn toward comparative Buddhism, rather than a spiritualist or occult-phenomena periodical.
