World Theosophy.
A Journal Devoted to the Art of Living.
1931--1933 Monthly
Hollywood, CA. Language: English.
Publisher: Henry Hotchener. Editor: Marie R. Hotchener.
Succeeds: Theosophist (published by Hotchener from Hollywood, 1930)
1/1, January 1931-1933. 86 pp., $3.50 a year. From January through December 1930

Hotchener took over publication of the Theosophist from Annie Besant in Adyar, publishing it from Hollywood "on [Besant's] behalf." During the same period, Besant published what was called the Adyar Theosophist from India, and then in January 1931 resumed control and published the journal under the original title from Adyar, while Hotchener renamed her journal World Theosophy. The journal played a prominent role in the "fraternization movement" initiated by Gottfried De Purucker (Point Loma) to unite "real Theosophists" of whatever background. On Hotchener generally, see the note under the Channel. Contributions by the usual Adyar Theosophists, including Bishop C.W. Leadbeater, George Arundale, C. Jinarajadasa, et al.

Claude-Generated Themes:   World Theosophy was an American Theosophical monthly of the early 1930s, edited by Marie Russak Hotchener in Hollywood within the Adyar lineage. It is devoted to the Theosophical program in full: commemoration of H. P. Blavatsky, the ideal of universal brotherhood, cooperation among the rival Theosophical Societies, and the doctrines of karma and reincarnation. A comparative-religion universalism—the one wisdom behind the world's faiths—and the ethical vegetarianism characteristic of the movement round out its concerns. Where its vocabulary brushes against spiritualism or New Thought, it does so from within the Theosophical synthesis rather than as an adherent of those currents, and mediumship in particular is treated with the movement's customary reserve.
