Theosophy
"The founder of Theosophy was Helena Petrovna Blavatskaya, known to her followers as Madame Blavatskv or simply 'H.P.B.' Born in Russia in 1848, she was the daughter of noble parents, granddaughter of a princess and, through the Dolgoruky family, a descendent of the 12th century saint, Michael of Chernigov.
In her youth she rejected Orthodox Christianity and, in fact, proclaimed 'a venomous hatred of Christianity' throughout her whole life (Marion Meade, Madame Blavatsky: The Woman Behind the Myth)."
