The beginnings of theosophy in Poland : from early visions to Polish Theosophical Society

The paper analyses the functioning of groups promoting Theosophical ideas in Poland from the beginning of the 20th century. Subsequent institutional stages of Theosophical groups are discussed, such as the Circle led by Kazimierz Stabrowski, the Alba lodge, the Warsaw Theosophical Society, the Polish Theosophical Societies in Warsaw and in Nydek, up to and including the registration of the Polish Theosophical Society as a section of The Theoso- phical Society in Adyar.
