| | | Book of Dyzan
An Eastern occult text, reputedly of Tibetan origin, used by Madame Helena P. Blavatsky as the basis for the commentaries which form the first book of her Secret Doctrine (1888).
Blavatsky claimed to have seen a manuscript of the Book of Dzyan while studying esoteric lore in Tibet. She also claimed this and other ancient manuscripts were safeguarded from profane eyes by the initiates of an Occult Brotherhood. The work had originally, according to Blavatsky, been written in the sacred language of Senzar.
Often described as a puzzling and conflicting book of abstract ideas, the Book of Dyzan is actually an ancient Sanskrit text that gives, by means of esoteric symbolism, the history of cosmic evolution. Blavatsky and other occultists maintained that the book dates back to Atlantean times.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since 1995 — at first in a free web space provider

with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |
