By now, all of you know how I just love to pull out the dictionary and look at words.  Dictionaries can be so fun and unexpected, kind of like a road trip without a map.  The sun and the moon tell you which direction...unless it's cloudy, but as they say, "getting halfway there is a quarter of the journey."

Here's an excerpt from an article on theosophies from thefreedictionary.com. 

the·os·o·phy  (th-s-f) n. pl. the·os·o·phies 1. Religious philosophy or speculation about the nature of the soul based on mystical insight into the nature of God. 2. often Theosophy The system of beliefs and teachings of the Theosophical Society, founded in New York City in 1875, incorporating aspects of Buddhism and Brahmanism, especially the belief in reincarnation and spiritual evolution.

Where do other theosophies occur that we haven't looked at as of yet?  Science fiction and fantasy, folklore, movies, music, poetry or prose?  What do these look like?  What is the knowledge possessed by the 'gods' of these realms.

Finally, what about those theosophies created by individuals, whether they be of true, divine insight or simply the ravings of the mad?  

Finally, what of the theosophers of those theosophies.

How much room for speculation, wonder and interest!  Where do you want to go today?
