Editor's Note:
As a Fire Beneath the Ashes explores late 19th and early 20th century occultism’s fascination with China through a large collection of empirical sources—from the popular works of influential occult writers, like Helena Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner, to obscure pamphlets and periodicals. Focusing on textual sources, the dissertation explores the occult understanding of Chinese culture as it emerges in articles, ritual instructions, paraphrases of Chinese texts and reviews of books by influential sinologists. Based on these sources the thesis explores how occult writers incorporated China in complex narratives chartering the flow of historical traditions of ancient wisdom, thought to have survived from pre-history to the present day. Finally, the dissertation suggests that occult writers foreshadowed a broad cultural change in the image of China occurring in the early decades of the 20th century, prefiguring aspects of the New Age interest in Chinese religion as well as the utopian understanding of Chinese society developing in European Maoism.
