The Theosophical Society, was founded in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Henry S. Olcott.
It is a worldwide organization present in more then 60 countries around the world. The first Hellenic Theosophical branch was known as Ionian, and was founded in the Island of Kerkyra (Corfu) in 1877.
The Theosophical Society in Greece is one of the oldest branches of the mother society.

"As the Theosophical Society has spread far and wide over the world, and as members of all religions have become members of it without surrendering their special dogmas, teachings and beliefs of their respective faiths, it is thought desirable to emphasize the fact that there is no doctrine, no opinion, by whomsoever taught or held, that is in any way binding on any member of the Society, none which any member is not free to accept or reject. Approval of its three Objects is the sole condition of membership.
No teacher, or writer, from H.P. Blavatsky onwards, has any authority to impose his or her teachings or opinions on members. Every member has an equal right to follow any school of thought, but has no right to force the choice on any other. Neither a candidate for any office nor any voter can be rendered ineligible to stand or to vote, because of any opinion held, or because of membership in any school of thought. Opinions or beliefs neither bestow privileges nor inflict penalties.
The Members of the General Council earnestly request every member of the Theosophical Society to maintain, defend and act upon these fundamental principles of the Society, and also fearlessly to exercise the right of liberty of thought and of expression thereof, within the limits of courtesy and consideration for others."
The three objects of the Theosophical Socety, are:
1.To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color.
2.To encourage the study of Comparative Religion, Philosophy, and Science.
3.To investigate unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in Man.
