The Pilgrim and the Pilgrimage
Emily Sellon

The first in a series of Theosophical works presented under the imprint of Wisdom Tradition Books. Emily Sellon was an active Theosophical leader, teacher, and supporter for all of her adult life. This book is taken from a weekend seminar she led, offering her integrative view of Theosophical theory and practice. She found the great principles in The Secret Doctrine to be not just theory, but a practical guide to living.

In the last chapter, The Goal of the Pilgrimage, she says,"We are all walking on the same path. We are all seeking the same end, no matter how diverse our paths may be, and are enriched by the fact that so many people contribute from so many different points of view."

In another talk she was quoted as having said, "Theosophy is everything, but not everything is Theosophy."


Emily Sellon was born in New York where she was active in theosophical work for all her adult life. She first joined the Theosophical Society at the age of 21. Her first job was cataloguing the library of the New York T.S., which provided her a unique opportunity to familiarize herself with the whole spectrum of theosophical literature. Subsequently she has served the New York Branch of the T.S. in almost every capacity: as secretary, program committee chairperson, vice-president, and president. During her presidency, the New York T.S. purchased their own building. Emily Sellon was also active in the Northeast Federation and helped to found the first Quest Bookshop in New York City. Emily served three terms on the National Board of Directors and has been a frequent speaker at the national center of the Theosophical Society in America.
