Father-Mother is a compound term used by H. P. Blavatsky in some different ways. She defines it as the "primordial Substance or Spirit-matter".[1] In this sense, Father-Mother is related to svabhavat[2][3]. In other passages "father-mother" is used to refer to the more concrete emanation akasha.[4][5] In yet another sense, "father-mother" refers to the second Logos[6][7]
