The Path is a large painting executed in oils and gesso by Reginald Machell, a pupil of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. It hangs in the headquarters of the Theosophical Society, Pasadena.
"In the artist's words, 'THE PATH is the way by which the human soul must pass in its evolution to full spiritual self-consciousness.'"[1]
The work measures 74 inches by 89 inches (188 cm x 226 cm). It hangs in an ornate frame that the artist crafted himself.[2]
