When in 1895 the seventh lodge was founded, a "Scandinavian Section" of the TS Adyar with headquarters in Stockholm was established.
[1] In the 1970s the members of the lodges of the Danish Section began to study the works of Alice Bailey.
[1][2] The Danish TS voted in August 1989 for the creation of an independent Teosofisk Forening (Theosophical Union).
In November 1997 the name was changed to Theosophical Association Scandinavia (TAS).
Some members of independent theosophical organisations in Scandinavia also participated in the World Parliament of Religions in Barcelona in 2004.
