| The term ''tulpa'' in its modern usage first appeared in the book ''Magic and Mystery in Tibet'' (1929) by the Theosophist Alexandra David-Néel and based on the Tibetan word [https://dictionary.christian-steinert.de/#%7B%22activeTerm%22%3A%22sprul%20pa%22%2C%22lang%22%3A%22tib%22%2C%22inputLang%22%3A%22tib%22%2C%22currentListTerm%22%3A%22sprul%20pa%22%2C%22forceLeftSideVisible%22%3Afalse%2C%22offset%22%3A0%7D ''sprulpa''], which approximately means emanation or manifestation. Tulpamancy was popularized and secularized on 4chan and Reddit beginning in 2009.
