Charles W. Leadbeater
Charles W. Leadbeater (1854–1934) was a British Theosophist, clairvoyant, and occult author who played a significant role in the development of Theosophy alongside Helena Blavatsky and Annie Besant. He claimed to have clairvoyant abilities, which he used to explore the astral plane, past lives, and hidden spiritual forces, detailed in works like The Hidden Side of Things and The Astral Plane. Leadbeater was instrumental in shaping modern esoteric thought, introducing ideas on chakras, auras, and subtle energies that influenced the New Age movement. Though controversial, particularly for his personal life, his teachings on spiritual evolution and esoteric Christianity remain influential in occult circles.
