Helena P. Blavatsky
Helena P. Blavatsky (1831–1891) was a Russian mystic, occultist, and co-founder of the Theosophical Society, which sought to unify Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. Her most influential works, The Secret Doctrine and Isis Unveiled, present a vast esoteric cosmology based on ancient wisdom, karma, reincarnation, and the evolution of the soul. She claimed to be in contact with hidden spiritual masters known as the Mahatmas, who guided her teachings on Theosophy. Blavatsky's work laid the foundation for modern esotericism, influencing movements such as the New Age, Western occultism, and comparative religious studies.
