H. P. (Helena Petrovna) Blavatsky
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891) was a Russian philosopher, author, and co-founder of the Theosophical Society, which sought to explore the esoteric and mystical aspects of religion, science, and philosophy. She is best known for her works "The Secret Doctrine" and "Isis Unveiled," where she combined Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with metaphysical ideas. Blavatsky claimed to have received spiritual insights from ascended masters and sought to reveal ancient, hidden wisdom to the modern world. Her work greatly influenced the development of modern occultism and alternative spiritual movements.
