Blavatsky, Helena

Helena Blavatsky was a 19th-century Russian occultist and spiritual teacher who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She promoted the idea that spiritual wisdom and ancient mystical teachings, derived from Eastern traditions and other esoteric sources, could help humanity evolve spiritually. Blavatsky's writings, such as "The Secret Doctrine," influenced modern esoteric thought and encouraged the study of spirituality beyond conventional religion. Her work aimed to integrate science, philosophy, and spirituality, inspiring ongoing interest in mystical and metaphysical ideas.
