| | H. P. Blavatsky |
 | | Born of Russian Aristocratic parents, Blavatsky, a flamboyant and charismatic personality, was from an early age aware of her psychic abilities. |
 | | Overall, Blavatsky's teachings were strongly syncretic, drawing from Indian, Tibetan, Platonic and Neoplatonic, Kabbalistic (the latter learned from Mathers), and contemporary 19th century occult and scientific sources. |
 | | Blavatsky's legacy, through all of the planes and subplanes, and eras and sub-eras, was a new occult vision of reality (further developed by later Theosophical and related esotericists such as Rudolph Steiner, Alice Bailey, etc), which offered a detailed occult analysis of the structure of manifest reality and the spiritual forces and hierarchies behind it. |
