Helena Blavatsky (1831 – 1891) was a Russian mystic and author who gained a following as the leading theoretician of Theosophy and the co-founder of the Theosophical Society.[1]
Biography
A member of a minor noble house from Russia, Blavatsky met the British Assassin Simeon Price via an out-of-work opera singer who had attached himself to Blavatsky in 1868. Desperate for money, Blavatsky sought to offer her mystic services to Simeon, claiming to have knowledge of Simeon's prior return of a stolen heirloom to a family and offered to help him locate things through her supposed connection to the spirit realm. She offered the Ankh but the next day, Helena's face went white when Simeon mentioned it as someone stole it from her.[2]
