Alice Bailey (1880–1949,) born Alice La Trobe-Bateman, was a British-American writer and theosophist known for her esoteric teachings and contributions to the New Age movement. Her works on spirituality, meditation, and consciousness shaped modern metaphysical thought.
Born in Manchester, England, Bailey was raised in a strict Christian household. In 1895, she claimed a mysterious figure visited her, influencing her spiritual journey. After working as a YMCA evangelist, she moved to the U.S. in 1907 and joined the Theosophical Society.
Bailey’s writings were largely dictated by a spiritual entity she called “the Tibetan” (Djwal Khul.) Her most influential works include Initiation, Human and Solar (1922,) exploring spiritual initiation, A Treatise on Cosmic Fire (1925,) discussing universal energy, and The Externalisation of the Hierarchy (1957,) examining spiritual governance.
She founded the Lucis Trust, an organization dedicated to esoteric education and global goodwill. Her teachings emphasized the Age of Aquarius, planetary evolution, and meditation in spiritual growth.
