    Blavatsky
    Theosophical Society (TS). A naturally gifted psychic (and talented pianist, artist and writer), HPB was born at Ekaterinoslav in what is now Ukraine into a prominent Russian aristocratic family. She was married at 17 to General N. V. Blavatsky, from whom she quickly separated. She travelled widely in Europe, Asia and the Americas and is best known as author of the profoundly influential esoteric works, Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine. Literary giants such as William Butler Yeats and James Joyce acknowledged her influence, along with occult leaders such as Aleister Crowley, A. E. Waite, S.L. Macgregor Mathers, etc., and psychologists including Carl Jung and Rudolph Steiner. Mahatma Gandhi himself was set on his path by meeting her in London in 1890 and studying her Key to Theosophy. The leading astrologers of the later 19th and early 20th Centuries were deeply affected by her work. Esoteric Astrology and modern psychological astrology have grown out of Theosophical teachings. Having set a massive wave in motion that is reverberating still, she died in London in 1891. More on HPB also more detail here (both offsite).
