Alice Anne Bailey (1880-1949) was a neo-Theosophist, one of the first writers to use the term ‘New Age’, and disciple of Madame Blavatsky. Bailey claimed her over 25 works on theosophical subjects were telepathically dicated to her by the Tibetan master Djwal Khul. This work concerns the ‘seven rays’ of fundamental energy that empower manifestation, creativity, Divinity, and all life. Bailey’s admirers included figure as diverse Lou Reed, Van Morrison, and Eleanor Roosevelt. £125.00
