Charles Webster Leadbeater was een invloedrijk lid van de Theosofische Vereniging en een productief auteur over occulte onderwerpen. Zijn interesse in spiritualisme leidde ertoe dat hij de Anglicaanse Kerk verliet ten gunste van de Theosofische Vereniging, waar hij zich grondig verdiepte in de verborgen kanten van het leven. Hij schreef meer dan 69 boeken en pamfletten die deze aspecten gedetailleerd onderzochten. Zijn inspanningen verzekerden hem tot aan zijn dood in 1934 de status van een van de leidende figuren van de vereniging.
