Alice Bailey (1880‑1949), writer and lecturer on neo-theosophy, was born in England in 1880 as Alice LaTrobe Bateman. After spells as an evangelical Christian and a member of the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society, Alice Bailey founded the Arcane School in 1923. Her books popularized notions such as the coming New Age and the Network of Light , whose triangles she initiated in 1937. They include the prayer known as “The Great Invocation ” which is still used by esoteric groups to this day. The movement and term New Age was once a name for Bailey's movement, but is nowadays a much broader term. She was also a notable astrologer and contributed much to the field during her lifetime, even helping to form a whole new branch of modern astrology termed Esoteric Astrology .

Alice Bailey died in 1949. Her work is continued by the Lucis Trust .
