Charles Webster Leadbeater (1854-1934) was a prominent English clergyman, theosophist, and writer, known for his involvement in the Theosophical Society, a spiritual and philosophical movement founded in the late 19th century. Leadbeater played a key role in shaping the early Theosophical teachings and served as a close associate of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the society's co-founder. He is recognized for his writings on spiritual and occult subjects, including topics like clairvoyance, mysticism, and the nature of the human soul. Leadbeater's influence extended beyond the Theosophical movement, and his works continue to be studied in various esoteric and spiritual circles.
