This excerpt from Initiates of Theosophical Masters captures the gist of Alexandra’s life story in a few pages. I am sharing it in advance of her Scorpio birthday as there is such fresh information available since 1995 when this was published. A preview of a documentary about retracing her travels is embedded at the conclusion, followed by a link to her natal chart. Her spiritual adventures led her to many countries where she crossed paths with other such explorers. Several of them are featured in 2025 upcoming blog posts. Marie, Countess of Caithness has already been featured as one component of the legend of Chevalier Louis de B, and her son the Duc de Pomar identified with his alleged occult portrait by Blavatsky. Mirra Alfassa studied under Max Theon in Algeria before joining forces with Sri Aurobindo in India. The mainstream occult history narrative casts all these women as subordinates of mysterious male adepts. The counter narrative emerging in my Initiates book as that the women are just as talented and smart and accomplished as the men, if not more so. But they had to hide their lights under bushels of male adepts, initiates, their “Masters.” Upcoming in February and March are the birthdays of Isabelle Eberhardt and Lady Hester Stanhope, two more members of what I call in the book The Great White Sisterhood of world travelers.
