Mary Bailey

Mary Bailey was the second wife of Foster Bailey, a Theosophist and 32nd-degree Freemason who founded the Arcane School in London with his first wife, Alice Bailey, in 1923. Alice received telepathic teachings from an entity she called “the Tibetan” which were published in 24 volumes by the Lucis Trust. Alice died in 1949; in 1951, Foster married Mary Bailey, an Arcane School student, who worked with him until his death in 1977. She was the president of Lucis Trust, and head of the Arcane School for 33 years. Her book, A Learning Experience (1990), recounts the Arcane School’s international growth. The Arcane School now has branches in New York City, Geneva, and London. Mary Bailey died in 2007.
