Alma Theon

Alma Theon

Alma Theon (1843 - 1908) born Mary Chrystine Woodroffe Ware (or Miriam Lin Woodroffe) was an occultist and clairvoyant, and wife of and co-worker with Max Theon.

According to Max Theon, his wife was the driving force behind the Cosmic movement or Cosmic Tradition that he taught.

In her "Collected Works" and occasional references in "The Agenda", The Mother describes Madame Theon as an extraordinary woman with great powers; and refers to miraculous experiences at Tlemcen in Algeria, where she stayed on two extended visits to learn occultism under the tutelage of the Theons.
