An aspiring dancer left crippled by a tragic illness, Ann Davies was born in Cleveland, Ohio.
Perhaps as a result of this early disappointment, Davies explored atheism and agnosticism before discovering Hindu philosophy and practicing Buddhism.
In 1944 she met Paul Foster Case, who inspired a lifelong devotion to Hermetic Qabalah and B.O.T.A.
She expanded the curriculum of the school by amplifying and reworking Case's 'Esoteric Astrology' and by authoring the courses on 'Developing Supersensory Powers,' 'Sexual Polarity,' 'Meditational Ascent of the Tree of Livingness,' and 'Qabalistic Doctrines of Rebirth.'
