Biography

Born to the well-to-do Duke family, part of the aristocracy of the Old South, she received a large inheritance at age 16 that allowed her to self-publish her works.
Heline received a classical and religious education. She was a lifelong student of the ancient mysteries. Her first husband was Carl M. Dunklee, whom she married in Denver, Colorado on July 19, 1911. Her second husband was New Age pioneer Theodore Heline, whom she met at Mount Ecclesia, and whom she married sometime in the period 1940-1942. Rosicrucian initiate Max Heindel, founder of The Rosicrucian Fellowship, became her teacher at Mount Ecclesia. Theodore undertook the publication of her mystical and occult writings.
Her magnum opus, titled New Age Bible Interpretation, was accompanied by many other works interpreting the ancient wisdom. She is known worldwide among students of esotericism and occultism, and also in New Age circles as a pioneer. She is credited as being one of the first occult writers to use the term "New Age" in the context used by the movement. In 1940, Heline founded a quarterly magazine the New Age Interpreter. It was one of the earliest new age magazines to be published. Heline was an advocate of chromotherapy and authored two books on the topic, Healing and Regeneration Through Color and Color and Music in the New Age.
In 1948, Heline authored Esoteric Music Based on the Musical Seership of Richard Wagner. The book gives a mystical interpretation of Richard Wagner's music dramas. Heline joined the New Age Bible and Philosophy Center at Santa Monica, California, which took the motto "Devoted to studies designed to aid the modern seeker to a spiritual reorientation in the Light of the Ancient Wisdom." Heline lectured on occult topics. In 1949, she lectured on angels and fairies in Los Angeles.

Vegetarianism

Heline was a vegetarian for ethical and spiritual reasons. In 1947, she was a speaker at the Calgary Unit of the Canadian Vegetarian Association. She argued that it was not God's plan for humans to eat the flesh of animals and that this was the cause of many diseases. She argued for animal protectionism and urged vegetarians to convince others that it is "harmful to serve the broken and mutilated bodies of animals as food on our tables".
