Mabel Collins (9 September 1851 – 31 March 1927) was a British theosophist and author of over 46 books. Life Collins was born in St Peter Port, Guernsey. She was a writer of popular occult novels, a fashion writer and an anti-vivisection campaigner. In 1909 she wrote a political play called Outlawed with Alice Chapin. Chapin was an American born actress who was an active suffragette. By the time it was produced at the Court Theatre in November 1911 Chapin was a convicted criminal for her militancy. Gossip Aleister Crowley claimed that Vittoria Cremers had suggested that Collins was at one time being romantically pursued by both Cremers and alleged occultist Robert Donston Stephenson. Cremers supposedly claimed that during this time she found five blood-soaked ties in a trunk under Stephenson's bed, corresponding to the five murders committed in Whitechapel by Jack the Ripper.
