An elusive writer of occult and esoteric fiction, this author is best known for Within the Temple of Isis and for collaborating on The Light of Egypt. The surviving record is slim, which only adds to the air of mystery around work steeped in astrology, spirituality, and hidden knowledge.

About the author
Belle M. Wagner was an American writer active around the turn of the 20th century. Reliable catalog and library sources link her to Within the Temple of Isis, published in Denver by Astro-Philosophical Pub. Co. in 1899, and to The Light of Egypt; or, The Science of the Soul and the Stars, written with Thomas H. Burgoyne.
The clearest recurring description of her work is that it belongs to the world of astrology, occultism, and esoteric thought. Wikisource lists her as flourishing from 1899 to 1903 and describes her as a writer on astrology, occultism, and esoteric knowledge, which fits the themes of the books that remain most associated with her.
Very little firmly documented biographical information appears to survive in widely accessible sources, so most modern readers know her mainly through her books rather than through details of her personal life. That scarcity makes her one of those authors whose voice comes through more clearly than the historical record around her.
