'''Hélène Smith''' (real name '''Catherine-Elise Müller''', December 9, 1861, Martigny – June 10, 1929, Geneva) was a famous late-19th century Swiss medium. She was known as "the Muse of Automatic Writing" by the Surrealists, who viewed Smith as evidence of the power of the surreal, and a symbol of surrealist knowledge. Late in life, Smith claimed to communicate with Martians, and to be a reincarnation of a [[Hindu]] princess and Marie Antoinette. | '''Hélène Smith''' (real name '''Catherine-Elise Müller''', December 9, 1861, Martigny – June 10, 1929, Geneva) was a famous late-19th century Swiss medium.
