Annalee Skarin (born Annalee Kohlepp in American Falls, Idaho, on July 7, 1899 – died January 17, 1988), was an American Mormon writer of mysticism and New Age literature. Her 1948 book Ye Are Gods was popular among Utah Mormons, but later provoked ire among church leaders and led to her excommunication. The underlying theme for all of her writings was a desire to understand the deeper meaning behind scripture. She wrote: "There was just that intense feeling that something was required of us and we had to find out what it was." Annalee was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who served as a missionary in California, and later was a ward Relief Society president. As of 2014, Ye Are Gods was in its 18th printing, though her later books were more popular among non-Mormons in the New Age movement. She accepted no royalties, and it remains unclear who if anyone profited from her many successful books.
