And what an installment it is .. Well worth a 5.30am start ..
I am loving these “X” series ..
WOW! I Just noticed that the mod let me post a word with two verboten syllables!
you lucky lucky barsteward.. I YEARN to use verboten words….
Barsteward? ahahahahaha
Have just received 2 books regarding previous episodes: “Autobiography of Emma Hardinge Britten” and “Radiance from Halcyon” by Paul Eli Ivey.
DJ roped me into making other book purchases re: X.
The Emma Britten stuff really drew me in. I had just finished a book by Charles Williams (Inkling and Rosicrucian) called Decent into Hell. In this story, playwright and poet Peter STANHOPE (Phillip Stanhope) mentors a young girl, Pauline Anstruther, who is afraid of meeting her double (guardian on the threshold) in the street. He teaches her esoteric doctrine and she has several mystical experiences. During the climax of the book (Chapter X – The Sound of the Trumpet), Peter Stanhope and Pauline Anstruther both quote The Tempest. There is even a discussion of a strange fire: “all the presently disincarnate presences which lived burningly in the stillness, through which the fire burned, and the stillness was the fire.”
Sydney I highly recommend this book by a friend of mine:

Thank you! “In the context of theosophical history, this book is neither on the side of the blind votaries of Madame Blavatsky, nor on that of her enemies. It may, therefore, be expected to mildly annoy both sides.” *** My boyfriend has expressed a strong distaste for Theosophy as we’ve watched the X-series, because it led to some rather horrid racist philosophies. He just recently bought a book by Blavatsky to see what she was talking about in her own words. I think this book will be just perfect to prepare me for discussions with him about his new purchase. It’s pay day, so I’ll order it straight away. Thank you again for the recommendation.
With all its defects (in my view anyway) we could say is that over time, the theosophical movement resulted in the broaching to broader society of “esoteric” topics previously limited to scholars. For example, Blavatsky’s “Isis Unveiled” mostly consists of quotations from other authors, usually cited.
Godwin’s book gives a good historical and cultural perspective starting from Swedenborg in the late 18th cent. and this “theosophism”; Blavatsky came along later.
Personally I am not convinced that Blavatsky’s Theosophy can be blamed for the spread of late 19th and early 20th century politically-oriented racial ideas.
Excellent show
