Theos-Talk Archives (January 2002 Message tt00090)

Daniel:

I think you need to read the e-mail again. No, I am
not quoting Deveney. I read Randolph's stuff many
years before Deveney published his book. As stated,
Blavatsky claimed to be associated with the
Brotherhood of Luxor, which was not called that, and
which was clearly Randolph's "Rosicrucian
Brotherhood."
