Theos-Talk Archives (May 2004 Message tt00058)

Since there is no indication that HPB attended "conferences" in order to 
demonstrate phenomena, the story is on the face of it quite unlikely. 
Further, Crowley was born in 1875 and HPB died in 1891. So the famous 
Golden Dawn member could not have been any older than sixteen at the 
time of the alleged incident. Crowley came on the Golden Dawn scene 
through Mathers around 1904 or so--thirteen years after Blavatsky's 
death. I'm yet to see any documentation that Blavatsky and Crowley ever 
met, but would be very keen to know if anyone has any.
