Theos-Talk Archives (February 2006 Message tt00573)

Dear Theo,

You will find something, at least,  in "Theosophical History".

His wife was "Mary", the medium who purported to talk to Masters in séances 
in the "inner group" organized by A. P. Sinnett.

It was there that C. W. Leadbeater started to "talk to the Masters".  The 
magazine "Theosophical History" published the revealing "Autobiography" of 
Mr. Alfred Sinnett, in which he frankly tells all about it.  Scott-Eliot was 
also a member of such a mediumnistic group.

When Sinnett died, Leadbeater wrote that in the 1890s his "inner group" made 
important "occult investigations", and so on.  Sinnett also says that Annie 
Besant joined that
mediumnistic group after HPB's death, that is, while AB was already the 
"Outer Head" of the Esoteric School, Adyar.

So it seems that the occult fancies started precisely in Sinnett's inner 
group with "Mary", a pseudonymn for Scott-Elliot's wife.

I hope that helps, even if marginally.  If you want me to, I can give you 
the bibliographical  references.


Carlos.
