Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00114)

Dear Carlos and all,

What sometimes puzzles me is that writers like Joscelyn Godwin (who 
wrote 'The Theosophical Enlightenment' amongst others), Prof. 
Goodrick-Clarke (who is referred to on the website of the Theosophical 
Society in England, see here: 
www.theosophical-society.org.uk/html/ma_exeter.html ) should be, by 
their acquaintance with theosophy, be more widely known in theosophical 
circles. Yet I get the impression that this is not the case. I think 
that it is even possible that more theosophists have read Trevor 
Ravenscroft's 'Spear of Destiny', than Goodrick-Clarke's 'Occult Roots 
of Nazism'.

Kind regards,

Theo
