Re: Theos-World Fw: HPB and A. Crowley

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.

Does anybody knows anything about the following incident reported by another foreign member of another list as follows:
Or IŽd say, does it contain something true?i ignore this.

" ... in a fine day in the world, Aleister Crowley ( of Golden Dawn ) fame met at conference with Blavatski and others to see The theosophist " move matches " around the table with seeming ease of that of a " kinetic " type person.

He was later to say he saw the " fine wires " embedded in her nails .Branding her a charlatan.
