...and elsewhere.

I LOVE this topic. I did quite a bit of research ion London decades  
ago RE: Madame Blavatsky, Fritzgerald and the rise of "spirtualism."

THis is an excellent topic for understanding popular culture and  
movements. (As well as human perception/agression grounded in FEAR of  
Death.)

The group, "mob" psychosis around spirtualism may, indeed, have  
reared its um um head in recent decades.

Cheers,

Lois
