Theos-Talk Archives (March 1995 Message tl00082)

Paul <The Golden Dawn founder with whom HPB had the most contact
was W. Wynn Westcott, who helped her with the Theosophical
Glossary.  MacGregor Mathers, to my knowledge, was not in the
same league in terms of friendship with HPB.>


Mathers admitted to actually seeing HPB only one time.
However, he had a lot of respect for her, and to my
knowledge, never once criticized her.

On this same line, I still have a letter from Israel
Regardie (who made public the Golden Dawn secret rituals)
in which he admits to a great admiration for HPB, whom
he affectionately called the Old Lady.
