| Madame Blavatsky on Gerald Massey's "lectures" and "Natural Genesis." Alas,Madame B's "respected Guru in Egyptology" does not hold her in similar high esteem... 'It is a delusion to suppose there is anything in the experience or wisdom of the past, the ascertained results of which can only be communicated from beneath the cloak and mask of mystery, by a teacher who personates the unknown, accompanied by rites and ceremonies belonging to the pantomime and paraphernalia of the ancient medicine men.' The Agnostic Journal, Oct. 3rd, 1891. [W. J. Linton's opinion of Madame, recounted in his "Memories", was not dissimilar to Massey's.... "One sight of Madame was enough, a fat, vulgar-looking woman, not, one could not help thinking, at all likely to be mistaken for a prophetess, no sibyl but a veritable old witch, with nothing venerable about her."
