Here’s a link to a brief article on secret societies that I wrote for the Munich-based magazine Earnest & Algernon (obviously inspired by Oscar Wilde…)

HPB on Expanding Minds and Reading the Spirit
Posted in Introduction, Notebook with tags consciousness, esotericism, Gary Lachman, interfaith, Madame Blavatsky, new age, occult, paranormal, religion, spiritualism, spirituality, Theosophy on January 17, 2013 by Gary LachmanHere are links to two recent interviews about Madame Blavatsky. One is with Erik Davis and Maja D’Aoust as part of their excellent Expanding Mind series. The other is with David Crumm at the interfaith website, Read the Spirit. Both are broad and open conversations about Blavatsky’s influence in the modern world.

The Einstein story is apocryphal, I’m sure. But I did hear that Stephen Hawking is a closet reader of Isis Unveiled, although I cannot reveal my sources…
Blavatsky Gets Around
Posted in Uncategorized on November 13, 2012 by Gary LachmanHere is another very positive and in depth review of Madame Blavatsky: The Mother of Modern Spirituality. If HPB is still checking things out down here from somewhere in the astral, I suspect she must be pleased.
Madame Blavatsky at the Jefferson Exchange
Posted in Uncategorized on November 4, 2012 by Gary LachmanHere’s an interview with me on the Jefferson Exchange about my new book Madame Blavatsky: The Mother of Modern Spirituality. They have some attentive, informed listeners on the Pacific West Coast – at least that’s my impression from the people who called in. And actually, her name isn’t that difficult to pronounce…
