Garden of Thought E.291 Famed Occultists

The Garden welcomes back Professor Richard Spence to continue in our "academic" exploration of the occult. This episode focuses on some of the better known names in Occultism over the past 200 years or so. We learn about Helena BLavatsky, Rudolph Steiner, Aleiter Crowley, Anton LaVay, among others. From the elite homes of Tsarist Russia to Marin County, California, we visit upon the truth, fiction, legend and what's in between. What's Theosophy? What's Anthrosophy? Is there a difference between of Satanist and a Luciferian? Don't be afriad, this is academic. Mostly.
