    Its like how just most kooky spiritual gurus can trace back their ideas to Helena Blavatsky snd Theosophy, late 1800s / early 1900s.

    Blavatsky was a barking, swivel-eyed loon.

    Which includes the Thule Society, and thus Nazis.

    But another spin-off was Dartington, which nurtured a lot of good art and progressive politics along with the woo.
