Any of you who are against the masons and mystery religions but don't see The Lord of the Rings trilogy for it's symbolism have missed the point. J R R Tolkien lifted that story right out of the secret societies.
Not that it is a bad story, just be realistic about what it is.
RIP C. Tolkien

Steiner came out of Blavatsky (as did many others including Crowley).
Unlike Bill Cooper, I am not convinced they are all the same thing or fighting on the same side, but many here are convinced of that.
