How about early mediaeval (Celtic) canon law? What was I thinking?

LOL. That is awesome.

No! Moar Theosophy! Moar!

I thought the theory was to make life "interesting" for the characters - not necessarily the author - but you clearly like a challenge...

I thought I was the only one entertained and horrified by anything Madame Blavatsky wrote, participated in, stole. It's all very wonderful but I do agree it doesn't work well in the long run. Possibly because so much of her life/art/stuff was fabrication adding it to something else spoils the brew. What a shame! Thank you for pointing that out :)
