When I was researching Helena Blavatsky I was often amazed at how someone so
weird, with such an outrageous life story, could inspire so much dull writing.
That was until I discovered Gary Lachman's 2012 biography Madame Blavatsky:
The Mother of Modern Spirituality. Gary graciously agreed to join me on the
podcast to discuss Blavatsky, the challenges that come with writing about the
occult, and even David Bowie. Tune in and find out how cats named Khoot Hoomi,
female body guards, and rock n' roll occultists all get mentioned in the
interview.
