"With Westcott’s death, masonic research lost the one man whose influence might have led to the development of a distinct, reputable 'esoteric school' whose work could have complemented that of the authentic school. His criticisms might also have kept the wilder proponents of the 'esoteric' approach within the bounds of reason." - Bro. R.A. Gilbert
Westcott was a Mason, Rosicrucian (SRIA), & co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
