» illumina - On Baum's connection to Theosophy

I am so suprised nowhere does it mention Mr. Baums connection to Theosophy. He joined that wonderful and enlightened soociety in the late 70's or 80's I con't have the date at hand. He was a metaphysician and I believe that influence is so important it should be mentioned. Each of the characters in The Wizard of Oz stood for a metaphysical precept and we are drawn to the message of self realization because it is so universal. Important to remember. He knew Helena Blavatsky who wasa tremendous influence in so many lives.And it was probably the Religious Congress that took place in Chicago at the Worlds Fair that took him to that city.
