BTW, the first movie version of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" starred--get this--WILL ROGERS as Ichabod Crane. It was shot ON LOCATION in and around Tarrytown. A LOT of interesting things have happened at places owned or built by Will Rogers. His own son despised him. The movie "A Face in the Crowd" is based extensively on stories that Will Rogers Jr told the novel's writer Budd Schulberg. "People have no idea what kind of man my father really was. He fooled the whole world."
Back to Sleepy Hollow. That valley outside Tarrytown really was settled by Dutch colonists from New Amsterdam. Needless to say, they were the ORIGINAL Dutch Calvinist Reformed Christians in America.

Thought some might find the following interesting on the Magickal Childe/Herman Slater/Levenda, etc.
Chelsea area NYC - also the area of the Ron Sisman/Elizabeth Platzman murders on Halloween 1981. Hmmmm......
Very interesting indeed--there was some vile stuff going on back then, and people in high places had connections to it. The individual I've mentioned considered Maury Terry a "hack" for fingering the OTO, but did have this to say when I asked him about the cult that carried out the Son of Sam attacks: "He [Terry]'s right about the group idea, and I think he got the participants right". Yes, most excellent article; "The Doom That Came To Chelsea". I only met a couple of the 'names' dropped in it, and can't claim to have 'known' them. I had no interest in personal relationships with members of the NY communities...but I had friends who were pursuing personal, professional, and/or "magickal" relations with several of them, circa 1970s-1990s. Of the lot, Wasserman struck me as having the most evident capacity for running an efficient organization of any kind. Not saying that others couldn't & didn't, later on in life have some success in their chosen pursuits, careers, projects, etc. But the idea that these people, and their "associates" in other cities across North America, would be capable of organizing & running complex, secret, nefarious "plots" is HI-LARIOUS! If you only knew...

Well, just because they weren't well organized doesn't mean they couldn't have been used by people who were. But I agree--I don't think the "cult" was the "organization" behind all this stuff.

How about this on the Wainwright House from a 1987 book review in the "Executive Intelligence Review" (Lyndon LaRouche publication) of the original release of "The Ultimate Evil":
"During the period of the Son of Sam cult's activation (1975-76), the strange Carr family ran a telephone answering service from their Yonkers home. One of the clients was a very interesting private psychological clinic in Westchester called the "Hudson River Counseling Service." It involved several Jungian psychologists tied to a center in Rye, New York called the "Guild for Spiritual Awareness," which operates from the former home of Colonel Wainwright. Called the "Wainwright House," this center promotes Jungian studies of pagan and satanic religions for a major Theosophy Lodge based at the United Nations in New York City, the "Lucis Trust." This nexus is connected to a network of bizarre Episcopalian clergy up and down the East Coast working with Canon Edward West and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. Wainwright House was the location of several Lucis meetings of influential persons in the late 1950s and 1960s who founded "Ecumenical associations" that shaped the entire development of the New Age counterculture . Pursuit of this network's possible involvement in the mass-terror operation may prove fruitful."
Great find. That book review on TUE by Maury Terry mentions the Lucis Trust which at one time was headed up by Robert S McNamara the COO of the Vietnam war and his "body count" policy. Here is a book review on him from 1994. BTW dead comedian John Belushi lived at McNamara home at Martha's Vineyard and was eulogized at St. Johns the Devine in NY which is said to be a center for the occult. larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1994/eirv21n07-19940211/eirv21n07-19940211_058-robert_mcnamara_a_simple_aristot.pdf
