Is Helena Blavatsky legit?

I fell for him around 2013/14 with his 'serpents of wisdom'. It all seemed well and good but the universalism reeked of disinfo and this turned me away from 'gnosticism' altogether.
According to you what sources are trustworthy as a primer in 'gnostic' philosophy/hermeticism or whatever it may be called? I have printed off the J.O.S info but am always seeking outside sources

Read whatever you want and consider you should read, but always be conscious when doing it, and you should be fine. There are a lot of books like the Kybalion which contain some actual knowledge. With all occult manuscripts at this point, it is all lukewarm. There is unavoidably a huge amount of disinfo into them, and that is on purpose.

Eventually daily meditation can help clear the fog.

The initiation into hermetics book would be good for someone who is not an SS but we don’t need it. Some of the exercises in there are on the JoS meditation page anyways.

Bardon was a member of several groups one of them was a small Satanic group that was run by an actual member of a Satanic lodge. The knowledge that Bardon put into Hermetic's was taken from that group. I wrote an article of this its in the archives.
