MURRAY: NEW ENGLAND DICTIONARY ANTI-MASONRY ABEL DE LA RIVE LEO TAXIL BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI INDEX OF PAPERS LADY QUEENBOROUGH NESTA H. WEBSTER NOTES ON OCCULT THEOCRASY .

Occult Theocrasy Noteworthy in the historiography of conspiracy theory, Edith Starr Miller is a widely quoted yet little known figure. Her title, Lady Queenborough, is often misspelt "Queensborough" and sometimes referred to as a pen-name or pseudonym. She is sometimes associated with the Order of the Golden Dawn and the British Fascist movement. Her death in 1933 is sometimes described as suspicious. Neither her "suspicious" death nor associations are documented. Her Occult Theocrasy makes no claim to be an objective study nor representative of primary source research and a selection of her remarks easily demonstrates that she was fixated on a perceived "Jesuit-Judaic-Masonic-Gnostic-Brahmin-Illuminati" plot to overthrow Christianity. It is unreliable as a guide to the societies and movements listed in the table of contents, although students of the early history of fringe freemasonry and the Ordo Templi Orientis will be interested in Appendix IV: a selection of letters to Reuss and correspondence between Reuss and Westcott. TO THE MEMORY OF MY UNCLE LLOYD E. WARREN WHO FIRST GUIDED ME IN THIS WORK OCCULT THEOCRASY BY LADY QUEENBOROUGH (EDITH STARR MILLER) PUBLISHED POSTHUMOUSLY FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION ONLY IN TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I Printed in France. FOREWORD THIS BOOK makes no claim to literary merit. It is simply a work of research and documentation, giving evidence and facts which I trust will help the reader in drawing his own conclusions. In the course of my researches as an international political investigator into the causes of social unrest, I have probed the depths of infamy which now surrounds, not ours only, but also the next generation, whose right to lead a decent life should be as good as was ours. As a woman of the world I have witnessed things the existence of which I did not suspect and I have realised that, due to my "protected" position in life, they should never have been expected to have come to my knowledge. Let me tell every woman, how evermuch "protected", whether Dairymaid or Duchess, that the safeguards which she imagines to be thrown around herself are but a mirage of the past. Her own and her children’s future are at the mercy of those "forces" the activities of which it has been my business for the last ten years, to follow as one of a group of investigators. Today, most of the good people are afraid to be good. They strive to be broadminded and tolerant! It is fashionable to be tolerant but mostly tolerant of evil -- and this new code has reached the proportions of demanding intolerance of good. The wall of resistance to evil has thus been broken down and no longer affords protection to those who, persecuted by evil doers, stand in need of it. Worse still there are cases wherein virtuous people’s good name is relentlessly "filched from them", but no effort will be made by the presumed good people to rally to their defence. Happy are they if they themselves can discover the cause of their ruin, material or moral, either partial or total. In offering this book to the public, I have endeavoured to expose some of the means and methods used by a secret world, one might almost say an underworld, to penetrate dominate and, destroy not only the so-called upper classes, but also the better portion of all classes. There are those who feel confident that if they refrain from joining any society or group and avoid entanglements no harm can befall them. To such, let me say that situations can be, and are, created for innocent dupes every day and wrecked homes are the direct result. Neither fortune nor a blameless life led, as it were, in an island of strict virtue in the midst of a tumultuous sea of evil, spells security. Irrefutable evidence of a particular example of underworld tyranny has come into my possession. The victim’s guilt was her reluctance to step from virtue into the mire of evil which surrounded her. Moreover she was intolerant of evil and sought to oppose and destroy it. The case of her persecution at the hands of her foes is complete. She belonged to what is termed Society as did also some of the other actors in this bewildering drama. The world, social, financial legal and, shall we say also, the underworld, leaving to this word its generally accepted literal meaning, knows them. So many Jekylls and Hydes stalk about unsuspectingly in our midst ! From such an example I have been led to the conclusion that, among others, three factors can help one from being completely destroyed by the combined forces of that "underworld" : a flawless life, independent means and real friends, all three of which must be backed by a fearless determination to fight evil on all points of the Masonic compass. In these days when apparently vice triumphs and virtue must be penalized, it may be well for all of us to fight the undertow by which our children may be dragged under and must of necessity perish. Vice rings and secret societies form but one vortex into which youth is drawn and destroyed whilst the "good people", because of their ignorance, look on helplessly in despair. It is for their instruction that this book has been written. Its compilation has taken several years and, had it not been for the generous efforts of one of my friends, Mme de Shishmareff and of several other persons, I would never have been able to complete the task which I set out to accomplish. What must concern us all now is the protection of decency or, in other words — Equal rights — for such as are not vice adepts. This book is not complete. It will never be complete, but for the present it must remain as a study of the root conditions which have led to present day subversive upheavals and the overthrow of the principles of Christian civilization.

GENERAL INDEX Appendix III is culled from various sources including Domenico Margiotta’s reprint of the several Albert Pike hoaxes perpetrated by Léo Taxil, and much symbol interpretation by Eliphas Levi. Appendix IV contains 48 pages compiled by Brigadier-General R. B. D. Blakeney of a collection of letters and warrants concerning Theodore Reuss, Aleister Crowley, William Wynn Westcott and John Yarker. It also includes a fold-out facsimile of Crowley’s certificate of appointment by Reuss as National Grand Master of the O.T.O. in 1906. This is interesting material for the student of the Golden Dawn and the O.T.O. but is of no practical relevence to a study of regular Freemasonry. The index is noteworthy for placing a hexagram, "The Seal of Solomon, indicating a Jew, Hebrew, or Israelite" in front of the names of purported Jews; three dots forming a pyramid in front of the names of purported freemasons "subsequent to 1717"; and a figure of six dots in front of the names of "a Member of the Martinist Order". François-Émile Babeuf, Helen Blavatsky, Lord Byron, Maurice Joly, Honoré Mirabeau, Robespierre, Charles Taze Russell, Emanuel Swedenborg, and perhaps others, are incorrectly identified as freemasons, while identifying Éliphas Lévi and Aleister Crowley as freemasons is merely disingenuous; as is listing William Morgan as a Captain and a freemason. Listing both an "Albert George Mackey" and a "Gallatin Mackey" is representative of Miller’s lack of research: see Albert Gallatin Mackey.
