While Vlabatsky is clearly a Spoonerism of Blavatsky, it is also
worth 
nothing that 'Cassandra' has a significance too.  In fact, she was 
daughter of Priam of Troy, and received the gift of prophecy from 
Apollo, who loved her; but because she would not obey him he cursed 
her that no one would believe her prophecies.  She survived the fall 
of Troy and was taken home a captive by Agammemnon  -  she warned him 
of trouble but he didn't believe her and both were slain by 
Clytemnestra.
