Actually, it's called the Theosophist Society and it
started here in Philadelphia.  In fact, there's a cafe
here called the White Dog Cafe (great food!) which was
given that name because Madame Blavatsky had some
revelation concerning a white dog and the cafe is
located in the house where she lived at the time. 
There is now a gift shop next door run by the cafe
people and called The Black Cat.  I'm willing to bet
the proprietors might be Harry Potter fans, but I
haven't had the courage to ask.
