Dangers of theosophy and alchemy

I have posted a number of times now thoughts regarding Rowling's 
amoral stance, her instance on tackling issues on the basis of a 
certain ethical imperative - like "is this helpful or harmful to 
others" and the like, as someone posted in OT. But let's remember 
that alchemy was a symbolic practise, a grammar, if you will, not a 
science, and, like so many so-called practises, saw liberation and 
enlightenment as pretty self-centred and self-contained. And one of 
the main criticisms of alchemy as such is that it can, and indeed 
was, used, very very often, as a system to justify horrendous crimes 
against humanity. There is absolutely nothing that will turn lead 
(the word, "spells") into gold (reality). Rowling has explicitly 
stated she doesn't believe in that kind of magic. The protocols of 
the elders of zion was composed of words, and certainly cast some 
kind of "spell". Here is the danger of using a symbolic language to 
recreating a facile picture of reality. It is slight of hand, nothing 
more. And it is always a lie in its nature, and mendacious, more 
often than not, it its intent.

To cross from the symbolic to the literal in referencing "possession" 
regarding Hitler is anathema, to me, crossing the line from 
conjecture to propaganda. This is an intentional and fundamental 
misreading of Rowling, and racist ("special quality of German Blood") 
to boot, in Hans quoted piece anyway.

This proves the man wasn't Jewish, for one thing.

Although I find some of Hans speculation entertaining, in terms of 
literary criticism, I is appologist and sickening when turned upon 
the RW.
