Baum was a member of the occultic group, The Theosophical Society started in late 1800s by Madam Blavatsky. She is the one who started the publishing arm of her cult originally named, “Lucifer Trust” then changed its name to “Lucius Trust”. the publishing company was located at 666 Fifth Ave NY. I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader to determine who owns the building at that address today. My understanding is that he paid a record high amount for a single occupancy building in NY.

IIRC, with no additional research, that would be Jarad Kushner. Very disturbing to me all along.
That would be correct.
“The Kushner Companies has long been trying to reach a deal for 666 Fifth Avenue, the tower for which it paid a record $1.8 billion”
Teaser text from an article on it.
I had not realized all that about Helena Blavatsky and ESPECIALLY about Jared Kushner, but I don’t think the Theosophical Society, which still exists, was Luciferian in nature.
” IIRC, with no additional research, that would be Jarad Kushner”
From my reading, the original building owned by Blavatsky was replaced in 1957. That’s the building Kushner bought, but the property has been an albatross, and they finally managed to lease it on a 99 year lease.
