-[In a review of Charles W. Heckethorn’s volume of poems entitled Roses and Thorns, the following passage with its appended footnote bears the characteristics of H.P.B.’s style:]

He is quite right, but might have added that the idea, and even its form, are much older than Böhme. Hermes speaks of the ''Tres Matres''—Light, Heat, and Electricity<ref>With the Kabalists, “the Three Mothers” in ''Sepher Yetzirah'' are Air, Water and Fire. They are EMeS, or '''אמש'''</ref>—who showed to him the mysterious progress of work in Nature; and the “Three Mothers” were much talked about by the older Rosicrucians, who certainly did not derive their knowledge from Böhme.
