According to John Michael Greer's "Circles of Power" (pp 114-120), Kingsford used ritual magic from her golden dawn and theosophical background to attack her vivisectional opponents. Greer writes that she supposedly caused the death of two minor vivisectionists this way but when she tried her ceremonies on Louis Pasteur, it backfired on her (due to Pasteur being a well-known and famous French 'hero') and caused her own death. Whether you "believe it or not", this should probably be added to her biography if _she_ believed it was true to show her interest in occult matters. I would not add it though until we get at least one more source stating that she practiced occult ritual magic for the purpose of helping in her crusade against vivisectionists.

She could not use her Golden Dawn background, as the Golden Dawn was created one week after her death. But, according to Edward Maitland, her biographer in 1896, she believed she caused the death of Paul Bert and Claude Bernard (also in the DNB). But, it could not have backfired from Pasteur, as she caught a pneumonia walking under the rain to confront him about vivisection. O Kolymbitès (talk) 14:28, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm very skeptical of this wording and recommend that we delete it in the present context. It was very popular in 19th and early 20th century literature to attribute disease to getting caught in the rain. I don't think we should be perpetuating this type of superstition in a 21st century encyclopedia. Of course, it is entirely appropriate to explain this in the historical context of her death, but stating this as a fact in the lead doesn't work. Viriditas (talk) 12:55, 24 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
