Abstract
This pedagogical note revisits the concept of electromagnetic helicity in classical systems. In particular, magnetic helicity and its role in mean field dynamo theories is briefly discussed highlighting the major mathematical inconsistency in most of these theories---violation of magnetic helicity conservation. A short review of kinematic dynamo theory and its classic theorems is also presented in the Appendix.
