About this title

About the Author:

William Quan Judge (April 13, 1851 – March 21, 1896) was a mystic, esotericist, and occultist, and one of the founders of the original Theosophical Society. He was born in Dublin, Ireland. When he was 13 years old, his family emigrated to the United States. He became a naturalized citizen of the USA at age 21 and passed the New York state bar exam, specializing in commercial law. He was among the seventeen people who first put the Theosophical Society together. After Helena Blavatsky died in 1891, Judge became involved in a dispute with Henry Olcott and Annie Besant by staying true to the original teaching from the Mahatmas. As a result, he ended his association with them during 1895 and took most of the Society's American Section with him. Despite being hounded by devotees to Besant, Judge managed his new organization for about a year until his death in New York.
