Author

William Quam Judge
(1851 - 1896) 

William Quan Judge (April 13, 1851 – March 21, 1896) was an Irish-American mystic, esotericist, and occultist, and one of the founders of the original Theosophical Society. He was born in Dublin, Ireland. His family emigrated to the United States when he was 13 years old. He became a naturalized citizen of the USA at age 21 and passed the New York state bar exam, specializing in commercial law. When Blavatsky and Olcott left America, they left Theosophy in North America in Judge’s hands. While Judge kept close contact with both Blavatsky and Olcott through correspondence, there was little if any organized activity for the next several years.  From his twenty – third year until his death, (Mr. Judge’s) best efforts and all the fiery energies of his undaunted soul were given to this work.” In 1876, business affairs caused him to visit South America, where he contracted “Chagres fever”, and he was ever after a sufferer from that torturing disease. Judge records his spiritual journey in his writings and in his 3-volume set “Echoes of the Orient”
