The Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society was officially formed on October 9, 1888, when Col. Olcott, then on a visit in London, issued an order in Council declaring it formed with Mme. Blavatsky as its responsible head. The circular stated:
The Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society.
I. To promote the esoteric interests of the Theosophical Society by the deeper study of esoteric philosophy, there is hereby organised a body, to be known as the ‘Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society.’
II. The constitution and sole direction of the same is vested in Madame H. P. Blavatsky, as its head; she is solely responsible to the members for results; and the section has no official or corporate connection with the Exoteric Society, save in the person of the President-Founder.
Persons wishing to join the Section, and willing to abide by its rules, should communicate directly with Madame H. P. Blavatsky, 17 Lansdowne Road, Holland Park, London, W.
