Esoteric Section

The Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society was officially fromed 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.

(Sd.) H. S. OLCOTT,
President in Council.

Attest:
