Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00445)

Carlos,
You never used talked about "active Mason"; you said Judge was no 
Mason at all.

It also looks like Judge become a Mason, 1875 or after and 
introduced by other Theosophists, and they could most probably have 
been Olcott, Skinner and Buck. There are proofs of this, the only 
problem is that they are in the US, and no Theosophist that also is 
a Freemason (one has to be a Master Masons (and often a full MM, 
e.g. MM + Mark + Chapter) get access to the Masonic archives) has 
search up these papers in published them. Personally, I would gladly 
do it, but there is a great ocean and prairie between. But I do my 
best, with letters and E-post.

And al the founding members of TS were, or were to be Masons 
(including Britten, which belonged to A&PM, that she later 
considered TS to become to "Oriental" have nothing to do with this 
fact).

And you wrote:
"I never said he was not a mason before 1875. Idon't know about 
that."

Once a Mason, always a Mason.

Carl
