Formed in New York City by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge and others. The society's initial objective was the study of Occultism, the Cabala and Eastern religions. Its seal incorporates the Swastika (in its original form as a sacred symbol), the Star of David, the Ankh, the Aum and the Ouroboros.
