Constance Wachtmeister
Constance Georgina Louise Wachtmeister (''née'' Constance de Bourbel de Montpincon, (フランス語:de Bourbel de Montpinçon); March 28, 1838 in Florence – September 24, 1910 in Los Angeles), known as Countess Wachtmeister, was a prominent theosophist, a close friend of Helena Blavatsky.
==Biography==
Constance's father was French Marquis de Bourbel de Montpincon and mother Constance Bulkley, English by birth. She lost her parents when she was very young and was sent to her aunt Mrs Bulkley in England. In 1863 she married her cousin, the Count Wachtmeister, with whom she had a son, count Axel Raoul.〔Axel Raoul Wachtmeister (1865-1947) was a well-known musical composer in his day, an author opera-oratorio ''Prince Siddhartha'',
(oclc ).〕
After three years of marriage she moved to Stockholm where, in 1868, the count was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs.〔Carl Wachtmeister (1823–1871). (Svenskt biografiskt handlexikon ).〕 After the death of her husband in 1871, she still lived in Sweden for several years. In 1879 the countess began investigating Spiritism and in 1881 joined the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society. She met H.P. Blavatsky in London in 1884. She was an important partner for Blavatsky and essential support for the work of ''The Secret Doctrine''. Some time after Blavatsky had come in 1885 at Wurzburg she was joined by the Wachmeister, who "loyally and lovingly helped in the great work." In 1887 Wachtmeister organized the Theosophical Publishing Co. alongside Bertram Keightley, in order to publish Blavatsky's works.〔(1891 England Census ), showing a household including "Constance Wachtmeister, manager of Publishing Office; Helena Blavatsky, authoress; and others."〕 In 1888-95 she was an editor of the ''Theosophical Siftings.''〔(''Theosophical Siftings'' )〕 She was secretary and treasurer of the Blavatsky Lodge in London. In 1890 she became a member of the Inner Group of Blavatsky Lodge. In 1893 Besant and Wachtmeister went to India. In 1894 she had lecture in New York on theosophical questions. In 1896 Wachmeister was toured the USA and Australia lecturing on Theosophy.
