Julia Keightley

(10 November 1851 − 9 October 1915)

American Theosophist, writer and lecturer, born in Pennsylvania; discovered Theosophy in 1886. Contributed to The Path from its early issues under several pseudonyms, including "Julius," under which she published "The Singing Silences" (August 1886), "Reticence of Mahatmas and Evolution of the Individual" (September 1886), Part II of "Poetical Occultism" (November 1886; Part I, October 1886, was signed jointly "S. B. J." by Sylvester Baxter and W. Q. Judge), and "Tea Table Talk" (a recurring column, December 1886 and January 1887). Printed signature "J——" on "Lines from Lower Levels" (December 1886) stood for her pseudonym "Jasper Niemand," confirmed by her full signature "Jasper Niemand, F. T. S." on "Rotation—Individual Evolution" (January 1887) — showing that pseudonym was already in use well before 1891, though her best-known work under it, "Letters That Have Helped Me," did not begin until that year, after her marriage to Dr. Archibald Keightley.
