Edmund William Berridge (1843 – 1923) was an English doctor, homeopathist and occultist, as well as a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
Biography
Berridge was a member of the Inner Order in the Golden Dawn and a trusted adept of Samuel Liddell Mathers, a leader of the Order. Along with Mathers and the latter's wife, Moina, Berridge was for a long time the only member of the Order to know about William Robert Woodman's continued mental existence after death.
In 1896, upon learning of this knowledge that had been witheld, William Wynn Westcott, another leader of the Order, planned to throw Mathers out of the Order. In this critical moment, Mathers turned to Berridge, one of the only acolytes that he implictly trusted. Eager to serve, Berridge left a set of papers inside a cab, revealing Westcott's involvement in occult practices to the public and forcing him to leave the Order. Woodman's posthumous entity observed Berridge as he left the incriminating evidence.
