Patrick Casey served as an aide and secretary to Frithjof Schuon for over 20 years. After earning a degree in Religious Studies from Indiana University in 1975, Casey traveled to Switzerland to meet Schuon for the first time. In the early 1980s, after Schuon had moved to America, Casey approached him with the idea of collecting the letters he had sent over the years to correspondents in America, England, Germany, Switzerland, and elsewhere. With Schuon’s approval, Casey began a process that resulted in the collection of more than 1,500 letters; many of these have since been published in various works, while some appear for the first time in the Appendix to Frithjof Schuon's Echoes of Perennial Wisdom: A New Translation with Selected Letters, edited by Patrick Casey. Today, Casey lives near Schuon’s former home in Bloomington, Indiana, and is married to Jennifer Casey, the director of two film documentaries: Native Spirit & The Sun Dance Way (2007) and Frithjof Schuon: Messenger of the Perennial Philosophy (2012). They have two adult children.
