About the Author

Dion Fortune (1891-1946), founder of The Society of the Inner Light, a Society for the study of Metaphysical Religion, Mysticism and Esoteric Psychology, is recognised as one of the most luminous figures of 20th century esoteric thought. A prolific writer, pioneering psychologist and powerful psychic, she dedicated her life to the revival of the Western Mystery Tradition. She was also a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn, whose members included at various times such people as A.E. Waite, Aleister Crowley and W. B. Yeats.
