Dion Fortune played a significant
role in modern esotericism, and we are
indebted to Gareth Knight for this intriguing
biography. Knight was inducted into the Fraternity
in 1953, seven years after Fortune’s
death. Despite the fact that they never met, he
is often regarded as her protégé. His Guide to
Practical Qabalistic Symbolism (1965) formed
a continuation of The Mystical Qabalah. In
1998 he returned to the Fraternity, after many
years, to edit and republish several of her other
books and to conduct research in its archives.
The biography is an important product of that
research.
Dion Fortune & the Inner Light is enthusiastically
recommended to anyone interested in the
western esoteric tradition and in the colorful
individuals who contributed to it over the last
100 years.
