Dion Fortune and the Inner Light At last - a comprehensive biography of Dion Fortune based upon the archives of the Society of the Inner Light. As a result much comes to light that has never before been revealed. This includes: Her early experiments in trance mediumship with her Golden Dawn teacher Maiya Curtis-Webb and in Glastonbury with Frederick Bligh Bond, famous for his psychic investigations of Glastonbury Abbey. The circumstances of her first contact with the Masters and reception of "The Cosmic Doctrine". the ambitious plans of the Master of Medicine and the projected esoteric clinic with her husband in the role of Dr. Taverner. The inside story of the confrontation between the Christian Mystic Lodge of the theosophical Society of which she was president, and Bishop Piggot of the Liberal Catholic church, over the Star in the East movement and Krishnamurti. Also her group`s experience of the magical conflict with Moina MacGregor Mathers. How she and her husband befriended the young Israel Regardie, were present at his initiation into the Hermes Temple of the Stella Matutina, and suffered a second ejection from the Golden Dawn on his subsequent falling out with it. Her renewed and highly secret contact with her old Golden Dawn teacher Maiya Tranchell-Hayes and their development of the esoteric side of the Arthurian legends. Her peculiar and hitherto unknown work in policing the occult jurisdiction of the Master for whom she worked which brought her into unlikely contact with occultists such as Aleister Crowley. Nor does the remarkable story end with her physical death for, through the mediumship of Margaret Lumley Brown and others, continued contacts with Dion Fortune have been reported over subsequent years.

He returned to the Society in 1998 to collaborate in the development of advanced techniques, to edit Dion Fortune`s previously unpublished writings, and to contribute regularly to the revived Inner Light Magazine. the present volume is the result of his researches into the Society`s archives with the generous permission and encouragement of the Warden and Council of Management
