Founded by Dion Fortune — Founded 1924 as the Fraternity of the Inner Light; incorporated 1946.

The Society of the Inner Light grew from the Fraternity of the Inner Light, founded by occultist Dion Fortune in 1924 after she left the Alpha et Omega, a Golden Dawn successor.

Incorporated as a charity in 1946, it teaches a Western mystery tradition blending Kabbalah, ritual and Christian mysticism. It remains active in London.

The Society is a principal living continuation of the Golden Dawn current, and a seedbed for later teachers and orders of the Western Mysteries.
