About the author

Gareth Knight is one of the world's foremost authorities on ritual magic, the Western Mystery Tradition and Qabalistic symbolism. He trained in Dion Fortune's Society of the Inner Light, and has spent a lifetime rediscovering and teaching the principles of magic as a spiritual discipline and method of self-realisation.

He has written around forty books covering topics as diverse as Qabalah, history of magic, Arthurian legend, Rosicrucianism, Tarot, the Inklings (Tolkien, C.S.Lewis et al) and the Feminine Mysteries, as well as several practical books on ritual magic. He has lectured worldwide and is a regular contributor to Inner Light, the journal of the Society of the Inner Light.

The group founded by Gareth Knight in 1973 is now run by Wendy Berg and known as the Avalon Group.

Reviews

[Carmilla Voiez · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've been fascinated by Dion Fortune since reading the Mystical Qabalah. An undereducated but highly intelligent and perceptive occultist. This collection of articles about her and her work is very interesting although, by its nature, at times repetitive. It is great to see a book about her by someone who admires her, faults and all. She was apparently a person of her time, with all the dodgy political views that suggests, but she was also ahead of her time in many ways, and beyond what we consider time in many others. Worth a read, definitely.

Okay--probably most useful for its bibliography and its tantalizing hints of Cool Arthurian Legends You Don't Already Know?
