A Contemplative Inquiry blog essay on Dion Fortune's The Sea Priestess, reporting the novel's first edition copyright page reads "Copyright 1935 Society of the Inner Light," independently confirming the Society itself, not Fortune personally, held the original copyright, and characterizing the book as "a classic occult teaching novel with romantic overtones, and a foundation work for modern Wicca, paganism, and ritual magic."
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Tier three: an independent scholarly-adjacent essay by a writer conversant with the Western Mystery Tradition literature, used here specifically because it reports the primary bibliographic fact, the 1935 copyright page attribution, that the Society's own current site does not itself spell out.
