John William Brodie-Innes
- John William Brodie-Innes
John William Brodie-Innes (1848-1923) was a leading member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn's Amen-Ra Temple in Edinburgh. Born in Moray, Scotland, he was a lawyer by profession. He was a member of a bibliophile society, the Sette of Odde Volumes, London, and was its president in 1911. He wrote several novels on witchcraft and magic and is believed to have been Dion Fortune's occult teacher, becoming the model for the character of Dr. Tavener in her 1926 book "The Secrets of Dr. Tavener".
Throughout the dissensions of the Golden Dawn, Brodie-Innes remained loyal to MacGregor Mathers, and on the death of his chief in 1918, published an affectionate obituary in the Occult Review (vol. 29, no. 5 [May 1919] ).
