Resumen de 'All women are Isis': la figura de Isis en "The Sea Priestess" (1935) y "Moon Magic" (1956) de Dion Fortune

Carlos Sánchez Pérez

  • This article aims to examine the reception of the figure of the goddess Isis in two novellas by writer and occultist Dion Fortune who portrayed the Egyptian goddess from the perspective of several Greco‐Roman sources (mainly Apuleius and the hermetic texts), ultimately modified by the esoteric trends of the 20th century, particularly the Theosophical Society. We will seek to show how some occultist authors have reshaped and adapted certain myths from Antiquity to make them fit their ideology, as is the case of feminism.
