Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki (1929-2026) was one of the most respected and experienced esoteric practitioners at work in the British Isles. She was born and lived in Channel Island of Jersey off the coast of France. She was trained in the Fraternity of the Inner Light and worked as a Cosmic Mediator with Walter Ernest, the Grand Maistre of British Occultism. Dolores was a third degree adept and Qabbalist.

She not only taught the Craft but was also the director of the Servants of the Light, a Hermetic order descended from Dion Fortune's Society of the Inner Light. She traveled extensively, teaching a wide range of occult subjects to pupils in both the UK and United States.
