The Gnostic Society was founded in Los Angeles in 1928, and incorporated in 1939, by John Morgan Pryse (1863–1952) and his brother James Morgan Pryse (1859–1942) for studies of Gnosticism.[1][2][3] Stephan A. Hoeller, author and lecturer and a leading exponent of Gnosticism,[3] became the director of studies in 1963.[4]
The organization ceased to exist as a legal entity in 1974.[5] Since that time, Hoeller has lectured under the society's name, presenting it as an educational organization "dedicated to advancing the study, understanding, and individual experience of Gnosis."
