Summary/Abstract: Polar Fraternity (La Fraternité polaire) was occult society active in interwar Paris. Among its members were important names of French occult scene. According to some statements, as given in society ’s bulletin there was also branch operating in Belgrade in 1930s. However, this assertion could not be confirmed. Using archive materials, we demonstrate in this paper the existence of Belgrade group. The most important figure active in it was philosopher Ksenija Atanasijević, therefore we also pay attention to her attitude toward occultism. Ksenija and circle around her were also involved with Theosophy and Co-Freemasonry. Their interest in this overlapped with activity in feminist movement.
