J. W.

Brodie-Innes continued leading the Amen-Ra temple, deciding that the revolt was unjustified.

By 1908, Mathers and Brodie-Innes were in complete accord.

According to sources that differ regarding the actual date, sometime between 1901 and 1913 Mathers renamed the branch of the Golden Dawn remaining loyal to his leadership to Alpha et Omega.

Brodie-Innes assumed command of the English and Scottish temples, while Mathers concentrated on building up his Ahathoor temple and extending his American connections.

According to occultist Israel Regardie, the Golden Dawn had spread to the United States of America before 1900 and a Thoth-Hermes temple had been founded in Chicago.

By the beginning of the First World War in 1914, Mathers had established two to three American temples.
