Because Dion Fortune was such an influential king-pin in the later occult renaissance and the book is a chronicle of an otherwise unchronicled but powerful period of evolution in the Western Tradition. It seems that Dion Fortune, a fascinating magician of the 20th century, was a hard target to take on. Richardson spent much time on extraneous people and places while leaving Fortune (Violet Firth) to tread water in the ethers. Hopefully, they do a better job than this one accomplishes.

Fortune is recognised as one of the most significant occultists and ceremonial magicians of the early 20th century

Fortune is recognised as one of the most significant occultists and ceremonial magicians of the early 20th century. The Fraternity she founded survived her and in later decades spawned a variety of related groups based upon her teachings. It was in this manner that Fortune and Loveday claimed that they received a text, The Cosmic Doctrine, which was dictated to them in segments by the Masters between July 1923 and February 1925. These communications discussed the existence of seven planes of the universe, and were very similar to the ideas promoted in Moriarty's writings, in particular his Aphorism.

DESCRIPTION

This is the first full biography of Dion Fortune, one of the most striking personalities of the twentieth century. She hid behind a veil of secrecy and became a cult figure in the years after her death in 1947. A brilliant writer and pioneer psychologist, her whole life was devoted to living out an eternal myth in a story that can be told in terms of Virgins and Dragons, Moons and Oceans, and the spirit of the land itself.

A powerful psychic and medium, obsessed with the study of magic, her career was never entirely within this world. And in her own eyes at least she was a Priestess, a channel for the Great Goddess, an exponent of the time-lost Mysteries of Women.

REVIEWS

'A fascinating mixture of research, commentary and atmospheric invocation.' The Wiccan

'Because Dion Fortune was such an influential king-pin in the later occult renaissance and the book is a chronicle of an otherwise unchronicled but powerful period of evolution in the Western Tradition.' The Lamp of Truth

  • Excellent book. The author needed to work on time lines better, And avoids some items, yet this is best complete biography. I read he books, she could be a bit racist and anti homosexual. But she was a product of her times. Sad to say she was a political Conservative, and mostly wealthy people are. With out family money I wonder how far she would have gotten. But Occult lodges at the time where filled with elitism. She is still a great lady and best occultist of the times.

  • It seems that Dion Fortune, a fascinating magician of the 20th century, was a hard target to take on. Richardson spent much time on extraneous people and places while leaving Fortune (Violet Firth) to tread water in the ethers. It may be that the necessary information was not available for him to write a more fluent book, but there are other bios to choose from. Hopefully, they do a better job than this one accomplishes. The centerpiece of the book seems more than worthy of a good biography.

  • love Dion Fortune books Great for understanding magical life.
