About this title

Synopsis

A l'âge de vingt ans, Dion Fortune vécut une forme particulièrement puissante d'attaque psychique qui aboutit à une dépression nerveuse. Forte de sa compréhension et de son expérience en tant que praticienne de l'occultisme et voyante naturelle, elle a rédigé un manuel d'instruction détaillé, intitulé Autodéfense psychique, destiné à se protéger de la malveillance d'origine paranormale. Dans ces pages sont contenues de surprenantes révélations sur les pratiques des Loges Noires, les risques inhérents à la magie cérémonielle, la pathologie liée aux contacts avec les non-humains, la nature des hantises et les faits réels qui ont donné naissance aux légendes sur les vampires. Au-delà de ces sujets, le livre explore l'élément psychique intangible présent dans les maladies mentales et, ce qui est plus important encore, il expose en détail les méthodes, les mobiles et les aspects physiques de l'attaque psychique et la manière de les combattre.
