For the first time a professed occultist reveals what happens behind the carefully guarded doors of Black Lodges and what is done by Black Occultists when attacking, or attacked. Detailed practical instructions for the detection of psychic attacks and defence against them are also given. The value of this book is greately enhanced by the fact that the author writes from her own experience and cites a large number of actual cases. This book has been described as 'much more exciting than any of the Dracula school,' yet its content more soberly factual than sensational. Within these pages are revelations concerning Black Lodges, methods of pyschic attack, motives and possible associated physical aspects. Dion Fortune deals with Vampirism and where to look for vampire marks, the pathology of non-human contacts, projection of the etheric body and substances employed in Black Magic. In the author's own words: "My chief aim in speaking so frankly is to open the eyes of men and women to the nature of the forces that are at work below the surface of everyday life. If I can give in these pages the knowledge which protects, I shall have fulfilled my purpose." Includes the detailed bibliography and a selection of notorious fiction for reference. Note: This book was first published in 1930; all references therein should be read with this in mind. Made and Printed in Great Britain by Compton Printing Limited, London and Aylesbury. 209 pages.
