About this Item
Description:
First edition, first impression. The work acts as a how-to guide to avoid attacks from the astral plane and was designed to help women enter the occult realm. Fortune "aimed to dispel the mystique of occult work and make it accessible to those reluctant to enter one of the many occult orders which flourished in the period" (van Raalte, p. 8). Violet Mary Firth (1890-1946), known as Dion Fortune, is recognized as one of the most important British occult leaders of the 20th century. Fortune's pragmatic and commonplace style wove occult practice into the warp and weft of the life of ordinary readers, making the arcane accessible. In addition to her practical works, Fortune wrote mystical works of fiction interlaced in a deliberately didactic manner with her occult theories. This gave them what she described as an initiatory quality in order to draw people into her beliefs. Her occult society, the Fraternity of the Inner Light, was founded in 1924 and provided training in occult rituals. During the Second World War the society launched a "Magical Battle of Britain", during which members concentrated their mental energies to attack the "cloud" of Nazism over Germany. Georgia van Raalte, "Literary Initiation in the Occult Novels of Dion Fortune", doctoral diss., 2022. Octavo. Original grey cloth, spine lettered in black, black frame to front cover. Book ticket of "Miss B. Wills" on front free endpaper. Spine cocked and rubbed, a couple of faint marks to cloth, foxing to edges and outer leaves. A very good copy. Seller Inventory # 179681
