Synopsis "Sane Occultism "

Facsimile of 1938 Edition. Dion Fortune is acknowledged as one of the most knowledgeable and level-headed writers on Esoteric matters. In Sane Occultism she is adamant that magic and occult studies, though often dealing with unseen forces, must still be grounded in Reason, and she explains how claims of psychic ability and past lives can, and should, be verified. The book covers a vast swathe of topics, from meditation and psychism, through numerology and astrology, to such 'black' Occult practices as psychic vampirism, blood sacrifice and other aspects of the Left-Hand Path. The need, or otherwise, for vegetarianism, strict obedience to a master, and secrecy, are also covered in detail. Sane Occultism is a refreshing, no-nonsense look at esotericism, being at the same time an excellent introduction to the subject and a book that will give even the experienced practitioner much to think about.

Violet Mary Firth (1890-1946), better known as «Dion Fortune», was one of the most famous British occultists and esoteric writers, as well as a pioneer of modern witchcraft. From a young age, she joined the Theosophical Society and attended psychology and psychoanalysis classes at the University of London. In 1919, she was initiated into the London temple of Alpha et Omega, before entering the Stella Matutina order, both heirs to the spirit and rituals of the legendary Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
Fortune, founder of her secret society Fraternity of the Inner Light, was greatly influenced by Aleister Crowley, whom she met and corresponded with, and his theories on sexual magic, as well as Arthurian myths. Among her non-fiction work, notable are The Cosmic Doctrine, The Mystical Qabalah, and Psychic Self-Defense. She died in 1946 from leukemia.
