Applied Magic

More about the book

Dion Fortune ranks among the very best writers on magical topics, respected as much for her level-headed attitude as for her obvious mastery of the subject. Born Violet Mary Firth in 1890, she showed psychic abilities from the age of four, and, after a period with the Theosophical Society, leaned more towards occultism, joining the initiatory order 'Alpha et Omega' and later the 'Stella Matutina', eventually founding her own order 'The Society of the Inner Light', which continues to this day. This book contains a selection of essays published by Dion Fortune in 'The Inner Light' magazine at various times between late 1920 and 1940, enhanced with three especially relevant chapters extracted from two of her earlier works: 'Sane Occultism' and 'Esoteric Orders and Their Work'. A book for all those interested in the theories underpinning the occult world-view and its practical applications.
