Book Description
Dion Fortune is justly regarded as one of the foremost occultists of modern times, an acknowledged adept whose clear, concise, and down-to-earth approach has been responsible for bringing knowledge of the occult sciences to a much wider reading public. 'The Esoteric Philosophy of Love and Marriage' is one of her earliest books, in which she describes the occult meaning of marriage and love as manifestations of the principle of Sex or Polarity, a universal force that functions from the highest to the lowest planes of existence. Topics covered include the Ideal Marriage, the Karmic ties between souls, how souls find their mates, and the esoteric teaching concerning 'twin souls'. The book's stance on such topics as contraception, masturbation and abortion may appear puritanical to modern eyes, but Dion Fortune gives solid esoteric reasons for her statements, reasons that raise questions concerning the wisdom of today's moral relativism. A must-read for any occultist interested in one of the most fundamental aspects of life on this, and all other, planes of existence.

Jungian Metaphor in Modernist Literature
Author: Roula-Maria Dib
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429603126
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Jungian Metaphor in Modernist Literature argues for the centrality of Carl Jung’s theory of individuation and alchemy in modernist poetics. Through analysis of the uses of a mythic method in modernist literary works, the book develops a related alchemical model which serves to expand understanding of modernist uses of language. The book is an innovative exploration of modernist literary creativity under a Jungian lens, spanning both the literary and scholarly Jungian field. The literary works of Hilda Doolittle, James Joyce and W.B Yeats are read in the light of Jung’s central theme of an ‘alchemical marriage’ with attempts at developing a related alchemical model, a Jungian poetics, which serves to expand a reader’s understanding of modernist uses of language. This provides a fresh new lens through which modernist literature is viewed and seeks to revaluate the role of Jung in the humanities, namely in the field of modernist literature, an area from which Jung has long been shunned. This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of literature, modernism, psychoanalysis, gender studies, Jungian psychology, depth psychology, literary theory, and cultural studies. .

The Magical Battle of Britain
Author: Dion Fortune
Publisher: Skylight Press
ISBN: 1908011459
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Immediately following Britain's declaration of war in 1939, Dion Fortune began a series of regular letters to members of her magical order, the Fraternity of the Inner Light, who were unable to hold meetings due to wartime travel restrictions. With enemy planes rumbling overhead, she organised a series of visualisations to formulate "seed ideas in the group mind of the race", archetypal visions to invoke angelic protection and uphold British morale under fire. "The war has to be fought and won on the physical plane," she wrote, "before physical manifestation can be given to the archetypal ideals. What was sown will grow and bear seed." As the war developed, this was consolidated with further work for the renewal of national and international accord. For the first time the Fraternity's doors were opened to anyone who wanted to join in and learn the previously secret methods of esoteric mind-working. With unswerving optimism she guided her fraternity through the dark days of the London Blitz, continuing her weekly letters even when the bombs came through her own roof. Introduction and commentary by Gareth Knight.
