Synopsis

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 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. Dion Fortune was a British occultist, ceremonial magician, novelist and author. She was a co-founder of the Fraternity of the Inner Light, an occult organization that promoted philosophies which she claimed had been taught to her by spiritual entities known as the Ascended Masters.

You know how in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" Harry finds a used potions textbook that has linear notes that help him understand the subject? I found a used copy of this book that was owned by a college professor where the linear notes are just as interesting as the text itself.......more

outdated and bigoted. a few good points on past lives and psychism, but 50 pages from the end she goes full homophobe. she also misunderstands vegetarianism and the left hand path, being a Christian qabbalist.......more

A very straightforward and grounding treatise on the aspects of sound occultism. Will surely assist any serious practitioner in how to approach the plethora of New Age nonsense that is rampant in today's world.......more

Goodreads review by Ilgın on June 03, 2022

Inisiyasyonda ve okült yolda neyin neden yapılması / yapılmaması gerektiğini sade bir dille açıklamış. Dönemine ve koşullarına bağlı yaptığı yorumlamalar dışında (çok normal), temel genel bilgileri veriyor. Ilgililerin yola adım atmadan ancak temel bilgileri aldıktan sonra, "başlangıçta" okuması ger......more

Goodreads review by Krystian on October 01, 2020

Excellent classical read, great for the beginning of esoteric journey. Dion Fortune proves that Occultism is more of a philosophy of life derived from personal experiences and the religious nature attributed to them than penny-gaff of XX century.......more
