True First Edition of Dion Fortune’s “Aspects of Occultism”
Aquarian Press, printed in Great Britain
Dion Fortune was a British ceremonial magician and is one of the most influential female occultists and esoteric authors of all time. She was a member of the original Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and later went on to found the Society of the Inner Light
When Dion Fortune wrote Aspects of Occultism, “occultism” was an umbrella word used to describe hidden lore, secret traditions, and arcane knowledge. Today, when the word “occult” is often confused for “cult,” and all its negative aspects, Fortune’s essays today would be better referred to as “esoteric studies.” In this book she discusses evocative magic, the sites of Druid worship, parallels between Christianity and the Qabalah, the astral plane, auras, spiritual healing, power cycles, and our relationship with the Higher Self.
