Psychic Self-Defense - By Dion Fortune


This is the best psychic defense book, hands down. The author brings years of personal experiance, and occult study.

You will learn how a personal psychic attack brought her into the study of psychology, and later the occult.

Dion explains all the different aspects of psychic attack, how to defend yourself and others, and when to get outside help. Along with this she explains "Ghosts" and what they are, "Astral Projection", "Vampires", the difference between being psychic and psychotic, and more.
This is a must for anyone dealing in the paranormal/spiritual realms.

The book is divided into four sections. Part I deals with the types of psychic attack, such as witchcraft, vampirism, and when ceremonial magick goes wrong. It also deals with the signs of the attack and analyzing the nature, figuring out what type of attack it is. Part II deals with differential diagnosis or the other things that could be going on. Part III tackles diagnosing the attack in detail, how they are made, and the motives. Lastly, Part IV is what you’d expect from a book with this title, methods of defense.

Part IV deals with a variety of methods, starting off from simple to more complex. The beginner reading this book can learn how to make Holy Water (provided they are Christian), or using garlic to absorb a negative psychic atmosphere. Getting more complex (but more common in this day) you get the Qabalastic Cross and LBRP, as well as creating magickal circles.

The Winged Bull By Dion Fortune


Dion Fortune's occult novel tells the tale of ex-soldier Ted Murchison's reluctant and perilous introduction to Magic, aiding Colonel Brangwen in the rescue of his sister Ursula from the malign clutches of Hugo Astley and Frank Fouldes, two Black Magicians who plan to use her in an obscene, blasphemous ritual which will destroy both her mind and body. The colonel  an exponent of White Magic  persuades Murchison to engage in occult rites with Ursula as a way of forming a spiritual shield from any evil psychic influence. But not all goes according to plan, and the black ritual commences with the willing participation of Colonel Brangwyn's sister and seemingly fatal results for her would-be rescuer. As in all Dion Fortune novels, 'The Winged Bull' is more than just an exciting, compelling read. Scattered through its pages are keys, clues and instructions on the practice of ceremonial magic. Read in parallel with the theoretical aspects contained in the author's 'The Mystical Qabalah', interested students may find, in Fortune's own words "the keys of the Temple put into their hands."

Sea Priestess - Dion Fortune

Dion Fortune was born Violet Mary Firth, and took her pseudonym from the motto 'Deo Non Fortuna' (By God, Not Chance). She acted on this maxim throughout her life. Believing strongly in her own destiny she was not afraid to break from those who had first initiated her and to plough her own occult furrow. 'The Sea Priestess' is Dion Fortune's attempt to alert the uninitiated into the possibilities of esoteric wisdom. A lonely estate agent, Wilfrid Maxwell, is drawn to an apparently ageless woman of great psychic power, and embarks on a 'sexless affair' into other dimensions of reality, becoming drawn inexorably into contact with an ancient cult whose sacrifice he fears he will become. A thrilling read in its own right, 'The Sea Priestess' is, in reality (like all Fortune's fiction) a teaching novel, with very clear accounts of practical rituals. Her magnum opus, 'The Mystical Qabalah', complements this information perfectly. As Dion Fortune herself admitted, "The 'Mystical Qabalah' gives the theory but the novels give the practice. ... those who study both get the keys of the Temple put into their hands." This is a book of ancient wisdom that will profit from by being read more than once.
