Dion Fortune Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Dion Fortune, a prominent British occultist and co-founder of the Fraternity of the Inner Light, explored spiritual philosophies imparted by the Ascended Masters. Known for her prolific writing, she authored numerous articles and books on occult practices, alongside seven novels that delve into these themes. Her works reflect a unique blend of fiction and spiritual exploration, making significant contributions to the understanding of ceremonial magic and mystical traditions.

The author crafted seven novels, with four steeped in occult and fantasy themes, reflecting a style reminiscent of literary figures like H. Rider Haggard and Algernon Blackwood. The remaining three, written under the pseudonym "V. M. Steele," are romantic thrillers, showcasing her passion for writing independent of her magical pursuits. Knight suggests that these thrillers reveal her genuine love for the craft. An unfinished eighth novel, "Moon Magic," was later completed by her protégé and published after her death.

"Der geflügelte Stier" von Dion Fortune entführt in eine mystische Welt, in der Ted Murchison, in seiner Verzweiflung, den alten babylonischen Gott um Hilfe anruft. Dies führt ihn in eine geheimnisvolle Dimension, wo er die Tochter eines Freundes vor einem dunklen Magier retten muss. Eine okkulte Geschichte über Magie und Sexualität.

Focusing on the practical application of psychology, the author addresses the importance of understanding mental processes to prevent and alleviate psychological issues. Through her experience, she discovered that many individuals suffering from mental and nervous troubles could benefit from a basic comprehension of how the mind functions. This knowledge not only aids in recovery but also enhances patient cooperation during treatment, streamlining the healing process.

Exploring spiritual and metaphysical themes, the author delves into psychological concepts such as consciousness, dreams, hypnosis, and symbolization. Written during her early career as Violet Firth, this work reflects her foundational ideas and insights into the interplay between the mind and the mystical.

Additionally, it discusses ethical considerations such as vegetarianism and the role of secrecy in esoteric traditions. This work serves as both an insightful introduction for novices and a thought-provoking read for seasoned practitioners.

Nach den Maßstäben seiner Welt hatte er seine Seele an den Teufel verkauft und erwartete eine Ewigkeit im Höllenfeuer. Trotz selbstständigen Denkens lassen sich die Normen der eigenen Welt nicht einfach ablegen und kehren oft zurück, wenn man überrascht wird. Die Minuten vergingen, ohne dass sich jemand bewegte. Mona beobachtete die wechselnden Regungen im Gesicht des Mannes – einem vertrauten, aber fremden Antlitz – und erkannte die Tragödie des Klosterlebens für diejenigen, die nicht berufen sind. War dies ein englischer Abaelard, der sich über den Tisch beugte, um in ihr Gesicht zu sehen? Sie starrte zurück, während die Uhr in der Stadt die Stunde schlug. Wie lange würden sie so verharren? Sie wagte nicht, sich zu bewegen, aus Angst vor den Konsequenzen. Sie konnte sich vorstellen, dass Hugh Paston tot umfallen würde, wenn der Insasse seines Körpers sich plötzlich zurückzog. Der erste Schritt durfte nicht von ihr kommen. Dann streckte der Mann, ohne den Blick von ihr abzuwenden, langsam seine Hand aus und berührte ihren Handrücken mit den Fingerspitzen, als wolle er ihren Puls fühlen. Die Berührung war eiskalt und fühlte sich an wie die Hand eines Toten.

Der mystische Weg, der zur Vereinigung mit Gott führt, ist so bekannt, dass oft vergessen wird, dass es einen anderen Weg gibt, der scheinbar in eine andere Richtung führt, aber am Ende zum selben Ziel führt. Wir sind so daran gewöhnt zu hören, dass die Abkehr von der Welt und die Verleugnung seiner Selbst der einzig wahre Weg für die Seele ist, die das Höchste sucht, dass wir es kaum zu flüstern wagen, dass es einen anderen Weg geben könnte, den Weg der Beherrschung der manifestierten Existenz und die Apotheose des Selbst. Es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten Gott zu verehren: wir können ihn in der unmanifestierten Essenz verehren oder wir können ihn in seiner manifestierten Form verehren. Beide Wege sind legitim, sofern wir bei der Verehrung der manifestierten Form, die Essenz nicht vergessen und bei der Verehrung der Essenz diese nicht mit der manifestierten Form verwechseln, denn beides würde bedeuten, die Sünde des Götzendienstes zu begehen, die letztendlich nichts anders ist als eine falsche Gewichtung.

The book reveals the complete and original texts of Dion Fortune's significant rituals, the Rite of Isis and the Rite of Pan, previously kept in her society's archive. Edited by Gareth Knight, it connects these rituals to Fortune's novels and offers insights into her magical teachings. The inclusion of additional archive materials and articles from the 1930s, including an essay on ceremonial magic and critiques of contemporaries, provides a deeper understanding of the practical magical principles she wove into her fiction, expanding the accessibility of occult practices.

Death hounds, shape shifters, and vampires are among the patients treated by the Holmes-like Dr. Taverner and his assistant Dr. Rhodes in this work of supernatural fiction by acclaimed spiritualist and occult writer Dion Fortune. First published in 1926, the adventures of Dr.Taverner and Dr. Rhodes take readers across the marshy moonlit fields of nightfall, hunting spirits and keeping watch over souls. Suffering from vampirism? Being stalked by a death hound? Haunted by past life debts? Family under a suicidal curse? From across the countryside patients and their desperate families come to seek treatment for unconventional diseases from an unconventional doctor. His secret? Treating the diseases of the occult. Though Fortune wrote The Secrets of Doctor Taverner as her first novel, she maintained that all the events were based on true occurrences. Many believe Taverner to be Fortune's own spiritual teacher, Dr. Moriarty, and Rhodes to be based on Fortune herself. An essential and fun read for anyone interested in the Western Mystery Tradition, Dion Fortune, the melding of medicine and magic, or just good old-fashioned paranormal fiction.

The Demon Lover was first published in 1927, the same year as H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu. Dion Fortune was among a generation of occult horror writers that formed popular culture's obsession with secret societies, vampires, demons, ritual magick, and dark powers lurking in the shadows. What sets Fortune apart from so many of her contemporaries is her deep knowledge of the inner workings of magickal orders, rites, and practices, and her own freethinking on occult subjects, demonstrated in the classic Psychic Self-Defense and The Mystical Qabalah.

The book offers a unique collaboration between two magical practitioners, presenting a blend of Dion Fortune's insights and Gareth Knight's practical knowledge on ritual and ceremonial magic. It addresses the limitations of Fortune's original writings due to the conventions of her time, providing modern readers with a comprehensive and practical guide. The text emphasizes magic as a serious spiritual and psychic discipline, steering clear of sensationalism and superstition prevalent in popular culture, and instead focusing on its authentic practice and teachings.

Additionally, it provides insights into the aura and etheric double, making it valuable not only for healing practitioners but also for individuals interested in enhancing their psychic and intuitive abilities.

The Arthurian Formula, was the last major work of Dion Fortune, and formed the corner stone of the inner work of her Society of the Inner Light for the following twenty years, supplemented by the remarkably gifted psychic Margaret Lumley Brown.

This handbook helps the living assist the dying at the time of death. It teaches that the living must, first and foremost, understand the process that the soul goes through before they can help the spirit in its transition. Dion Fortune's Book of the Dead is a clear, concise, illuminating guide that explains the stages in the natural process of dying that each and every soul passes through from this world to the next. Fortune shows how traditional customs connected with the passing of a soul have their roots in psychic fact. For example, we place candles and fresh flowers in the death chamber as soon as the soul has departed because they provide sufficient etheric emanations to meet the needs of the "etheric double," assisting in the soul's disentanglement from the physical. Without the flowers and candles, the etheric body will draw its vitality from any available source, including grievers. Loved ones in particular are susceptible to depletion and can be drained dry in their ignorance. The living, Fortune writes, have two tasks to "We must see to it that dust returns as swiftly and harmoniously as possible, giving rise to none of the happenings which may be termed the pathologies of death," and "we ought to follow up the departing soul with the right kind of telepathic communication until it is safely established on the Other Side."

„Die kosmische Doktrin“ untersucht das Niemandsland, in dem Wissenschaft und Magie sich begegnen. Die Konzepte der „Big-Bang“-Theorie und der Chaosforschung finden gleichzeitig mit der Evolution von Menschen, Pflanzen und Tieren statt. Im Jahre 1923 fand in Glastonbury zu Beginn der Frühlingsäquinox ein bemerkenswertes Ereignis statt: Fast ein Jahr lang empfing Dion Fortune von den inneren Ebenen Mitteilungen über die Erschaffung des Universums, die später zu diesem spirituellen Klassiker wurden. „Die kosmische Doktrin“ blieb bis in die 1980er Jahre ein streng gehütetes Geheimnis, da Dion Fortunes Nachfolger das Original als „ein höchst gefährliches Buch“ ansah. 1949 erschien für einen kleinen Kreis eine privat gedruckte Version. Jeder menschliche Geist lernt die Lektionen freiwillig und erwirbt die Erfahrungen, die mit dem physischen Universum zusammenhängen. Neben der Erschaffung des Universums und der Evolution der Menschheit lehrt „Die kosmische Doktrin“ vieles über die Naturgesetze, die Evolution des Bewußtseins und das Wesen des Denkens. Das Buch ist mit 26 Diagrammen von einem der engsten Mitarbeiter Dion Fortunes, Charles Thomas Loveday, illustriert. „Dieses Buch wurde geschrieben, um das Denken zu schulen, nicht, um es zu informieren.“

Greer, author of Women of the Golden Dawn, and a new afterword with excerpts from rarely seen documents by Fortune herself describing how the book came about.   After finding herself the subject of a powerful psychic attack in the 1930s, famed British occultist Dion Fortune wrote this detailed instruction manual on protecting oneself from paranormal attack.

Everyone has the ability to access the invisible planes of existence a whole kingdom of mind and spirit which cannot be perceived with the physical senses. Fortune provides invaluable guidance to anyone intent on increasing their inner awareness. She declares, "Esoteric tradition admits of no exclusiveness; it is the very essence of its spirit that it blasphemes no God that has been hallowed by our devotion. It sees all religions as the expressions of our spirit rather than the personal revelation of a jealous God to His chosen people. It suffers from neither superstitious awe nor bigoted fear."

Each chapter is supplemented and expanded by a companion chapter on the same subject by Gareth Knight. In Dion Fortune's day the conventions of occult secrecy prevented her from being too explicit on the practical details of magic, except in works of fiction. These veils of secrecy having now been rolled back, Gareth Knight has taken the opportunity to fill in much practical information that Dion Fortune might well have included had she been writing today. In short, in this unique collaboration of two magical practitioners and teachers we are presented with a valuable and up-to-date text on the practice of ritual or ceremonial magic "as it is". That is to say, as a practical, spiritual and psychic discipline, far removed from the lurid superstition and speculation that are the hallmark of its treatment in sensational journalism and channels of popular entertainment.
