From the Wikipedia page :
“Dion Fortune (born Violet Mary Firth, 6 December 1890 – 6 January 1946) was a British occultist, ceremonial magician, novelist and author. She was a co-founder of the Fraternity of the Inner Light, an occult organisation that promoted philosophies which she claimed had been taught to her by spiritual entities known as the Ascended Masters. A prolific writer, she produced a large number of articles and books on her occult ideas and also authored seven novels, several of which expound occult themes. . . . “one of the most significant occultists and ceremonial magicians of the early 20th century”.
Although I’ve read (and still have) several of Ms Fortune’s books and respect her sound knowledge and approach, I don’t follow her path. In the context of this book, I’ve referred to Ms Fortune because of the psychic work she did during World War (part) Two to aid the Allies in winning by countering / containing evil, as . . .
“outlined in the Gareth Knight edited book “The Magical Battle of Britain” (my copy pub. Skylight Press, 2012, ISBN 978-1-908011-45-9 [1] ), which I reviewed at http://gnwmythr.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/encouragement-and-magical-battle-of.html. Ms Fortune directed her team through a series of 136 weekly and at least 19 (I have not found out how many in total) monthly meditations (I originally intended to publish a list at some stage, but it’s so long and comprehensive that I’m concerned about breaching copyright, so I may either see if I can find an online list, or publish something listing the broad themes only). At the end of this, she was exhausted, and that work is considered to have contributed to her death, but a change for the better had been accomplished.”
