"The principle of polarity or the Circuit of Force is, in my opinion, one of the lost secrets of western occultism" wrote Dion Fortune. This book covers tantrik yoga, psychic centres, raising kundalini and the sexual dynamics of magnetic interchange. Also shown is the connection between the Mysteries and Dionysian and Orphic rites.

Over 72 years ago in Glastonbury, Fortune started receiving communications from the Inner Planes, concerning the creation of the universe, the evolution of humanity, natural law, the evolution of consciousness, and the nature of the mind. Her written record of this experience forms the basis for this revised edition.

Fortune's basic esoteric textbook on the psychology of love and relationships explains the universal factors governing the interaction between masculine and feminine, from the `lowest' to the `highest' level of the Seven Planes. With hands-on psychological experience, she clearly states the principles of polarity underlying all relationships between men and women. Also included is Fortune's teaching on some of the esoteric principles behind abstinence and asceticism, contraception and abortion.

This is the sequel to The Sea Priestess.

Here is the complete text of `Practical Occultism in Daily Life' which she wrote to explain enough of the occult doctrines and methods to enable anyone to make use of them. Sound advice on past incarnations, karma, divination, use and abuse of mind power. She also describes the books she worked with and some of her previously unpublished archive material is presented for the first time.

Health problems are examined in terms of their physical, etheric, astral, mental or spiritual origination, along with principles of esoteric diagnosis based upon the structure of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The function and malfunction of the psychic centres are described along with principles for their treatment by conventional or alternative therapeutic methods, with particular attention paid to the aura and the etheric double. Apart from its application to the healing arts much of the material is of wider interest for it demonstrates techniques for general development of the psychic and intuitive faculties apart from their more specialised use in assisting diagnosis.

One of the last known works by Dion Fortune. Her intention in this book is, in her own words: "The observations in these pages gather together the fragments of a forgotten wisdom and explain and expand them in the light of personal observation."

Here Fortune introduces her most powerful and archetypal female character, the adept Vivien Le Fay Morgan - a reincarnation of the Atlantean Sea Priestess who saved England from being submerged. This is a classic occult, teaching fiction and a foundation work for modern Wicca, Paganism and ritual magic - it is Fortune's most popular novel.

As well as being an occultist of the first rank, Dion Fortune was an accomplished medium. Thus she is able to explain the methods, technicalities and practical problems of trance mediumship from first hand experience. She describes exactly what it is like to go into a trance and the different types of being one may meet with beyond the usual spirit guides

First published in 1929, this new edition places occultism in its proper place as a philosophy that employs rational methodology to explore the meaning of life. Fortune offers the reader an in-depth look at what occultism can be to the rational and well-trained practitioner. Her discussion of the left-hand path, psychic pathologies and mental trespassing are invaluable knowledge for the reader who is beginning a personal exploration of the occult.
