Good collection of individual articles

I have just read this book. Overall it is not up to quality of The Occult Philosophy of Love and Marriage which is also a collection of essays as well as Aspects of Occultism. The value of this compilation is that of certain parts of articles that deal with some details which are by necessity excluded from her major works like The Cosmic Doctrine or Mystical Qabbalah. If this collection is read alongside these books then you will receive some necessary distillation and application of Fortune's occult science.

Another brilliant classic, another step to the inner light.

Dion Fortune has used her very rich, and illustrative discriptions once more, to help the aspirant in the magical arts. One draw-back though: It never ceases to amaze me, how bigotted she gets, every single time in her repeatative "Left hand path". She tends to assign homosexuals to it. There is a lot of invalueble information and practical technics. This is why the Sorrora Deo Non Fortuna, (as she was reffered to in the Alpha et Omega fraction of the Society of the Golden Dawn)could always be forgiven, however victorian her expressions..."Applied Magic" is a must-have classic book, for anyone interested in practical occultism. For anyone who wishes to serve the devine with high magic, this is one of the best guides available.
