5.0 out of 5 stars An ancient monastery, a wayward monk ,and the rites of Pan., October 27, 1997

By

This review is from: The Goat Foot God (Paperback)

Hugh Preston and Mona, aided by the antiquarian bookseller Jelkes, convert an ancient monastery into a temple for the worship of Pan, the goat foot god.The monastery is haunted by the spirit of Ambrosius, a 15th century monk who was condemned for his pagan leanings and interest in Pan. Unleashed occult forces which overlap the centuries threaten chaos, but Hugh and Mona weather the psychic storms and conduct an invocation of Pan.Here ,as with her other novels, Dion Fortune imparts a considerable amount of occult knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Occult scientist, May 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Goat Foot God (Paperback)

This book is very entertaining and gives a very obvious encounter with the beliefs and practices of the old religion. Its reference to the old religion is still very basic since it does not go too deeply into the different aspects of Pan. It does however give the true importance of the balance of nature. Good for anyone in the study from Initiate up to adept to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insight in to real magic!, November 19, 2008

By 

Paul Clark (Los Angeles, Ca.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Goat Foot God (Paperback)

It is a rare opportunity to get a chance to see behind the closed doors of an esoteric lodge. In this book by Dion fortune, we have just this chance. Although couched in the form of entertaining fiction, The Adept Dion Fortune gives us insight into the Greater Mysteries of Initiation. Facinating and most entertaining. a must for every sincere seeker of the western Mysteries! -Paul A. Clark, author of the Broken Seal.
