5.0 out of 5 stars Back In Print Again!, July 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Magical Battle of Britain (Paperback)

For years I have tried to find this book, but to no avail! Now that it is once more available, I immediately got it and have found it to be everything I was told it was, and more. Dion Fortune again shows her timelessness and ability to reach across the years and influence the minds and actions of a world that is vastly different than the one in which she lived. Although it was originally written many years ago, I was quite amazed to find it applicable to the present day and time, and relevant to those both involved in the occult world, as well as those not occult oriented but still interested in making any small change in this world. To me, this speaks of an ultimate truth that exceeds time and outer conditions, for it is enduring throughout the effects of both! The book is informative and proves that we are all connected, and that we may through our focused solidarity join together to bring light, understanding, and stability into being for all. Dion Fortune did just this during a dark and dangerous time in our Earth's history, guiding and leading many through a series of meditations aimed at securing the British Isles, and even the world, against what could have been a terrible outcome. Through reading this book, one learns how to become a channel or conduit that allows higher spiritual forces to come through and be played out in this world. It is a pivotal and timely book that will reach out to those touched by our present day global situation, providing an informative and reasonable way of allowing us to work in conjunction to make change a reality. The book shows both instruction and method in a very clear and understandable way, making it usable for the novice and expereinced alike. Anyone interested in the evolutionary progress of our race and planet should invest it this book, for there are seeds of potential in the teachings that will lead to a deeper understanding of how the inner world works, and how we might be able to increase our awareness of it. In addition to Dion Fortune's text, Gareth Knight, one of this day's most respected and foremost spiritual instructors, has written an interesting synopsis of world events as they were happening alongside the work of Dion Fortune and her group. It is quite amazing to see the outer and inner correspondences, and once more proves that all is connected, and that we only see played out before us a very small part of what is termed "reality," which is really only a tip of the iceberg, being the final effects of a long chain of inner events. I highly recommend this book for the collector, the silent inner worker interested in service to humanity, or anyone just interested in how the power of thought and mind might be effective to produce tangible change and improvement.

This book deals with Dion Fortune and her order's work in Magickal defense of their island. I have often heard old timers refer to the magical battle of Britain. This shows the step by step methods and the rituals used. Gareth Knight has done the public a service in helping bringing this book to print.

This review is from: The Magical Battle of Britain (Paperback)

For years I had heard from old timers how they had help stop Hitler in the Magickal battle of Britain. Hitler was poised to invade Britain twice but never did. This book shows how Fortune & her group did their part. It gives the nuts & bolts of how Fortune [or any mage] goes about such a task. Gareth Knight did a service when he spear headed this book. It's a pity it's so hard to find...but WELL WORTH the hunt.
