4.0 out of 5 stars
It's a horrible shame that this is out of print...,
... or it would be another of the books on my permanent gift-giving list.Reading this book is like rummaging through the proverbial attic. It's full of dusty, shabby notions that seem dated, broken, and discredited; what seemed enlightened in 1920 is disturbingly racist now, for example, and the veiled denunciations of Aleister Crowley are valuable only as historical curiosities. But in the dusty clutter, there are occasional treasures of inestimable value. Dion Fortune expressed, possibly better than any writer I've ever encountered, the extent to which mystical experience relies on the tension between the literal and the metaphorical. Buried in the middle of this book is an allegorical passage as deep and expressive as Plato's cave. If you can find this anywhere, it's worth the search.
