Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
Dion Fortune, alongside Aleister Crowley, is one of the most important figures in the Western Mysticism oeuvre. The importance of Dr. Taverner's training and expertise to Dion Fortune is foretold immediately in this book. Also, Fortune continues to tell us that the supernatural tales described in this greatly entertaining work are, in fact, hardly works of fiction at all.
Let this book pique your interests.
This book is very highly recommended for those interested in the supernatural and/or psychic and astral phenomena. More serious readers of the Occult will also not fail to fall to raptures during the read, as it is riddled with great Occult lessons and truisms.
One of the best books I bought last year!
