1955 The Training and Work of an Initiate
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce, With Dustwrapper
The very scarce second edition of Dion Fortune's work, which was first published in 1930.
In the publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper. This second edition is a very scarce example of a contemporary edition in a dust wrapper.
Dion Fortune was the co-founder of the Fraternity of the Inner Light, an occult organisation that promoted philosophies which she claimed had been taught to her by spiritual entities known as the 'Ascended Masters'. She is recognised as one of the most significant occultists and ceremonial magicians of the early twentieth century.
In this work, Fortune details preparation for - and degrees of - esoteric initiation, describing the training that must be undertaken for access to the 'Higher Mysteries'.
Passages discuss the relationship of initiation and celibacy, the source of the esoteric Christian tradition, 'daily life on the path', and 'the alphabet of the mysteries'.
