Aspects of Occultism: Hidden Energies, Forbidden Powers, and the Sacred Science of the Western Mysteries
Description
Dion Fortune’s Aspects of Occultism is an electrifying exploration of the forbidden dimensions of reality, written by one of the 20th century’s most authoritative voices in Western esotericism. Far from New Age fluff, this is a serious occult manual grounded in mystical psychology, Qabalah, ceremonial magic, and the lost wisdom of the Mystery Schools.
In this short but dense work, Fortune lays bare the hidden machinery of spiritual consciousness, the astral plane, and the ancient forces that shape destiny—forces largely forgotten or deliberately veiled by religious institutions and modern science alike.
Key revelations include:
God and the Gods: The secret behind monotheism and polytheism—how deities, saints, and angels are archetypal forces generated by human consciousness and powered by cosmic energies
The Astral Plane: A complete unveiling of this subtle dimension—its laws, entities, dangers, and role in magic, dreams, and death
Isis and the Divine Feminine: A defense of sacred sexuality, the worship of goddesses, and the importance of balance between masculine and feminine polarities in ritual and consciousness
Magical Evocation: How gods and angels are built through collective thought-forms and how they can be invoked, controlled, and embodied—if the adept is properly prepared
Sacred Centres and Geomancy: Hidden planetary alignments, ancient power-zones on Earth, and how stone circles, cathedrals, and temples were energetically mapped to celestial forces
The Aura and Psychic Health: Secrets of subtle energy, spiritual healing, and the aura’s role as both shield and transmitter of consciousness
Power Cycles and Ceremonial Magic: How to harness elemental forces, the zodiac, and planetary tides to realign the soul and repair karmic damage
Fortune also delivers potent criticisms of institutional religion, blind faith, and shallow spiritualism, urging instead the disciplined pursuit of knowledge through meditation, study, and occult practice. Her tone is bold, unapologetic, and grounded in direct experience—a rare voice among esoteric writers.
For seekers of forbidden wisdom, spiritual sovereignty, and true initiation, this book is a blueprint of the Western Mystery Tradition at its highest. It is neither dogma nor fantasy—it is a practical guide to unlocking the sacred machinery of the soul and cosmos.
Whether you are drawn to ceremonial magic, psychic development, esoteric Christianity, or simply wish to understand the spiritual architecture of existence, Aspects of Occultism is a revelatory text—a key to real power, hidden knowledge, and spiritual transformation.
