This is a very good book, and is worth buying. The strange love story alone is reason enough...
The way that she gets you relate to the character's is lovely, and also a bit scary.
You think when you start to read this book that you probably already know how the story will end...... but OH is that wrong, the twists that the story has keep you guessing.
Also the relation to Magick that in there is wonderful, and accurate. Even though it does't go into detail about the rituals used in the book Occultist/Qabalalist will know where she's going with this one and people that don't have a Magickal background knowledge will find this fasinating.
This is a Must for someone that want's to get deeper into the mind of Dion, or if you just love a good love story...... that's a bit nasty!

A melodramatic tale of romance and redemption
7 Jun 1999
Format:Paperback
This is a tale of melodramatic romance across many lifetimes between infantile but sensitive Veronica, who is unaware of her psychic abilities and past initiations into the occult; and Justin Lucas, her employer who hires her as his secretary and to unknowingly carry out his evil and unscrupulous desires to attain the top-secret Words of Power. Lucas's plan backfires when he recognises his past life connection with Veronica and that 'tie' to another human being sabotages his journey along the 'left hand path'. This tale conjurs up many a bad 'bodice ripper' with it's silly plot twists and instant emotional connections. Very formulaic with the 'all knowing, brutish but seductive male' and the 'utterly innocent heroine' who is the only one who can teach him to love. Swoon! And as expeceted, they're all terribly alone.
The only thing that stops this novel from holding up the crook leg of my desk is the probable accuracy of the occult refernces. For any student of the unknown forces, Ms Fortune is a well known and credible figure, thus this work of fiction, however crudely exceuted, deserves it place as a reference in any occultist's library. A final note, beware all who may find the many references to Christianity as the true saviour of man distasteful and unnecessary for an occult piece of fiction. It often feels that Ms Fortune is attempting to justify her travels along the occultist path by reminding us of her faith in Jesus.

Occult wisdom masked in the guise of fiction.
15 July 1998
Format:Paperback
Dion Fortune was an Amazing woman.This book was first published in 1927. Dion was heavily involved in the Occult community of that century England. Prior to her involvment with the Occult she was a psychologist. In this book she reveals her wisdom of human nature along with her great knowladge of the Occult. I suggest this book to those who either really enjoy a good supernatural story, Or those versed in psychic, occult, Wiccan, or paranormal studies. To explore this book is to go back in time to the days of secret societies, when magic was Magick.
