5.0 out of 5 stars This story is magical :) 18 Mar 2010
By Pamlock
Format:Paperback
Moon Magic is a follow on from Dion's earlier novel The Sea Priestess. Part of the book was written by colleagues after Dion's death but that does not make the book any less spectacular.

The story continues with Morgan le Fay the main character, who's name in this story has changed to Lilith le fay. In the story she is living in London and on the lookout for a new "priest" to help conduct her magical experiments. This book is more than just a story, it can also be a manual of magical practice if read and understood carefully. Dion Fortune was an incredibly fascinating woman, there is not a great deal known about her as she liked her privacy, or perhaps she liked the air of mystery that that she had. To read her books is to get to know her better, and Moon Magic shows she was a true priestess with a lot of inner strength and power.

If you liked The Sea Priestess, you won't be disappointed with this book :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 8 Feb 2005

Format:Paperback
Good book. Read it 15 years ago, and still remember some good parts, and still learn from that which I recall at the odd-moment. The other reviewer, well what can I say? Nothing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book 10 Aug 2006
By Sian B
Format:Paperback
A ground-breaking book at the time it was written - around the time of the Second World War - Dion Fortune has as much to teach us today as she did then.

Her philosophy remains valid, and her simple, no-nonsense style communicates as effectively as ever.

Influential within the Golden Dawn and later within her own Society of the Inner Light, her philosophy remains just as relevant today and her simple, no-nonsense style reaches out to the reader and carries him/her along in an involving story which works on many levels.

As for the reviewer who thinks that only those practising magick today have any relevance, I can only say that it would be difficult to be more wrong.

On the physical plane you, the male, are positive, and I, the woman, am negative, receptive; but on the inner planes, in magic, the polarity is reversed, and I am positive and you are negative, needing my influence to make you active and creative. &quote;

First of all, the place of magical working is a place set apart and concealed, for no one must know where it is because it is vulnerable to thought. Secondly, it has to be equipped with the symbols used in the working and nothing else, because it is a place where the mind has to concentrate. Thirdly, it has to have the astral temple built over it, and that is the really important part; and this is how we do it—we sit down and imagine it—nothing more—but—it is the imagination of a trained mind! &quote;
