(2.92) | Ingen | This new revised, expanded and beautifully-written edition tells the full story of a woman who hid behind a veil of secrecy and who became a cult figure in the years after her death.

As a powerful psychic and medium, obsessed with the study and practice of Magic, and a high-grade initiate within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, her career was never entirely in this world, and her companions not always human.
From her birth in Llandudno, through her years in the drowned lands of Somerset, the author unfolds the luminous and very moving patterns of her life: her early career as a psychoanalyst, her memories of past lives on Atlantis and relationships with Inner Plane beings who have an evolutionary interest in our world; her romance with a man she believed to be ono-human and her fraught marriage to a doctor whom everyone knew as Merlin; the foundation of her own group devoted to bringing through the Western mysteries at a time when few people knew that there was such a thing and the story of her long, hard, and always stormy journey into the Otherworld, towards the heart of the Goddess that she saw as sleeping within the Earth itself, and who needed awakening]]… (mere) |

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. Then I saw why there must be priestesses as well as priests; for there is a dynamism in a woman that fecundates the emotional nature of a man as surely as he fecundates her physical body; this was a thing forgotten by modern civilization which stereotypes and conventionalizes all things, and forgets the Moon, Our Lady of Flux and Reflux. - Dion Fortune, The Sea Priestess | |

Which leaves nothing more to do but to say the ancient words that we have said to this great priestess, this Daughter of Heaven and Earth a thousand times, in a thousand temples, throughout the aeons: Dion, Dion, Dion...we'll always be with you.
