Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune were two of the most controversial and powerful occultists of the 20th century. Crowley was regarded by many as a creature of the night, albeit one whose soul was streaked with brilliance; Fortune was viewed as one of the Shining Ones, who nevertheless wrestled with her own darkness. Between them they produced some of the best books on magick ever written, and their influence upon contemporary magicians has been profound. Written by occult scholar Alan Richardson, this unusual and provocative book draws upon unpublished material to reveal little-known aspects of Crowley and Fortune's relationship, and their role as harbingers of sweeping cultural changes--foreshadowing the women's movement, the sexual revolution, and 1960s counterculture--as well as other surprising influences upon our present culture.             … (altro)

I am an outsider regarding occultism. I read a bit here and there, and am generally sympathetic. It's just that my own practices flow in other channels.

I found this book to be informative and useful. It's a great idea to compare these leading figures, and very effective at getting across a high level perspective on what's going on. I suppose if I were going to improve it, maybe I would add in a few more leading figures of the times. How does Manly Palmer Hall fit in here, etc.

Anyway, this is very much a side dish, but tasty and nutritious all the same. ( )

Interesting comparison of the magical careers of two major figures in 20th century magic. The authors methods of starting with the last decades of their lives and working backwards is a little odd and makes it difficult to follow. Richardson also seems a bit preoccupied with Crowley's buggery. I mean, its not as though Crowley hid his sexuality, so it is not a sign of great perspicuity to realize that the man was bisexual. I was unaware of rumors that Fortune was either a man in drag or a lesbian. Richardson brings these rumors up to dismiss them. The main point I derived from the book was that Fortune had more direct contacts with Crowley than I would have expected, even in the small world of British occultism. Worth reading for anyone who is interested in Thelema or in the history of the ritual magic orders of the time.

They died within two years of each other:she within the smog enshrouded MIddlesex Hospital, amid the massive bomb damage done to London by six years of war; he in the salt sea air in Hastings, in a large and stately boarding house with the the evocative and curiously apt name of Netherwood.
