The Meaning Of Mysitical Marriage,
This review is from: The Sea Priestess (Paperback)
The Sea Priestess is a novel set in England during the early 1930's since it was first published by Dion Fortune's own Society of Inner Light in 1935. It is the story of Vivian Le Fay Morgan a reincarnated Atlantean priestess who helps transform the life of an unhappy man trapped in his own self-inflicted neuroses through her unique occult methods. This novel contains many fragments of Dion Fortune's personal memories of Atlantean knowledge. Dion Fortune's novels were written specifially as fictional teaching manuals for students of the magical arts and are able to transmit to the psyche a depth of knowledge not possible through a book of non-fiction. Their main theme revolves around the proper chanelling of the most potent creative force in the universe which constitutes the essence of all mythology, mystery teachings, magic and alchemy: The harmonious exchange of masculine and feminine forces which ignite transformation, otherwise known as "polarity magic" or more commonly called "love."

Not sure what I think,
By Mizdeegz "mizdeegz" (Orland, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sea Priestess P (Paperback)
I was prepared to really like this book after reading the previous reviews, but I have to say I'm disappointed. I enjoyed the old-fashioned description & writing style very much initially, but found myself getting more and more impatient while reading it & feeling that it was "dated". I expected something along the lines of Mists of Avalon, or Heart of the Fire... one of those novels that begins as a "fun read" but turns into something more profound & touches one spiritually. I purposely selected this book to begin my study of Dion fortune (I am a Phd student in Esoteric Philosphy, and a Wiccan Priestess), knowing that it was a novel rather than a studybook, expecting to be entertained as well as expanded somewhat. My feeling is that Dion Fortune probably was trying to convey some personal experience or past life through this story (I'm not sure, because I havent yet read her other books fully, although I have a stack of them in my "to read" pile)..This book might open doors for some people, but for me it really didnt. Luckily, I was reading another book on Atlantis at the same time, so I was compelled to follow through and finish the Sea Priestess..otherwise I might have put it down. Back in the 30s when it was written, I'm sure it was major, but now it really seems dated to me. If you are interested in the history of the occult in the last 150 yrs, then definately read it, or if you are really really drawn to the sea & sea magic, then read it. Eek I'm sorry, but I just didnt connect much with this book.
