3.0 out of 5 stars Not sure what I think, April 21 2003

By	Mizdeegz "mizdeegz" (Salt Lake City, UT) - 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sea Priestess is You, Sep 2 2001

By	Nancy R. Fenn "The IntrovertZCoach" (San Diego) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sea Priestess P (Paperback)

As an astrologer, professional metaphysician, expert Tarot symbolist and VisionCoach, I am somewhat embarrassed at how adamantly I recommend this rare jewel of a book to my clients. Unassuming in its title, it carefully hides in the traditional esoteric manner, some of the greatest wisdom you will ever encounter on the subject of what it means to really be a woman. When I hear enthusiastic discussion about rights and entitlements and equality, I often think of the tale Dion Fortune tells of the beautiful, enthralling and mysteriously ageless woman who lives by the sea, the Sea Priestess. This book is a written ritual. It is sheer magic. If you but read it and really understand it, and you are a woman, you will never, ever be the same. This book is all about power. It's the real thing. Fortune is a seminal writer in the field of metaphysics whose name you should know and whose books you should read if you are serious about this field.
