After many years out of print, Dion Fortune's War Letters, edited by Gareth Knight, are being re-issued by Skylight Press.

Immediately following Britain’s declaration of war in 1939, Dion Fortune began a series of weekly letters to members of her fraternity, who were unable to hold meetings due to wartime travel restrictions. With the enemy planes rumbling overhead, she set about organising a series of visualisations intended to formulate “seed ideas in the group mind of the race”, a set of archetypal visions to stimulate the protection of British sovereignty and the renewal of national and international accord and cooperation. For the first time, the Society’s doors were opened to anyone who wanted to join in these meditations and learn the previously secret methods of esoteric mind-working. “The war has to be fought and won on the physical plane,” she wrote, “before physical manifestation can be given to the archetypal ideals. What was sown will grow and bear seed.” With this principle in mind she guided her fraternity through the dark days of the Blitz, continuing her weekly letters even when the bombs fell through her own roof.

 

Magical Battle of Britain

       
   

A novella by Margaret Lumley Brown, former pythoness at the Society of the Inner Light who took over much of Dion Fortune's work in 1946. Originally published in 1918 and unavailable since, Both Sides of the Door is an autobiographical account of a terrifying haunting incident which Margaret experienced after experimenting with table-turning in a house which turned out to have a disturbed history. The incident was responsible for opening up the remarkable mediumship gift which Margaret Lumley Brown was renowned for in later life.

This edition includes an introductory chapter by Gareth Knight, who worked with Margaret Lumley Brown in the 1950s and 60s.
