Psychic Self-Defense

What unseen forces shape the human mind-and how can one guard against harmful spiritual influence? In 'Psychic Self-Defense', renowned occultist and mystic Dion Fortune explores the hidden dimensions of psychic phenomena with a blend of practical instruction, esoteric philosophy, and firsthand experience. Drawing upon years of study in Western occult traditions, Fortune examines topics ranging from thought-forms and hypnotic influence to curses, vampirism, and the psychological dangers of occult experimentation. Rather than sensationalizing the supernatural, she approaches these subjects as serious spiritual and psychological realities, offering guidance for recognizing and resisting destructive influences while cultivating inner balance and strength. Written with clarity, conviction, and vivid insight, this classic work remains one of the most influential texts in modern occult literature. Whether read as a practical manual, a historical exploration of early twentieth-century esoteric thought, or a fascinating study of the boundary between psychology and mysticism, 'Psychic Self-Defense' continues to challenge and intrigue readers nearly a century after its original publication.
