In short, in this unique collaboration of two magical practitioners and teachers we are presented with a valuable and up-to-date text on the practice of ritual magic "as it is". That is to say, as a practical, spiritual, and psychic discipline, far from the lurid superstition and speculation that are the hallmark of its treatment in sensational journalism.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Introduction to Ritual Magic by Dion Fortune
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2014

When the teachings are this profound. One will recite out loud to intuit the meaning. One will write it down and ponder every word. One will spend long hours doing so. Day after day one will come back for more. The title said it was an introduction. And yes, I feel introduced. I can't praise this book enough. It's so wonderful. Knowing she knew the mystery the way she did. If you want to learn Dion Fortune's version of the Western Esoteric Tradition, start here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Introducing Ritual Magick
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2016
Perhaps one of the best places to start off with in the book world of ritual magic would be Dion Fortune. She founded the Society of Inner Light and has a background in psychoanalysis. Her work explains the mechanics of magic and manages to remain down to earth. Gareth Knight is a student or at least someone who is strongly influenced by Dion Fortune.

This following book is co written by both and yet it was not. Garett Knight collected article that Dion Fortune wrote for her magazine, compiled them and then wrote Jos own chapter on the subject. I must say that it was easier to understand Dion Fortune than it was Gareth Knight. This is a surprise cause usually the older is harder to understand than the newer.

The book tackles a variety of subjects. Such topics are : types of mind working, Mind training, use of ritual,initiation, astral forms etc.

Some salient points that jump out are the importance of the mind in doing occult operTions, The mind must be trained to pick up psychic sparks and perceive entities. The mind must be slowly trained to do these things. Remember magic is the art of changing consiousness at will. Dion is mind over matter just like I am. The sephirot of the quabalistic tree is the core of all western occultist. Moreover ritual has basic structure but the symbols change from
Pantheon to pantheon. Different sephirot can balance each other out.

Over all great book. Filled with information and easy to read. Thumbs up,

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT BOOK !!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2010
How often do you have two authorities like Dion Fortune and Gareth Knight to take you step by step into the arcane subject of Ritual Magic? I am on my third re-reading and each re-reading is a bit slower than the previous one as more and more detail pops into the light, requiring contemplation and even meditation to fully absorb. How many books on Ritual have this many years experience behind them? Don't let the title throw you. Is it only for new students? Well, I have been in the esoteric world over fifty years...and this is the book of choice for me on ritual.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dion Fortune oui Gareth Kinght pas si convainquant
Reviewed in France on August 10, 2021
Verified Purchase
Réunion d’articles de Fortune dans un livre et agencés de manière correcte, cet ouvrage nous en dit plus sur le fonctionnement et les soubassements métaphysique de la magie selon Fortune. Il y a toutefois des répétitions, mais le propos a le mérite de la clarté
Je n’ai par contre pas été convaincu de la valeur ajouté des textes de Knight accompagnant chaque chapitre que j’ai trouvés souvent très quelconques. Le pire me semble être celui sur les talismans qui se perd dans des considérations religieuses en rapport avec la triste bataille de la Domme et qui n’a rien à y faire. On aussi l’impression que le rituel créé par lui/même et reproduit en fin d’ouvrage pourrait être là seulement pour se faire « mousser »!
