The essays in this book originally appeared as articles in the Inner Light Journal, the house journal of Dion Fortune's Society of the Inner Light, between 2002 and 2005 and include two lectures originally given at the Temenos Academy. Full of wisdom and insights gained through a lifetime's work in the Western Esoteric Tradition, topics covered include the role of psychism within the occult tradition, working with the Elemental Tides, the medieval grail texts of Chrétien de Troyes which predate Malory, pathworking the Qabalistic Tree of Life and the magical symbolism of the rose. Many of the articles have a common theme relating to the life and work of Dion Fortune and her trailblazing esoteric path, the results of which are still bearing fruit today.
