Amor y sexo según el ocultismo
Esta obra que contiene las enseñanzas esotéricas relativas al problema del amor y el sexo, está destinada especialmente a aquellos que no tienen conocimientos ocultos sobre esta materia, pero que, sin prejuicios de ninguna clase, están buscando la información necesaria que les pueda resolver los problemas de la vida.
A éstos les podemos decir, a modo de explicación de estas páginas, que cada raza tiene su propia sabiduría secreta tradicional, que jamás se hace pública y que sólo se transmite de los labios a los oídos o a lo sumo en manuscrito, y a aquellos que verdaderamente son dignos de recibirla. Esta tradición sigue una línea ininterrumpida hasta la más remota antigüedad, convergiendo las diferentes corrientes tradicionales conforme se aproximan a su fuente común.

About the author
Dion Fortune
140 books469 followersViolet Mary Firth Evans (better known as Dion Fortune), was a British occultist and author. Her pseudonym was inspired by her family motto "Deo, non fortuna" (Latin for "by God, not fate").
From 1919 she began writing a number of novels and short stories that explored various aspects of magic and mysticism, including The Demon Lover, The Winged Bull, The Goat-Foot God, and The Secrets of Dr. Taverner. This latter is a collection of short stories based on her experiences with Theodore Moriarty. Two of her novels, The Sea Priestess and Moon Magic, became influential within the religion of Wicca, especially upon Doreen Valiente.
Of her non-fiction works on magical subjects, the best remembered of her books are; The Cosmic Doctrine, meant to be a summation of her basic teachings on mysticism; The Mystical Qabalah, an introduction to Hermetic Qabalah; and Psychic Self Defence, a manual on how to protect oneself from psychic attacks. Though some of her writings may seem dated to contemporary readers, they have the virtue of lucidity and avoid the deliberate obscurity that characterised many of her forerunners and contemporaries.

Me ha decepcionado el trabajo de la incombustible Dion Fortune. Resulta su visión sobre el sexo, el género y los papeles sociales del hombre y mujer muy alejado de nosotros y anacrónicos; por otro lado, entrega "verdades" ocultas de la tradición occidental muy discutibles en la concepción contemporánea de la magia. Un trabajo prescindible.
