About the Author
Fortune moved to Glastonbury in 1923 and formed a pilgrim centre known as the 'Chalice Orchard Club' along with a temple dedicated to the 'Mysteries of lsis' in West London known as the 'Belfry'. During her life, and since, she has received a large following. Many of her books are still read by occultists/neo-Pagans. Just after the World War II she was struck down with leukaemia and died at the age of 54. She is buried in Glastonbury, Somerset.

Customer Reviews

Poetic
This little book covers all you need to know about Glastonbury's history, both factual and mythical, and does so in the most beautiful prose imaginable. Dion Fortune's use of English is sublime - I felt as if I was entering another world reading it. Her description of the road to Glastonbury was so evocative that I upped and drove there half way through it! I will read it again and again whenever I feel like transcending the daily grind.

Magical stuff...
I'd known about Dion Fortune and loved her esoteric writing for someyears; I'd visited and grown to love Glastonbury; this book weaves thosetwo threads together to produce a deeper insight for all those who sharethose loves.
