What is Occultism?

First published in 1929 (under the title Sane Occultism), this volume is as useful and pertinent now as it was then. this edition, with a comprehensive, context-setting Introduction by Gareth Knight, places occultism in its proper place as a philosophy that employs rational methodology to explore the meaning of life. Fortune offers the reader an in-depth look at what occultism can be to the rational and well-trained practitioner. She explains how occultism moves a step beyond both physical sciences and psychology, allowing the seeker to be guided by rational, measured investigation of psychic experience. Her discussion of the left-hand path, psychic pathologies, and mental trespassing are invaluable knowledge for the reader threader who is beginning a personal exploration of the occult. What Is Occultism? reveals the heart of occult ethics and ideals: occult discipline leads to spiritually and ethically healthier lives.
