The secrets of Dr. Taverner

About This Book

Perhaps no occultist in the 20th Century has so fully combined a practical knowledge of Magick with a deep understanding of depth psychology as Dion Fortune, unless it be Israel Regardie. Dion Fortune used fiction as the vehicle for presenting this synthesis of Magick and Psychology in terms relevant to everyday living and the problems that serious students will inevitably meet. Here, in this one book, she presents eleven case studies of actual super-normal happenings in the form of exciting stories. Written as fiction, yet these tales are a serious study in the psychology of ultra-consciousness. "Dr. Taverner" was a real person and his mysterious nursing home an actual fact. The happenings chronicled here are not as uncommon as you might imagine; they are real cases, and far from being written up to make exciting fiction, they had to be toned down to make them fit for print.
