Psychic Self-Defense

The Definitive Manual for Protecting Yourself Against Paranormal Attack

By: Dion Fortune, Mary K. Greer - foreword

Narrated by: Cat Gould

After finding herself the subject of a powerful psychic attack in the 1930s, famed British occultist Dion Fortune wrote this detailed instruction manual on protecting oneself from paranormal attack. This classic psychic self-defense guide explains how to understand the signs of a psychic attack, vampirism, hauntings, and methods of defense.

Everything you need to know about the methods, motives, and physical aspects of a psychic attack and how to overcome it is here, along with a look at the role psychic elements play in mental illness and how to recognize them.

This is one of the best guides to detection and defense against psychic attack from one of the leading occult writers of the 20th century.

A Classic Occult Text

Marred slightly by over enunciation and unbelievably slow reading speed on the part of the narrator, the book itself remains a classic.

Though dated and tinged by Dion's flights of fancy, the discerning occult practitioner will find useful advice from one of the last century's foremost practitioners!

Pretty good

Everything about this book spoke to me and was very informative. It would be nice if they would separate the christian religion from psychic self defense. I'm happy with what I learned however I will leave the agenda of Christianity with the book

Poignant. Pertinent. Peerless

When you stare into the abyss…the abyss stares back. Here in lies a tool set for survival.

Very good read, highly recommend! Good narration p

Very good read, highly recommend! Good narration performance. Good information, easily understandable. Will listen again!

Meaty content…

This book provided me with information I needed. It also detailed information I’ve learned over time through intense trial and error. I’m glad that it’s published in audio form. I will be reading or listening to the titles mentioned in this book.

Awesome

I’m fascinated by the amount of knowledge that Dion Fortune had. This book opens many new thoughts for me. Loved it!

required reading

There is a plethora of wealth and information on the basics of psychic self-defense. This is a must-read for anyone who is sensitive to the subtle energies of the world. There are, however, a few outdated theories and not so politically correct points of view (written in 1930), so take those aspects into consideration. With that said, if you are looking for vivid explanations, examples, and well written instructions, here is where to look first.

Very good

Information was an eye opener for me . I look forward to hearing more from this author. This author gave great advice and good detail

Concepts that span the generations

Beautifully narrated. Even though antiquated, I was able to relate to many of the topics discussed, and really enjoyed the flow of this book. It has given me a lot to chew. I have also recommended it to my friends.

This is the one

I think this version might have been put out in response to people not wanting an edited version and the publisher delivered.

Even though her work is criticized for culturally outdated content, the content that IS still relevant far outweighs the outmoded opinions. The outdated worldviews are jaw-dropping, but having the entire text available gives important context (thanks to the publisher for including everything). If a reader is a student of the occult, then seeing past these things should be magic circle 101.

In some other review (for the print edition, I think) someone said it was like sitting with their stuffy, but interesting aunt. We should remember however, that Fortune was groundbreaking at the time as a woman, an author, and an outspoken representative and critic of the occult world.

The reader is excellent, seeming to embody the author with her beautiful elocution. I'd love to listen to her read everything by Fortune — and really, anything else for that matter.
