Dion Fortune

Collecting novels of the fantastic as I do, I eventually and inevitably came across those of Dion Fortune, and bought a few. To this day, they remain untracked by my eyes. Nonetheless, I was sensitized to her name, and could spot her non-fiction selection Psychic Self-Defence readily on the shelf of a used-book store and snatch it up. A bargain at $5.00, I'm sure!

I haven't read it yet, but I'm much looking forward to learning how to protect myself against various types of intrusive mind assaults. Sample a few pages yourselves below.

And thanks to Google Books, you can read the whole thing online here.

I thought all we needed was a tin foil helmet to protect against psychic intrusions?

This explains how the Bush Administration got in power and stayed in power. 🧛

Stpatme--I always loved the riff in Heinlein's STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND, now over 40 years old, where the President's wife rant things based on her astrologer's advice.

And then came Nancy Reagan. We always suspected that, but when she actually admitted it, I was blown away. Of course there was a time when Ronny couldn't have gotten elected just for having been divorced.

stpatme--Nancy Reagan was one SF prediction we wished had never come true!

Birdy--I think your last name works good for a private eye as well!
