One can get into the mind set that since Dion is most well known for her book on Qaballa published well over half a century ago therefore she might not be relevant to today's pagans, and here I strongly disagree.This work is a quick read but one of great depth in understanding the fundamentals of working with a mystery tradition, of which Wicca is one. The reason that Wicca is one is because it is one that must be practiced and taught, preferably by another Wiccan. It is not a religion that you can grasp by just reading a book, it must be experienced to understand it. With that in mind Dion goes into the different steps of how one cam prepare the mind for such an initiation. Don't pick up the book looking TO be initiated because you read it, but rather pick it up to understand what the mind goes through when such a thing does happen.The one small thing that I could warn people about is that she does come to this book as more of an occult Christian mystic then a pagan one, but as both stem from the same mystery traditions of the past it's a small gripe at best. Pick this book up to know where the generation that is writing now got their information and make your own conclusions about things. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book on the esoteric *by S***R on September 29, 2023* Dion Fortune is one of my favorite authors on these topics between this book, The Esoteric Orders and Applied Magic. I will warn to anyone new to these subjects that these books can be a fairly difficult read if you are not already quite familiar with the subject at hand. That being said even those just learning about this things should be able to digest it all after possibly rereading some sections a time or two and maybe having to look up some terms to gain a full understanding of them. Although these books aren't very thick they are still quite dense. Recommended for anyone into the occult ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful and concise work written in LVX. *by C***T on October 18, 2015* Very compact and straight-forward. Pretty much this is the kind of book you'd give someone you know whose trying to figure out what occultism is and what kind of head space it's coming from. She defines wonderfully the differences between the more sheer mystic vs. sheer occult paths, generally it seems like very few people are strictly one or the other, but at their philosophical polarities they can tangle over what each thinks of what the other is doing. The reason I drifted into the occult path was the alchemical work - that is I saw the opportunity to do the proper work of man unfallen which is to train myself in the hopes of tending the garden of Eden, right here, as well as to work on the regeneration of my own personality. That's the core of the Rosicrucian alchemical path, by extension the Golden Dawn and diaspora path (of course including that of Fraternity of the Inner Light and the later Knight and Butler creation - Servants of the Light). A beautiful and concise work written in LVX. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10194326-the-training-and-work-of-an-initiate](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10194326-the-training-and-work-of-an-initiate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
