Product Description
Esoteric Orders and their Work examines how and why esoteric schools have restricted admission to their secret societies and orders, and shrouded their practices in mystery. The knowledge guarded by these schools-passed down through the ages, and revised from time to time by great teachers-is a secret traditional science that studies the causes that lie behind observable phenomena.
Dion Fortune reveals every aspect of these secret organizations and the training they offer to initiates.
Revised edition contains a new introduction by Gareth Knight, and an index.

Not So Secret Orders
Why these "secret" orders are shrouded in mystery is because a lot of its members are either rich or famous. Not really psychopathic, but definately a secret order. Where I live in the twin ports there are two masonic temples one right on a business street, but they do is still largely secret as these people usually go out of the way to keep a secret identity or lead a double life. Anyone who has internet access can look up the "secret" order's official web page and anyone who can afford it can buy one of these books. However, a lot of Americans and even other countries you need something where they know who won't tell on them, and they use people like me to shamelessly promote themselves while I get a low end "membership." I am a member of the O.T.O., Church of Lucifer and Golden Dawn and these ones you just need to know exact information what their belief system is and how to practice and live it. Then there's the Christian issue- is it worth thumbing your nose at a predominantly Christian society? We all know how boring a Sunday church service is. And to an extent this is a cult, only those with an obessive interest in esoteric subjects pursue membership these organizations. Dion Fortune in all her recent repressings of books for Weiser books they have contact info for the Society of the Inner Light. Now...do you have the balls to join?
The Conspiracy of the Occult
A great book. It shows how secret societies have lived in societies through out history. What they have done or tried to do.
