Record summary
Dion Fortune’s book Psychic Self-Defense systematized accounts of curses, vampirism, hostile thought-forms, and ritual protection, drawing partly on her experiences within British occult circles. During the 1930s and wartime period, she and associates also circulated narratives about magical or psychic conflict affecting Britain. The lead matters for comparing occult interpretation of illness and interpersonal conflict with therapeutic, social, and wartime explanations. It is a textual and movement-history subject rather than verified evidence of psychic attack; the autobiographical and doctrinal sources require contextual reading.
