Episode Description
Hello Seekers!
This week on Occulture Shock, we're digging into one of the most...awkward...fight in modern occult history. It wasn't in the form of a public blow-up but it was a stealthy and corrosive power struggle between two of the most recognizable women in occult history.
When Dion Fortune clashed with Moina Mathers inside the Alpha et Omega, questions of authority, publishing, control, as well as gossip regardig the legitimacy of personl threats felt on both sides of the divide were brought into question.
We talk about the origins of Fortune's opus, Psychic Self Defense, and why this particular conflict got a little spiteful.
There is documented history to be found here and tea to spill surroundig two notable women occultists navgating belief in a system that wasn't structured to handle disagreement or independance very well.
Enjoy, and as always...
Thanks for getting weird with me!
