First published in 1930, Psychic Self-Defense is a foundational work of modern Western esotericism by renowned occultist and psychologist Dion Fortune. Written as both a practical manual and a series of case studies, the book explores the nature of psychic attack, psychic vampirism, obsession, and magical interference—along with methods of recognition, prevention, and protection.
Drawing on her clinical training and experience within esoteric orders, Fortune presents a rational, grounded approach to psychic phenomena, emphasizing mental discipline, spiritual hygiene, and ethical responsibility. Rather than sensationalism, the work offers calm, methodical guidance intended to strengthen the listener’s psychological and spiritual resilience.
This audiobook edition brings Fortune’s clear, authoritative voice to life for modern listeners interested in occult studies, metaphysical psychology, spiritual protection, and the historical roots of contemporary psychic self-defense practices.
