Autor/-in: Violet M. Firth

Violet M. Firth, later widely known by the pen name Dion Fortune, was a British writer, psychologist, occultist, and teacher whose work explored the relationship between psychology, spirituality, and human development. She studied psychology and psychoanalysis before becoming one of the twentieth century's most influential writers on Western esoteric thought. Firth wrote numerous works of fiction and nonfiction addressing consciousness, symbolism, spiritual experience, and the hidden forces shaping personality. The Machinery of the Mind, her first published book, presents her early attempt to explain modern psychological ideas in clear, accessible language.
