Me, mySelf & Dion Fortune - Paperback

by Alan Richardson (Author)

Decades ago, I often said that it would take a book in itself to describe the incredible levels of chance, coincidence, synchronicity and totally bizarre serendipity that enabled (and often forced) me to research and write about this magical soul known as Dion Fortune.This is the book. When I clumsily self-published the first version it was filled with typos and amateurish formatting that made me blush. While that edition might have had a certain crude charm (and by now collectors' value!), I promised myself that I would tidy it up one day and charge half the price. Although I retired from the Mobile Library service in 2017 and my magnificent Van is now scrap metal, the inner and outer journeying still continues because that strange Being or Entity or Energy known as 'Deo non Fortuna'never quite goes away...

Author Biography

Alan Richardson has been writing weird, wonderful, winsome and frequently embarrassing books - not all of which appear on Amazon - for longer than many of his readers have been alive. He has done biographies of such luminaries as Dion Fortune, Aleister Crowley, Christine Hartley and William G. Gray. Plus novels and novellas that are all set in his local area. He is also an expert on Earth Mysteries, Mythology, Paganism, Celtic lore, Ancient Egypt, jet fighters, army tanks, Wiltshire tea shops, Great British Actors and Newcastle United Football Club. Mind you, he regards supporting the latter as being the closest thing a man can get to a Near Death Experience. He does not belong to any group or society, does not take pupils, no longer gives lectures, and insists on holding down a full-time job in the real world like any other mortal. That, after all, is part and parcel of the real Path - however it might be defined. He is married with four daughters, and lives the life of a Happy Hermit in the south-west of England.
