Opis

THE SEKHMET INITIATION is a work of occult fiction and very loosely based on my own natural shamanic initiation. The novel will take the reader through the shamanic calling of the main character Meredith Moon. For those who have not previously read occult fiction I will do my best to explain briefly what it is and what it does. Novels of occult fiction are works of fiction that are specifically written for initiates of the occult. Anyone may read occult fiction however, only the true initiate will properly appreciate the allegories and symbolism used within the work. Occult fiction also has the ability to produce certain changes in the psyche of the reader. The initiate should be able to alter their perceptions in order to read the work on the level to which they are are attuned. Works of occult fiction can only be written by adepts as they are part fiction and part channelled works. A work of this kind is usually written so that it may serve as an aid to the progressing initiate who intuitively feels they should read it. If this is the case, the initiate should take the time to read, absorb and meditate upon the content and any specific passages that they are drawn to. So in a nutshell occult fiction can only be properly understood and utilised in a magical capacity. Aleister Crowley's Moonchild and Dion Fortune's The Sea Priestess are prime examples of occult fiction. These novels are not generally prized for their literary merit but for the wealth of occult information contained within for those who care to observe it. Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and what Alice Found There are both works of occult fiction that are also credited with great literary merit. There are many other literary classics whose work will clearly stand out to the initiate as works of occult fiction. Many of the writings of Edgar Allan Poe as another example may also be classed as occult fiction that hold great literary merit. As I have stated previously this book has not been professionally edited for a number of reasons, the main reason being that certain works that contain channelled information are not to be changed or distorted in any way, shape or form; and certainly not by an editor who is a non initiate. Therefore the work remains as it was meant to be in its entirety. This novel was not written to be a strong literary work however it is meant to be a potent work of occult fiction. I would advise the reader (or any inexperienced initiates) who may be sensitive to this type of content be well grounded whilst reading the second half of the novel. The novel also contains some explicit language. This novel is the first of a trilogy that follows the character Meredith Moon on a journey into the realm of the occult. Meredith has no idea that she is naturally shamanic and fears she may be loosing her mind as she experiences a psychologically intense natural initiation process. It is set in the Celtic backdrop of the Welsh valley's.
