It's funny that you posted a picture of Dion Fortune today, because I was planning on asking you about her. I've been reading through her Mystical Qabalah lately, and something's nagging at me. It's a great book, don't get me wrong. But I find myself very annoyed with her claim that the gods don't exist, but are only (apparently mindless) forces which are caught by images created by human beings. The exception, apparently, would be the Jewish god and his angels. Did she actually believe this? It's one thing to claim that Apollo is no more a naked youth with a harp than Jehovah is a grumpy old man sitting on a cloud, but to claim that either or both of them are simply "creations of the created" is too much for me.
