Dion Fortune

Through the Gates of Death

Through the Gates of Death is a book by British occultist Dion Fortune, first published in 1932. In this work, the author writes about how esoteric tradition sees life after death, offering a clear, concise guide that explains the stages a soul passes through, from this world to the next, in the process of dying. Fortune describes the necessary states of mind and actions that those closest to the dying should cultivate to speed and smooth the passing.
