I’ve started reading Katherine Kurtz’s “The Adept” series (see here, here, here, and here). It’s based on the Western Mystery Tradition, and is similar in “psychic feel” to the author’s “Lammas Night” (which led me to write this), so has what come across as strong Christian influences (although are intended to broader - closer to what Christ originally taught than the stale dogma now seen too much). As is fairly common with psychic novels, it also includes spectacular physical effects - effects that I have neither experienced nor know anyone else who has, and are irrelevant to my approach to psychic/spiritual matters (which is about personal growth - spectacular in its own way [then again, I count “Gandhi” as my favourite action film*]).
Still it is well written and entertaining, and worth considering (although the upper class lifestyle can be challenging - servants???).
A small note: I have started buying my e-books through Apple, rather than Amazon, and am still working out what I will do about links.
* Gandhi (who had his flaws - serious ones) changed during his life, from being committed to being part of the British Empire, to being resolutely pro-India alone - but without hating the British, and wanting to have good relations with the British after Indian independence (illustrated in the film “Gandhi” - which misses the flaws linked to above). Gandhi was “radicalised” by the slaughter of hundreds of peacefully demonstrating Indians at Amritsar - committed at the direction of the British occupiers of India.
