The story chronicles the unlikely partnership between Ted Murchison, a down-on-his-luck ex-soldier, and Ursula Brangwyn, a woman trapped under the sinister psychic influence of her manipulative brother, as they are guided by the enigmatic occultist Colonel Brangwyn toward spiritual liberation. Dion Fortune, herself a practicing occultist and founder of the Society of the Inner Light, weaves authentic ceremonial magic and Hermetic philosophy seamlessly into the narrative, giving the novel a rare authority that sets it apart from mere supernatural entertainment. The tone is at once atmospheric and instructive, presenting genuine esoteric principles — including the nature of psychic vampirism and the power of ritual — through the vehicle of a taut, character-driven thriller. Readers drawn to the intersection of mysticism, psychology, and early twentieth-century occult tradition will find this a richly rewarding and thought-provoking read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820236845275,"sku":"2026200006353-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/56b75964-2af1-4568-a7ec-c9ae07532104.png?v=1780055160","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006353-secondhand-the-winged-bull","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
