Psychic Self-Defense is a book by Dion Fortune, first published in 1930. Written by one of the twentieth century's better-known practitioners of the Western esoteric tradition, the book presents a clear, practical manual for recognising, understanding and protecting oneself from hostile psychic influences. Fortune blends case anecdotes, psychological insight and ritual techniques to map out how attacks may arise (from personal emotional states, from other people, or from malign external entities) and how disciplined mental hygiene, shielding practices and focused ritual work can restore balance and safety. Grounded in the ceremonial-magical and theosophical milieu of its author, the text remains widely read by occultists, spiritual seekers and those interested in energy-work or psychic protection. Its tone is both didactic and cautionary: Fortune argues that ordinary people can be vulnerable without training, and she offers step-by-step exercises and diagnostic signs to help readers recognise the difference between natural illness, psychological disturbance and genuine psychic interference. Because of its practical emphasis and accessible style, the book has influenced later guides to psychic hygiene and is often recommended in discussions of occult self-protection and ritual practice.
