I was reading Dion Fortune´s "Psychic Self-Defence" in which came a paragraph that caught my particular attention, followed by a brief experience of hers. The paragraph reads as follows:

"There is a very curious aspect of the occult field concerning which something must be said in the present
pages, though not a great deal can be revealed, and, to be frank, I do not know a great deal about it
myself, but only such aspects as I have actually come across. I have always heard it called the Occult
Police; others may know it by different names but I believe it to be a very real and concrete thing, though
its organisation is not upon the physical plane, nor, so far as I know, are its mundane activities gathered
up into any single pair of hands. I have crossed its trail upon a number of occasions, and played my part
in its activities, and I have talked with others who have also been concerned in it, and they have always
said as I do, that it is the inner voice and circumstances alone that direct our activities when we
co-operate with this mysterious organisation."

It caught my attention because I have heard of the Occult Police but always (mis) took it for a joke. Oh dont tell anyone or ill be in trouble with the occult police and such.
Then Dion Fortune came into my life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I also read, in the same book, that there are certain lodges called Hunting Lodges in which the purpose of the group is to stop the wrong doings of Black Lodges and that the Hunting Lodges have some sort of link or direct connection to the Occult Police.

So I was wondering, is there such a thing as "Occult Police"? What are your experiences with this organization if any? or just jot down your opinion about them.

Greetings!
To SPoison: Dion Fortune (aka Violet Firth) was one of the first female psychologists in the then mostly male field of Psychology. She was the founder of the Inner Light Society and was a member of a number of more popular occult lodges. She was a prolific writer on occult topics and alot of her work remains highly esteemed by occult practioners the world 'round! She knows her stuff...I highly reccomend her work!


A general comment:
The idea of the Occult Police has occured due to a number of incidences sighted by various practioners and with the mystique engendered by the lodges themselves. Blavatsky was another who has hinted about such a 'group'. During the later eighteen hundreds and early 19 hundreds there was a massive upheaval in the European occult lodges. I'm sure that the story has its origins within those times. But even farther back there are myths and stories that allude to mysterious saviour-like beings that come to mans rescue in the hour of need. Look at your religous dogma etc. for these hints.
I have had a few brushes with some mysterious group/force in my lengthy meanderings within the occult community. 'Occult Police'? Who knows. Keep a pragmatic approach not a scoffing one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/diablo.gif)

Rest in Peace Bym.
