About this deal

It is a tale that grips as it horrifies; fascinates yet simultaneously strikes at the fear inside of us all, that if we were to delve into the supernatural, it may show us where its allegiances lie, and destroy us entirely.

NETTA FORNARIO – DEATH BY PSYCHIC ATTACK? | sjhstrangetales NETTA FORNARIO – DEATH BY PSYCHIC ATTACK? | sjhstrangetales

These days we would think of Netta as a New Ageist, a hippy heavily into alternative healing and white magic. The woman’s body lay still atop a cross cut into the earth, naked except for a silver chain with a cross around her neck. This has been strongly disputed in recent times, and it is thought that Netta actually lodged with the Cameron family, staying in their attic.No police investigation was carried out as the presiding physician noted the cause of death as heart failure from exposure. She died on the island of Iona in Scotland in November 1929 under mysterious circumstances, with some other occultists claiming she was the victim of a spiritual attack and Dion Fortune blaming Moina Mathers (recently deceased). She was born in Cairo, Egypt in 1897, the daughter of Norah Edith Ling and Guiseppe Nicola Raimundo Fornario, an Italian doctor.

At some point after her death, Netta Fornario was reproduced along with other members of the Golden Dawn by Coronzon, through the application of Tarot-based grimoires, as part of her anti- Crowley countermeasures.But the part of the whole story which I’d like to know more about appeared in the Oban Times article (which I haven’t actually seen, but would like to).

Though they were law enforcement, the Scottish police may have been chilled by the fact that the body was found next to a fairy mound. Among weird stories now in circulation in island regarding Miss Fonario are mysterious remarks about blue lights having been seen near the body, and of a cloaked man. And now to the desecration of the Horus Temple in Godwin Street, Bradford, befitting this piece as the apparent humility of the physical may also experience such a fate.Mrs MacRae said that she did notice that Netta’s collection of silver jewellery seemed to have blackened overnight. During the Crowley's Hazard invasion of the United Kingdom, Fornario was among the reproduced members of the Golden Dawn who confronted Aleister Crowley in the graveyard of Westminster Abbey. In Scotland, some Gaelic speakers use machair as a general term for the whole dune system, including the dune ridge, while others restrict its use to the extensive flat grasslands inland of the dune ridge.

Several times she said she had been to the ‘far beyond’ and had come back to life after spending some time in another world. Thomas Pratt Ling, of Bracondale, Dorking, Surrey, aged seventy-four, tea merchant, who died in February. Crowley probably didn't bother banishing things from other realms that turned up, so they stayed put. Not until the afternoon did Hector MacLean, of Sligneach, and Hector MacNiven, of Maol Farm, find her. On the 18th of November, a member of the family knocked on her bedroom door but received no reply, so decided to enter the room.

Lochinver Village Hall has a history of bringing innovative drama to this remote north west community. Her bare feet were cut and bleeding, as though she had been running barefoot across the rough ground. Really: if you tell Fornario’s story like that, there doesn’t really seem to be any other route it could have taken.
