The Immortal Hour: The True Story of Netta Fornario

Product Information

She was going to very deep waters”, Dion wrote in Psychic Self-Defence “And there was certain to be trouble sooner or later”.

It’s never been entirely clear what Netta meant by that, but her housekeeper must have been used to her coming out with such things.

Her body was found on a Fairy Mound on the South of Loch Staonaig, Iona (see map below) in mid November 1929.

I think she did establish contact with another world”, he said, during his own investigation into the case. She studied in private girl’s schools until early adulthood, then studied abroad in Italy, taking advantage of her dual citizenship. A cross had been cut into the turf with a dagger (which was found nearby) and Netta’s body was lying on top of it.

A melting pot bubbles with conspiracy theories, tales of psychic attacks and a young woman supposedly losing her mind amidst a whirlwind of spiritual activity.

Dion actually went further and accused Moina Mathers, leader of the Alpha et Omega Temple (following her husbands death) of the murder of Miss Fonario through psychic attack. Although the details surrounding her death are unsubstantiated and cannot be verified due to lack of information, it makes for a fascinating story, nonetheless. Netta’s own affiliations would remain murky beyond AO, though considering her and Fortune’s common background and study interests, it may be reasonably assumed that they remained close.

After several hours, she came back out and calmly announced to MacRae that she had changed her mind and would be staying on Iona. As the island didn't have a coroner, a local with some medical experience tried to establish a cause of death.
