[edit] Objectivity

Please explain how a group called WikiProject Occult can be objective in spreading information about occult related topics. Your clear bias disturbs me because I don't believe that you will provide any objective material or discussion to Wikipedia. It also appears, in the Discussion history, that a Mr. Morgan Leigh is highly intolerant of different Points of View and insists on including information from a "book" about the so-called Magical Battle of Britain.

[edit] British/English/Welsh

I have changed the category back to British because that is the best explanation. Although Fortune was born in Wales, she was not Welsh. She was descended from mostly English stock but did live and work in many parts of Britain. Because of these links to several parts of the British Isles I think it is best to keep her in the British category.

I believe these categories are done by nativity. That is, their place of birth, not their racial heritage. The latter would be impossible. If she was born in Wales, then Welsh occult writers is the correct placement. —Hanuman Das 03:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Hanuman, I do see your point. Though I feel in this case it would be misleading, as most people know her as English/British and many do not know she was born in Wales. As a result of this they may not be able to locate her if she was only listed in the Welsh category. Can we perhaps have her in both the Welsh and the British categories?

[edit] Family motto or Golden Dawn motto?

I was under the impression that Deo, non Fortuna was her Golden Dawn motto (the name by which she was known in Alpha and Omega and Stella Matutina). I haven't got my books here, so I can't give a ref right now... Is the statement about her family motto wrong? Or did her GD motto come from her family motto? Or am I entirely wrong?

You are correct. The motto was the one she selected when she joined Stella Matutina. Adistius 19:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

It is also correct that it was the Firth familly motto. I have added the appropriate reference ot the page. Morgan Leigh 05:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
