Product Information

I think it is also safe to assume that given she was naked on an exposed mound in the middle of November, regardless of her mental state or perhaps because of it, that she succumbed to exposure/hypothermia. It was later found that Netta had packed a ton (not literally) of luggage, so was seemingly planning to stay for quite a while. Despite having made no arrangements for accommodation, she brought with her numerous trunks and enough furniture to fill a cottage. Although close by, the village was fairly inaccessible, and Netta had never visited it on her walks before.

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.This common theme has been a driving factor in the continuing propagation of one of the 1920’s most famous mysteries, when a young woman, seeking the entrance into another realm, was found dead on an isolated Scottish island and a series of links were uncovered, tying her to some of the ages most infamous occult societies. She had confided with Mrs MacRae that prior to visiting the island she had gone into a trance that lasted a week, which of course alarmed the islander. Originally published in January 2022 as "The Immortal Hour," this updated edition delves into the life, beliefs, and ultimate fate of Norah Fornario. As I’ve said before, Netta was the kind of person who would have seen signs and portents in everything, she may well have come to believe that somebody was out to get her.

It wasn’t until the 19th of November that her black-caped body was discovered by two local men, Hector MacLean of Sligneach and Hector MacNiven of Maol Farm. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Death on Iona" sifts through the evidence and examines the many theories to uncover the truth behind Norah's untimely demise. In real life, Netta Fornario was a member of the Golden Dawn successor organization Alpha et Omega and a close colleague of Dion Fortune.

The fact that the same day Netta was acting erratic, scared and wanted to leave in a hurry could certainly lend some creedence to that theory. This may indeed be a case of a young woman, ignorant of the deadly effects of high winds and freezing temperatures, becoming lost and confused during a dark night on an isolated Scottish island.

Also, the picture usually associated with her ( Picture associated with Netta) in almost all the online articles I came across, doesn't seem to actually be here.

The Scotsman, 27th November 1929, said - “This “alien” woman, who dressed in the fashion of the Arts and Crafts movement – with a long cape and hand-woven tunic – settled into the house of someone only known as Mrs MacRae. When she had left London it had been late August/early September, but now it was November, the nights were long and dark, the prospect of spending the entire winter on the island, with nothing to do but stalk its bracing, windswept beaches and hills, must have been daunting. Netta became interested in the island of Iona after reading a story by her favorite author, William Sharp, describing the area around Loch Staonaig where the fairies roam free. Mrs Cameron was to say subsequently that Netta appeared to have been through a terrible ordeal; she had visibly aged and there was a haunted faraway look in her eyes.We see everything through the eyes of Doctor John Tyler as he inserts himself within the tense circle of Ruth and Netta’s relationship. Moriarty was a Freemason who also practiced esoteric and ceremonial magic in the vein of the Theosophy movement, which (oversimplified) is a blend of eastern and western mysticism.
