The Immortal Hour: The True Story of Netta Fornario

Product Information

She found nothing odd in Netta’s appearance until she noticed that Netta’s shiny silver jewelry had completely tarnished to black overnight. The island is very small, with only a few residents who all know each other, and no one was found to be a suspect, leaving everyone wondering who could have done such a thing. Emma talks of Netta's fascination with the spiritual and occult and of the odd behaviour she displayed during her time on Iona. Also, worth mentioning, contrary to the coroner’s report, witnesses describe Netta’s feet as being scratched up, speculating that she had been fleeing barefoot over the rough terrain.

Netta was noticed to be missing on Monday morning and was eventually found the day after close to an ancient village ruined village she had expressed in interest in, but never visited.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.

There was a detailed 1955 account of Netta’s story by Alasdair Alpin MacGregor, who used the testimony of two Ionan-dwelling friends, Lucy Bruce and Iona Cammell, the latter of whom wrote an obituary for Netta in The Atlantis Quarterly.

When Aleister succeeded in disrupting the flow of power to the reproductions' grimoire bodies, Fornario and the others came apart and reverted to cards. We also hear of the peculiar scene where Netta was found, leading to further suspicion around occult practices. It was a sacred place for the ancient Celts and early Christians, where the Celtic Christian illuminated manuscript, the Book of Kells, was created.
