Psychology - Sexuality

Available for the first time in English, ADVANCED SEX MAGIC illuminates the revolutionary occult teachings of Maria de Naglowska - Russian mystic, esoteric high priestess and self-styled 'Satanic Woman' of 1930s Paris. Her religious system, called the Third Term of the Trinity, considered the Holy Spirit (or Wholesome Spirit) to be feminine and taught the importance of sex for the regeneration of the world and the upliftment of humanity.

A complement to her The Light of Sex, this book on the hanging mystery initiation details her advanced teachings on the Third Term of the Trinity and the spiritually transformative power of sex and reveals the erotic ritual hanging and other sensory deprivation practices of her magical group, La confrérie de la Flèche d'Or [The Brotherhood of the Golden Arrow]. These advanced mystical sexual practices were required for initiation into the brotherhood and, as Naglowska shows, only through the union of the masculine and the feminine can we bring about a reconciliation of the light and dark forces in nature.

Sex magic allows us to tap in to the most abundant power source available: sexualenergy. Magicians, shamans, and fakirs throughout history have used physical stimulationand ritual to harness sexual energy, unlock inner states of consciousness, andactivate the ability to influence their surroundings. While pleasure is often the focusof this stimulation, pain is just as effective, if not more so.
Combining both pleasure and pain, the sadomasochistic practice of CarnalAlchemy offers a powerful tool for self-transformation and the realization of magicaland spiritual aims. Authors Stephen and Crystal Dawn Flowers explain the sadomagicalworkings of Carnal Alchemy from both the perspective of the submissive partneras well as the dominant. They detail the 6 major techniques of sadomasochisticstimulation—bondage, flagellation, piercing, penetration, clamping, and heat/cold—and how they can be combined with sexual stimulation for magical purposes. Theytrace the roots of the BDSM tradition in ancient pagan rites of passage, in indigenousshamanic rituals, and through historical figures who used this form of sexuality intheir magic and philosophy, from the Marquis de Sade to more modern exemplarssuch as Aleister Crowley, Ernst Schertel, and Anton LaVey.
This guide also covers specialized furniture and tools and the decor of “theChamber” to trigger states of consciousness in which the Sado-Magician can effectivelyexpress his or her will.

The widespread turmoil that shook Western Europe as it entered the new millennium with the year 1000 prompted a vast reevaluation of the chief tenets of society. Foremost among these was a new way of looking at love and the place held by women in society. A new perspective one in which women enjoyed a central role as the inspiration for all male action replaced the Christian-inspired tradition that at best viewed women with contempt-and often with outright fear and loathing-. For several hundred years courtly love with its emphasis on adultery carnal pleasures and the power of the feminine dominated European culture despite its flouting of conventional Christian morality. Medieval historians by and large have tended to regard courtly love as a sterile parlour game for the upper classes. On the contrary Jean Markale shows that the stakes were much higher : the roots of the ritual re-created here go all the way back to the great mother goddess. In addition the platonic nature attributed to these relationships is based on a misunderstanding of courtly love. Underneath the refined poetry of the troubadours' verses flourished a system of sexual initiation that rivalled Indian Tantra. ¨ Debunks the myth of the platonic nature of courtly love showing the many sexual similarities to the tantric practices of India.
