Modern Sex Magick: Secrets of Erotic Spirituality

This is a great book. The first chapter on history of sex magick gives a great esoterical insight into the secrets of Kabbalah. You will find it the nHoliest of Holy and know this is your hand book to reach such a thing. It's suitable for beginners.

I am very impressed with this book! I found "Modern Sex Magick" very difficult to put-down. I am a little surprised that certain sections are espoused as more controversial than others (e.g., Polyamorous Sex Magick being more controversial than Homosexual Sex Magick)--however, society is weird like that.... Regardless, the material in this book would be quite useful to nearly anyone--not just Magickians or sex magick practitioners.Personally, I learned a lot about Sex Magick from this individual's research of the subject. The author helps dispel many of the rumors and much of the disinformation about the practice of sex magick. I did not read about the subject for many years, due to misinformation from an organization I formerly studied with (and the silly claims against Sex Magick, in the back of the original "Light of Egypt" books associated with that organization), so this subject is new to me--although "Sex" and "Magick" separately are quite familiar subjects.Considering the fact that I have experienced some indoctrination against the practice of Sex Magick, I truly enjoyed the author's honest, helpful attempt to reveal the truth about Sex Magick and also give other perspectives (e.g., from various women involved in the practice), by including essays from other practitioners, instead of just espousing one theory or perspective on the subject.I found the rituals to mostly follow the same, basic format, but the book is very interesting and very informative--especially, for a person just beginning to research this system of Magick. The book is well-illustrated, comprehensive and full of common sense applications of different styles of Sex Magick (including safe explanations and illustrations of S & M practices). It is obvious that the author made a great effort to fully explain the material, instead of leaving the safety of the reader in question.Having previously studied much in the areas of; sex, magick, polyamorous relationships, etc., I had to give this book a good review and will also place it on my "Polyamory, "Open Relationships" & New Age Sexuality" Listmania list.I also recommend this book to Thelemites.

Don Kraig's balanced and informative book is required reading for anyone seriously interested in the fascinating topic of sex magick (note the final Crowleyan `k' ). Be warned, though, that this is not sex as we know it, but a sublime experience in which eroticism and spirituality are magnificently fused. Kraig's is the best guide yet to the highest and most powerful form of magic there is, which also easily the most fun to do. A book that goes splendidly against the grain of two millennia of christian-patriarchal indoctrination.

As the owner of a Sex Magick forum, and a Sex Magick Practioner for many years, I HIGHLY recommend Modern Sex Magick : Secrets of Erotic Spirituality by Donald Michael Kraig. The book is concise, very easy to read and understand, written with objectivity and vast knowledge and the one of the best things is~~the rituals REALLY WORK. Three Thumbs Up! Raziel
