Tree of Ecstasy: An Advanced Manual of Sexual Magic

Nowicki has done it again. This time taking on sex as an esoteric form. The book covers sexual excercies for working partners.

The author is a leading occult writer and practitioner, from the esoteric group The Servants of the Light.Part 1 of this book looks at how sex was inseparable from religion in the ancient world and generally seen in a positive light.Then Christianity put a curse on the flesh and perverted the expression of the sex instinct.Part 2 outlines practices and advice for the rituals to come.Dolores emphasises that the book is for committed partners,not for those who just want to fool around.Part 3: the rituals are based on the Tree of Life from the qabalah.Each sephiroth or sphere/realm has its particular ritual and pathworking.In Malkuth or the Earth realm the man becomes Pan and the woman Syrinxe his priestess.In Netzach or Venus the man is Merlin and the woman is Nimue.This is advanced magic and not for the beginner.
