I dedicate this book to the pioneers and modern-day practitioners of sex magick, and to those of you who have broken social and self-imposed limits in order to take a leap of faith into the power and spirituality that is the focus of this book.

I would also like to deeply thank all those people who made this book possible, especially the powerful women magicians who have allowed me to print their words.

Finally, I would like to thank Ms. Nancy Peters for her valuable comments while reading the manuscript, helping me to clarify my ideas, and being a second pair of eyes during proofing and editing.

f you picked up this book looking for information on "the magic of sex," I'm afraid I must disappoint you: this book is not what you're looking for. If you're hoping to find ways to enhance your sex life, a book filled with new sexual positions or ways to have multiple orgasms or orgasms that last for hours, you'll have to look elsewhere.

There are so many books with information on how to enhance your sex life that another would be redundant. Even so, you can be sure that a few dozen such books will appear each year. Each of them offers the "ultimate sexual experience" or "sex beyond your wildest dreams." Of course, if any of them gave methods or techniques that actually worked there wouldn't be a need for the others.

These books have one thing in common. They look at the body as if it were a machine. In doing so they ignore or at best give minor lip service to the spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects of sex.

This is a complete turnaround from the "marriage manuals" published in the 1800s and early 1900s. Those books frequently said little about the physical act of sex and focused instead on spiritual or emotional needs. Those marriage manuals, due to their totally inadequate information on the physical act of sex, likewise failed to achieve their avowed goal of teaching the secrets of marital satisfaction.

As with most things, the answer to the failures of these two approaches lies in history. The spiritual system in many ancient societies acknowledged the existence of body, mind and spirit. Although they could be examined separately, it was understood that these three aspects of human reality were completely interrelated. The notion that these actually could be separate was a bizarre concept. At best it was but a minor aspect of Aristotelian philosophy-until the birth of the Christian religion.

With Christianity, for the first time, a spiritual system not only saw the mind, body and spirit as separate, but also decided that among those things which made up a human, spirit was the most important. Some Christians would mortify the body in the hope of exalting the spirit. This led to groups such as the flagellantes who would not merely mortify the body, but would beat themselves in order to show how unimportant the body was. Even today there are some cultures where a major event at the Christian celebration of Easter, in imitation of the story of Jesus, is the actual crucifixion of a number of men. (I would add that in many of the earlier cultures it would be correct to say that people saw themselves as part of a mind-body-spirit-environment matrix, and to damage the physical world would be tantamount to damaging themselves. This attitude, too, was changed by Christianity which didn't even take the physical world into consideration.)

The notion of viewing the body, mind and soul as separable, identifiable entities has permeated much of Western civilization. It seemed quite logical to our forebears to write of sex by only discussing the spiritual and emotional experience-what else of importance was there?

It frequently takes time for personal ethics to catch up with society. In Western civilization, perhaps the biggest societal change since the beginnings of Christianity occurred in the eighteenth century and was known as the Enlightenment. This movement emphasized the use of reason to scrutinize previously accepted doctrines and traditions. It brought about many humanitarian reforms. It also stretched the narrow link between what could be seen (the physical) and what could not be seen (the spiritual). Unlike Christianity, the rationalists of the Enlightenment-in part as a response to the Christian world view of the time-began to exalt the measurable physical and material over the unmeasurable soul. This attitude helped trigger the industrial revolution, laissez faire free market economies, Communism, Socialism and even the current trend of "psychic debunkers" who have misappropriated the word "skeptic" to describe themselves. The materialistic revolution of the past two centuries has reached its logical end and now sees even the human body as nothing more than a machine. Even consciousness and emotions are described as mere "chemical reactions." It has become quite logical to write books about sex that only talk about physical positions and techniques.
