About this title

Synopsis

The Tree of Ecstasy looks at how sex was inseparable from religion in the ancient world and generally seen in a positive light until Christianity put a curse on the flesh and perverted the expression of the sex instinct. The author outlines practices and advice for the rituals based on the Tree of LIfe from the Kabbalah emphasizing that the book is for committed partners. This is advanced magic and not for the beginner.

From the Back Cover

Sex is a creative energy and a vital part of all life, yet it has traditionally been a taboo subject in which ignorance is believed to be the path to virtue. In magical teaching, however, sex occupies an honored place, although even here its use and existence are often misunderstood, even forgotten. In this book, a practicing ritual magician presents the history of sexual magic, from its sacred beginnings in ancient times to its current usage by modern occultists. Discover why sex and religion are inextricably linked, when women lost their power in the world and how they can regain it, and how sexual energies can be used for self-healing. Also provided are eleven sexual magic rituals based on the spheres of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. These rituals will help you to use the sexual experience in a balanced, harmonious, and reverent way. Each is an act of worship symbolizing the spiraling ascent toward the perfect union of male and female. The Tree of Ecstasy is a responsible working manual for anyone who wants to explore the practice of sexual magic for themselves and those they love.
