About this title

Synopsis

This is the long awaited classic by the mysterious 19th century Adept, Pascal Beverly Randolph, credited with being the first overt spokesman in the west for the ancient sexual gnosis, hidden for centuries in many layers of symbolism. He lifted the veil from this knowledge and taught it to the members of his Brotherhood of Eulis, by means of this book and personal instruction. His teachings were powerful influences on the founders of both the Golden Dawn and the O.T.O., as well as a host of other occultists throughout Europe and America.

Randolph's life is shrouded in mist and shadow, as he moved wraithlike through the courts, capitals and lodges of the western world. Friend and confidant of Kings, Presidents and Magi, his life and legend are reminiscent of the Count de St Germaine.

His published writings include many volumes. Yet there is a sense of disguise in all that he wrote, as if he were concealing a secret. That secret is finally available in English. Previously limited to sixty copies, privately passed to members of his Order, Sexual Magic is his greatest and most revealing work.

Sensitively translated, with an excellent biographical sketch by Robert North, this is one of the most important publishing events in the magical literature of this decade.
