Product Description
Synopsis
A Classic Study of Sexuality and Magic; Back in print for the first time in 30 years; When the late, respected British author Francis King first published Sexuality, Magic and Perversion in 1971, the sex cults and fetishistic practices documented were extremely secretive, fearing that any publicity would result in their demise. King's remarkable investigation covers a significant turning point in our sexual history, a time when Tantric sex and the occult dimensions of sexuality were initially being discovered. Sexuality, Magic and Perversion is an amusing but serious examination of the origins and development of the secret traditions of sex. The book begins with the author's description of how his interest in sex cults was aroused by his meeting with a young witch who described to him a perverted ride by which she was initiated into a small occult group. King provides fascinating research into the inter-relationship between sexuality, perversion and magic - East and West, past and present - with clear descriptions of sex magic, left-handed Tantrism, Chinese sexual alchemy and initiates of Aleister Crowley's Order of Oriental Templars.
