In plain, straightforward language, Jason Newcomb, author of 21st Century Mage and The New Hermetics , tackles a subject that many magical texts gloss over or ignorethe practice of sex magick. Sexual Sorcery covers the many aspects of using sex as a sacrament, a ritual, or an expression of divine love. It also provides plenty of practical information helpful to any modern sexual sorcerer. Sexual Sorcery includes preliminaries to practice, such as how to broach the subject of sex magick with a partner (or how to find a partner), explanations of sexual technique as well as etiquette and energy, and the value of love in any relationship, especially a sexual relationship incorporating magick. From this base, Sexual Sorcery delves into the various techniques, types, and rituals of sex magickusing magick to enhance sex, ecstatic and mystical experiences during sex, and more esoteric techniques of sexual invocation, evocation, and alchemy. Newcomb defines a sorcerer as a solitary magician who is outside any particular faith or group, unbounded by the prohibitions of an order or coven, and able to explore the furthest realms of a subject without restriction. In this case the subject is sex magick, and Sexual Sorcery is the perfect guide for any 21stcentury sexual sorcerer. It follows no one particular traditional path, but incorporates what works from other esoteric sexual practices.
This book was a great source of information. Newcomb is easy to read while explaining processes and rituals that can be difficult to understand. He simplifies the information to fit a modern context and language and makes it easy to read.
There is no ick factor while reading this, I feel he was very respectful while speaking about sex and the sexual act, while still being explicit enough to explain what needs to be explained.
My one hiccup if you can call it that was there was a lot of technical information in this book and perhaps not enough of how and why you would use it. There is some, but I would have liked to learn more.
