About the author
Ida Craddock
24 books17 followersIda C. Craddock was a forceful public exponent of women's rights and sexual freedom whose interest in Theosophy and Spiritualism led her into a profound involvement with the occult. Attacked by conservatives as promoting obscenity and immorality on account of her reforming activities, Craddock became the focus of an organised campaign of persecution. Facing a lengthy prison sentence that she did not expect to survive, she instead took her own life, at age forty-five.
After her death, Craddock's work on sexuality and occultism attracted the interest of a small number of well-known figures, including Aleister Crowley, who wrote that she possessed "...initiated knowledge of extraordinary depth. She seems to have had access to certain most concealed sanctuaries.... She has put down statements in plain English which are positively staggering."

Ida Craddock tunnetaan esoteerikkona, seksuaalimystikkona, naisten oikeuksien ja sananvapauden puolesta taistelijana, joka vaikutti Yhdysvalloissa 1800-luvun lopussa. Tuolloin hänen aviollista seksuaalisuutta käsitelleet julkaisut johtivat Craddockin saamaan vankeustuomioon, mutta hän päätyi ennen sen täytäntöönpanoa itsemurhaan.
Lukemani artikkelikokoelma sisältää kohutun teoksen The Wedding Night sekä postuumisti julkaistun artikkelisarjan Heavenly Brigedroom ja kaksi jäähyväiskirjettä ennen kuolemaa. Tuona aikana ihan Tolstoista lähtien oli suosittua pohdiskella avioliittoa ja aviollista seksuaalisuutta, vaikka yhteiskunta ei vielä ollut valmis laajemmassa mittakaavassa mihinkään seksuaaliseen vallankumoukseen saati sellaisten asioiden julkituomiseen kaiken kansan ihmeteltäväksi.
Kokoelman ehkä parasta antia ovat taivaallisia kumppanuuksia käsittelevä artikkelisarja, jos on kiinnostunut spiritualismista, teosofiasta ja ylipäätään okkultismista ja ikivanhoista myyteistä ihan Kaldeasta asti. Mukana on monia myyttejä, ja varsinkin Aatamin ensimmäinen puoliso Lilith näyttäytyy monipuolisena, sillä hänen myyttiään pohditaan monesta traditiosta käsin unohtamatta gnostilaisia kirjoituksia. Myös incubukset ja succubukset tuodaan esiin eri näkökulmista, kun ruoditaan enemmänkin seksuaalisuuden fyysisiä puolia, eikä ruusuristiläisten ajatteluakaan skipata, ja myös hermetismiä löytyy, unohtamatta atzteekkien tai Intian myyttiperinnettä.
Jumaluuksien ja ihmisten välisistä rakkaussuhteista ja niihin liittyvistä myyteistä riittää pohdittavaa ihan Platonista ja Pythagoraasta lähtien, ja käsittelyä syvennetään niin itämaisen filosofian (Lao Tse) ja Väli-Amerikan myyttiperinteen avulla. Varsinkin loppupuolella korostuu hinduajattelu ja illuusio Mayasta.
