xxxuality and the occult arts have long been associated in the western imagination, but it was not until the nineteenth century that a large and sophisticated body of literature on xxxual magic--the use of xxx as a source of magical power--emerged. This book, the first history of western xxxual magic as a modern spiritual tradition, places practices in the context of the larger discourse surrounding xxxuality in American and European society over the last 150 years to discover how xxxual magic was transformed from a terrifying medieval nightmare of heresy and social subversion into a modern ideal of personal empowerment and social liberation.
Focusing on a series of key figures including American spiritualist Paschal Beverly Randolph, Aleister Crowley, Julius Evola, Gerald Gardner, and Anton LaVey, Hugh Urban traces the emergence of xxxual magic out of older western esoteric traditions including Gnosticism and Kabbalah, which were progressively fused with recently-discovered eastern traditions such as Hindu and Buddhist Tantra. His study gives remarkable new insight into xxxuality in the modern era, specifically on issues such as the politics of birth control, the classification of xxxual "deviance," debates over homoxxxuality and feminism, and the role of xxxuality in our own of post-modern spirituality, consumer capitalism, and the Internet.
