Critics Review

“Sex Magicians is a very useable overview and an enticing introduction to the world of psychosexual theory and practice. De nitely a must-read for anyone interested in the mystery of mysteries: how primordial biological energy can be put to great and re ned creative use.” * Carl Abrahamsson, author of Occulture. *“As a female-identifying practitioner, I’m fascinated by female identity and sex magic / eros in relationship to magic and gender, specifically female eroticism and occultism. I’m a student of my body in this way. Ecstatic personal rites and experiences are fascinating to me, as is the sovereign tantric path of sexual tantra and sacred sexuality. What struck me most in reading this book was the singular path each magician discovered, having developed their own lexicon, practice, and walked their own oft misunderstood path to illumination. Sex magic is a living tradition, as is magic, one that requires a certain diablesse and courage. Anyone who is interested in – or practicing – at any level– will enjoy this benchmark book. West gives context, but the text also instigates in its own way an inner journey for the reader to contemplate what to take from the past, what to leave behind, and perhaps where their own sovereign journey will bring them.” * Kat Grasso, Musing Mystical *
