From ancient temple dwellers to modern urban residents, priests,
poets and people from all walks of life have looked to sexuality to
aid them in connecting with the Divine. In a subject previously
obscured by foreign terms and deliberate 'blinds' for the
uninitiated, Ecstatic Ritual offers the reader clear, concise
exercises and ritual forms which comprise a full understanding of
sacred and magical sexuality. Heterosexual, gay and lesbian
magicians, in couples or singly, explore a magical system which
methodically explains the worship of and union with the Divine in
each person. This updated second edition includes expanded
material, a new introduction by the author, an annotated
bibliography and an index.
Lies, truth, deceit, love, hatred, anger and coming to terms with
self-identity and sexuality are all captured in this spell binding
book. The characters in this novel somehow relates and speaks to us
all in one way or another. You won't be able to close this book
until you have read from cover to cover!

I used to wonder why I always seemed to live in a haunted house no
matter where I moved. The truth of the matter though was that while
some of the houses were haunted, it was by and large me. From a
very early age I knew I was not like others and everywhere I went I
saw and experienced things that most people never did. This is the
story of my paranormal life and how eventually I began to see that
what others viewed as paranormal was just normal for me.
Magical cultures like all communities encode expectations about
gender. Women are witches; men are magicians. Women use receptive
energy, men use active energy. Intuitive women embody the moon,
focus on dreaming and enjoy making things, while intellectual men
embody the sun, focus on accomplishment, and enjoy doing ritual.
The essays in this book explode gender stereotypes and survey the
spectrum of women's experiences in magic. Women are witches, but
also ceremonial magicians, Satanists and sex magicians. Women
dream, use intuition and make magical tools but they also argue,
create ritual, and fiercely contest their right to achievement. In
these essays, pregnancy is an occasion for analysis, alchemy exists
in the lab and in the kitchen, desire is a path to self-knowledge,
and gender itself is a door to the deep contemplation of the
meaning of magic. In this book women's voices whisper their secret
experiences, narrate lives of women magicians in the past, speak of
the usual and the unusual, roar their triumphal discoveries, and
sing the joy of life.
