"This was part of Sappho's art, to give herself so completely in
lust and sweat and satisfaction, to allow herself to be contented
and dependent on her lover. ... She hadn't yet learned that this
art was a double-edged blade - one that would cut her again and
again. It would lend heat to her passion and poetry, and it would
eventually break her." Sappho, the lyric poet whose life and lovers
give us our current understanding of the word "Lesbian," was hailed
as the Tenth Muse on her island home of Lesvos and all throughout
Classical Greece. Her poems of passion and longing were directed at
the men ... and women ... whom she adored and sometimes envied.
Like most girls of Lesvos, Sappho lived a life among women. After
her earliest education, though, she rejects the traditional married
life and gives herself in service to the temple of Aphrodite to
become a priestess of love, beauty, and sexual ecstasy. Cloistered
among the sacred courtesans, she opens her heart and body to love.
But when Pittakos the tyrant and Alcaeus the poet vie with each
other to be first in her heart, will she lose herself and all that
she holds dear? Laurelei Black, who is herself a priestess of
Aphrodite, offers a unique and often erotic look into the
passionate, tumultuous, and inspirational life of Sappho through
the lens of service to the Goddess of Love.
The Lesser Key of Solomon the King, the Goetia, is one of the most
widely read (and feared) books known to today's magical
practitioners. It has been translated, edited, and commented upon
by some of the most illustrious Mages of the last two centuries.
THIS book is the first to address Witches in regard to the Legion,
and it is unique in its admonition of the spirit torture that has
been the hallmark of previous editions. Here, you will find a
reasonable, direct approach to working with the 72 spirits of the
Legion. The Witches' Key to the Legion includes several essays on
working with these spirits, discussions of the creation of the
Legion and their seals, a complete Demonic DO NOT CALL list, two
quick reference tables to help you easily find a spirit with whom
you have affinity, alternate sigils for most and illustrations of
several of the spirits, and updated descriptions of all 72 spirits
as provided by the spirits themselves.
