A step-by-step guide to the occult science of sex magic
• Based on the practices of P. B. Randolph, occult rival of H. P. Blavatsky
• Reveals how to perform sex magic rituals for specific real-world results, such as greater strength or enhancement of the senses
• Explains how to create magical talismans, such as rings with specific planetary forces, how to enliven a painting, and how to charge an effigy
Conceived by Paschal Beverly Randolph, Magia Sexualis has been heralded as the most influential book about sex magic ever written, surviving to the present day solely through Maria de Naglowska’s French translation. Published more than 50 years after Randolph’s death, the authorship of this “translation” has been repeatedly called into question: While the greater part of the content can be traced to Randolph’s known works, a very significant portion cannot--leading to the conclusion that this work was supplemented by Naglowska’s own sex magic work and extensive occult teachings.
Magia Sexualis explains Randolph’s meticulous science of sex magic, practiced by the Brotherhood of Eulis and the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light. Beginning with exercises to develop essential skills, the book explains in step-by-step detail how to perform sex magic rituals for specific results, such as greater strength or enhancement of the senses, how to charge and use a “volt”--an effigy of a specific person you want to influence or protect, how to enliven a painting in order to influence those around it, and how to create magical talismans with specific planetary forces, using what Randolph calls “fluid condensers.” This work from two great occult minds shows that true power of the spirit is acquired in conjunction with the power of sex--affirming that “sex is the fundamental force in every being, the most powerful force in Nature, and the most characteristic evidence of God.”

Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-1875) was an African American doctor, Rosicrucian, and occultist who introduced sex magic to North America. The founder of the Brotherhood of Eulis and a known occult rival of H. P. Blavatsky, he authored several books, including Eulis: The History of Love. Maria de Naglowska (1883-1936) was a Russian occultist, mystic, and founder of the Brotherhood of the Golden Arrow, whose conferences in Paris in the 1930s were attended by many now famous avant-garde and notorious writers and artists, such as Julius Evola, Man Ray, and André Breton. Donald Traxler is both a translator and student of the occult. He lives in Martinez, California.
Reviews for Magia Sexualis: Sexual Practices for Magical Power
Randolph was a pioneering practitioner of sex magic and believed that the procreation of the species was a natural miracle, that love was the universal law of the cosmos and the sex act between a man and a woman could open up the way to the attainment of altered states of consciousness and the experience of other realities. Recommended. --The Cauldron, December 2012
