Book: Magia Sexualis: The Beast with Two Backs (2006)
by Hugh B. Urban "The whole trouble comes from humanity's horror of Love. For the last hundred years, every first-rate writer on morals has sent forth his lightnings and thunders, hailstones and coals of fire, to burn up Gomorrah and Sodom where Love is either shameful and secret or daubed with dug and sentiment." — ALEISTER CROWLEY, The Law Is for All "The point about Crowley is that he seems to contain all these sorts of ideas and identities—indeed, most of the vices of the twentieth … [Read more...] about Book: Magia Sexualis: The Beast with Two Backs (2006)

Book: Aleister Crowley & The Hidden God (1992)
Source: Aleister Crowley & The Hidden God by Kenneth Grant Introduction THIS BOOK contains a critical study of Aleister Crowley's system of sexual magick and its affmities with the ancient Tantric rites of Kali, the dark goddess of blood and dissolution represented in Crowley's Cult as the Scarlet Woman. It is an attempt to supply a key to the work of an Adept whose vast knowledge of occultism was unsurpassed by any previous Western authority.
