Introduction There are different ways to effectively write non-fiction books. Some people see where a book would fill a need, do a lot of research, and write a book to fill that need. You can usually tell this type of author because their books cover an amazingly wide range of topics. I have a lot of admiration for people who choose to do this. The work they do to discover, assemble, and present the information can be invaluable. It's just not my way.

In a post on a private, sex-positive forum, a person whom I’ll call EW asked about the difference between Sacred Sexuality and Sex Magick.

I've been receiving lots of wonderful feedback on the new edition of Modern Magick. I'm grateful for all feedback. I'd like to mention one review that appeared in one of my favorite e-zines, "Hermetic Virtues."
