One of the most difficult aspects of magick is understanding that it is a science and an art. Since there is a scientific aspect to it there must be some presuppositions about magick that have acquired the quality of being rules or laws. In my Modern Sex Magick I describe what I contend are nine basic theorems of magick. These general rules are not sexually related. In my book I gave a list of other theorems specifically related to sex magick. What do you think of these? THEOREM ONE: All actions have magickal reactions. This means that everything you do, whether you are conscious of it or not, has a magickal reaction. Many people fail with magick because they do a brief ritual to

If you're more involved in what might be called popular New Age beliefs, you've probably heard that Tantra is about having long periods of ecstatic sex. Either way, Tantra is still "that sex stuff." If you're into sex stuff you've probably looked at the "pop" books on Tantra with cute names published by enormous super-publishers. Otherwise, chances are you've primarily avoided it. When I first started studying occultism I ignored Tantra for a different reason. I was simply following what I thought was my

You might be thinking that I have the title backwards. Surely I meant that I wouldn't have believed something if I hadn't seen it. Nope. The statement in the title is actually a quote from Marshall McLuhan, one of the world's greatest philosophers and multi-talented educators. The quote above clearly shows the way our mind works. If we don't believe in something, we're not going to see it.
