Review

Sirona Knight's Love, Sex and Magick, Exploring the Sacred Union Between Male and Female, is a concise guide for those couples ready to explore ways to reach new levels of intimacy and awareness in their relationships. Sirona provides clearly described exercises for partners to try at home, complete with appendixes of information and recipes you can use right away. Take a cue from the author to discover how to evolve your relationship from sensuous to sensitive to spiritual. Once you realize how the energy of your personal space sets the stage for your intimate relationships, you move on to merging your energies through the chakras. If you are ready to form a committed relationship, there is an example of a ritual presented from her Druid tradition. You really do discover how the power of two people joined together can become much more in all aspects of life. If this sounds complicated, it's not. The beginnings of deepening your relationship can be as simple as a deep breathing or visualization exercise. Sirona shows how the teachings of Hindus, Taoists and the Druids all share common elements and perspectives that serve to support enhanced intimacy through heightened energy awareness and activation. This insight itself will be refreshing to all those who have the impression that these are all borrowed from Eastern spiritual traditions. Western sexual spiritual traditions are just as deep and rewarding to those who take the time to examine Love, Sex and Magick. This manual can be a great gift to you and someone you care about. -- Dan Liss, Aquarius

1.0 out of 5 stars there's a lot better stuff out there, April 19, 2006

This review is from: Love, Sex And Magick: Exploring the Spiritual Union Between Male and Female (Paperback)

I haven't even finished this book, and already I'm trying to sell it. I find it nearly impossible to read, mostly due to rather poor research and vapid writing.

As examples of the former, she mixes up Hinduism and Buddhism (two very different paths). She talks about "Celtic" concepts of God and Goddess that are really Wiccan. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you, but trying to give an "ancient" sheen to new concepts is misleading. Quite frankly, we don't know if the Celts had any "tantric" sex practices; they didn't write anything down.

As examples of the latter, she opens her book with examples of great lovers in literature -- all of whom meet bad ends. Otherwise, she uses few examples in the book and instead glosses over topics with rather generic writing. She even goes in depth as to why one should want a good sex life -- which just gets silly. Interestingly, she seems loathe to use terms such as orgasm or masturbation, so one is left scratching one's head in an attempt to figure out her euphemisms, which all seem to involve the word "ecstasy."

A good half of the book consists of appendices. The actual text part is quite slim.

There are a lot better books on Tantra out there that you could buy. Most of the ritual stuff she includes, even a semi-skilled Witch could figure out for herself after reading a few good books on the Craft. Don't waste your time with this one.

This review is from: Love, Sex And Magick: Exploring the Spiritual Union Between Male and Female (Paperback)

Good source for love and sex rituals; in fact wish there were more. Some of the content tends to be repeated and is not in a logical order.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what you are looking for!, April 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Love, Sex And Magick: Exploring the Spiritual Union Between Male and Female (Paperback)

If you are interested in Sex Magick, this is probably what you are looking for. The author blends East and Western magickal traditions with love and sex to create one of the BEST approaches I have ever experimented with. NOT the dry guarbage created by perverts in the 12th century under Church oppression.

If you are interested in Sex Magick, this is probably what you are looking for. If you are looking for an excuse to masturbate or degrade your partner, look elsewhere!
