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.

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.

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!

As a beginning wiccan I think this book is really powerful. I picked it up after I read another book by the same author called A Witch Like Me. That was a good book too. I've tried a lot of the techniques in Love, Sex, and Magick and they are incredibly powerful. It's sort of an West mated with East kind of sex magic that really works.

first of all if all you are interested in is how to "score" then dont buy this book, its for the serious practioners of magick and who want to learn about sex magick, its not for people who want to know how to get a guy or gal into bed, and its for adults not teenagers either, and some cases preteens, okay i am only 18, but i am not gonna practice any sex magick for a few years, but i have a great interest in it, this book has an excellent appendix too, its very excellent for anyone wanting to practice sex magick or like me :) just learn about it
