This book takes Aleister Crowley's sex magick teachings (his personalized amalgamation of Tibetan and Indian Tantra) and removes all the alchemical metaphors and triple hidden meanings that make Crowley so inscrutable for many...

This book was a joy to read and is very straight forward. The words are not old or complicated, it is easy to read. I am was never an A+ english student, but I never had any diffulculty in reading the book. The first chapter was only 3 pages (not including the introduction), I can't believe anyone could stuggle though it (maybe english is their second language?). He explains the degrees very well and gives you all you need to know to perform the degrees. It made me very excited about reading the second chapter (about the second degree) and each chapter kept me hooked. At the back of the book is he encoroates the I CHING (YI KING)into sex magic. Complete with meanings of each of the 64 trigrams and a timetable with times corresponding to each trigram. I Highly Recommend this book!

I love books on this subject matter, however with this book it was a strugle to even reach the end. Starting with chapter 1, the big words and boredom kept me from finishing this book for months. Although there are a few good parts, I was definatly not impressed as a whole. I would steer clear of this book as a guide for anyone new in the ways of Magick. But heh thats just my opinion.
