5.0 out of 5 stars AN OUTRAGEOUS LITTLE MASTERPIECE FROM HYATT & DUQUETTE, February 9, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Taboo, the Ecstasy of Evil: The Psychopathology of Sex and Religion (Paperback)
Robert Anton Wilson says of "Taboo"..."I assure you that what you are about to read is obscene, lewd, blasphemous, subversive, and very interesting, and that all right-thinking people will agree that it should be banned, bowdlerized, censored, suppressed, and burned by the public hangman...l think it is safe to predict that almost every organized group of idiots in this country will regard this book as extremely dangerous." Wilson is probably right, Taboo's challenge to unite sexual and religious practices probably won't go over well with the New Right. But for the rest of us, the authors present a roller-coaster of a read complete with case histories, theories, and secret sex rituals of interest to both "adepts' of esoteric sex cult societies as well as "ordinary" people. Full of interesting quotations and anecdotes from alchemists, sex magicians, and vampires--not to mention old Yawey himself--this is a fascinating a colorful work that seems predestined to upset many people in our sex-negative society. Those who believe that taboos are made to be broken, however, should find Taboo and enjoyable and entertaining read....Leticia Marquez, Magical Blend Magazin
