Randolph was a pioneering practitioner of sex magic and believed that the procreation of the species was a natural miracle, that love was the universal law of the cosmos and the sex act between a man and a woman could open up the way to the attainment of altered states of consciousness and the experience of other realities. Recommended. --The Cauldron, December 2012

This undisputable classic of the occultist movement is now available in a reliable English translation. The pioneering importance of Paschal Beverly Randolph is well known since John Patrick Deveney's great monograph of 1997, but Maria de Naglowska remains largely unknown. Magia Sexualis should be an incentive for further investigations into one of the most mysterious personalities in the history of sexuality and its multiple liaisons with esotericism and the occult.

Author Information

Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-1875) was an African American doctor, Rosicrucian, and occultist who introduced sex magic to North America. The founder of the Brotherhood of Eulis and a known occult rival of H. P. Blavatsky, he authored several books, including Eulis: The History of Love. Maria de Naglowska (1883-1936) was a Russian occultist, mystic, and founder of the Brotherhood of the Golden Arrow, whose conferences in Paris in the 1930s were attended by many now famous avant-garde and notorious writers and artists, such as Julius Evola, Man Ray, and André Breton. Donald Traxler is both a translator and student of the occult. He lives in Martinez, California.
