Overview
Often described as Western Tantra or sex magick, Polarity Magic recognises that the most effective starting point for magic is in the fundamental energies exchanged between men and women. Explore here polarity magic theory and applications of priest/priestess workings as performed by ancient historical and mythological couples: Isis and Osiris, Arthur and Gwenevere, Akhenaten and Nefertiti, even Jesus and Mary Magdalene. This book includes examples of sympathetic reconstructions of their magical rituals.

Author Information
Wendy Berg (England) is a direct recipient of the branch of the Western Mystery Tradition that comes, via Dion Fortune and Gareth Knight, from the nineteenth century Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Gareth Knight was trained in the Society of the Inner Light which was founded by Dion Fortune following her own Golden Dawn training. He founded his own Lodge (known outwardly as The Gareth Knight Group) in the early 1970s. Wendy joined that Lodge after Mike Harris; Wendy was previously a prominent figure in the burgeoning British Wiccan movement of the time. Wendy was a member of the original Company of Hawkwood, that loose knit but influential magical association convened and presided over by Knight in the early 1980s. Members of that Company came to comprise the foremost practitioners and commentators of the present generation of initiates of the Western Mystery Tradition, including Dolores Ashcroft Nowicki, R.J Stewart, Marion Green and John and Caitlin Matthews amongst its number.
