Sex Magick, the practice of utilizing sexual energy and sacred sex rituals as a potent force to reach higher states of consciousness, has been cloaked in secrecy for centuries. Some scholars believe that the practice can be traced back to Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and was later passed down as a Secret Doctrine through many esoteric orders, from the Knights Templar to the Rosicrucians, the Freemasons, and finally the O.T.O. 20th century English occultist, mystic, ceremonial magician, and O.T.O. leader Aleister Crowley believed that sexual magick was the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. He dedicated the entire second half of his life to exploring its mysteries. Sex Magick presents the bulk of Crowley's written works on the subject including: The Gnostic Mass, Energized Enthusiasm, Grimorium Sanctissimum, Star Sapphire, Liber Ash, Liber Chath, and Liber Stellae Rubeae. "Sex Magick," is the third volume in Weiser's "The Best of the Equinox" series, curated by scholar and U.S. Deputy Grandmaster General of the O.T.O., Lon Milo DuQuette, offers the best of Crowley's material from both in-print and out-of-print sources.

Writings of British mystic Aleister Crowley on occult practices influenced the development of Neopaganism, various religious movements that arose chiefly in the United Kingdom and the United States in the late 1900s and that combine worship of pagan nature deities, particularly of the earth, with benign witchcraft. Born Edward Alexander Crowley, this mountaineer, philosopher, and poet joined as an member in several organizations, including the Golden Dawn, the A∴A∴, and Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), and people best know today especially his The Book of the Law , the central sacred text of Thelema. Infamously dubbed "the wickedest man in the World," he gained much notoriety during his lifetime. Crowley additionally played chess, painted, experimented with drugs, criticized society and practiced astrology, hedonism, bisexuality. Crowley also claimed a Freemason, but people dispute the regularity of his initiations with the United Grand Lodge of England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleiste...
