Demons of the Flesh - The Complete Guide to Left Hand Sex Magic

(by Nikolas and Zeena Schreck)



Quote
Odd though it may seem considering Crowley's own unrestrained sexual appetite, the reportedly charismatic Smith's tendency to seduce almost every willing female member of the Lodge particularly rankled the Beast. One of the sisters of the Lodge whom Smith took as his mistress was Helen Parsons. This affair, true to the Thelemic injunction that "there shall be no property in human flesh" was engaged in with John Parsons' knowledge and agreement. The younger man viewed Smith as a paternal mentor - even as the "Avatar of a God" - and was loath to interfere with his True Will, even if his own marriage were to suffer as a consequence. This cultivated overcoming of societally conditioned sexual jealousy was part of Parsons' effort to liberate himself with the mores of his time and upbringing, and remained a central aspect of his approach to sex magic. But his tendency to be vulnerable to exploitation in this regard would prove to be a perilous theme in his abbreviated life. In any event, Parsons turned his amorous attentions to his wife's younger sister, Sara Northrup, known as Betty, who also joined the O.T.O.

It arrived! :jump:

I can highly recommend this book. The only shame is the low quality of the illustrations.

It's rather difficult to get it on the open book market, so I guess it's best to buy it 2nd hand. However, if you choose to buy it via Amazon Marketplace, make sure you don't get it from those transflux AT sbcglobal DOT net guys. My copy is badly bent and torn.
I just hate it when people treat books like that!  banned
