INTRODUCTION

ASOME readers, perhaps surprised by the dramatic title of this work, may ask themselves: "Sexual Magic? What kind of magic could this be? We had heard of natural magic, black magic, white magic and magic of various colors, but we had no news, not even remotely, of a magic related to the sexes...". - The surprise of our readers seems justified to us. For this reason, we believe it necessary to make an account, albeit fleeting, of the various kinds of magic that we have been talking about, which will allow us to duly justify the title of SEX MAGIC that we have given to our work and, in passing, to put a little order to the confusion that reigns among many authors regarding Magic and its various definitions.

What is Magic ?

Let us say, to begin with, that Magic represents the dawn of intelligence. In this case, more than in any other, the cliché "its origin is lost in the obscurity of time" is applicable. Indeed, it exists from the moment when man, detaching himself from his primitive animality, began to think and to sense the existence of an external world, of forces beyond his reach. Magic is, undoubtedly, of all times and of all countries of the world.

Antiquity of Magic.

In the most cultured nations of antiquity, it was held in great veneration, for constituting a sacred science in which were contained the religious and scientific beliefs, let us say so, of those remote civilizations. Thus, Magic was the first moral, religious and philosophical doctrine of Humanity.

Magic plays a great role in the Hebrew Bible. The inhabitants of Canaan had incurred the divine indignation, because they made use of enchantments. To the magic arts they resorted to defend themselves, and likewise the Amalekites, fighting the Hebrews when they left Egypt. The struggle of the magicians of Moses with those of Pharaoh; the pythoness of Endor, evoking the shadow of Samuel; Jesus accused of magic by the Jews, for casting out demons in the name of Beelzebub... are a small sample of the innumerable cases that are cited in Sacred Scripture in which Magic intervenes as a very important factor.

The antiquity of Magic is therefore obvious; therefore, it is very risky to specify the place and the time when it appeared on earth; however, historians who have paid attention to this point - especially Maury and Lenormant -, believe to be certain that the cradle of Magic was the most ancient Chaldea.

Magic has always been of great importance in India. The Vedas contain a good number of invocations of an esoteric character, and the laws of Manu indicate the various magical operations, the use of which is permitted or forbidden to a Brahmin.

In China, Black Magic was practiced by the priests themselves, who shamelessly sold all kinds of amulets and love filters to their parishioners.

If we look from the East to the West and North, we find Magic equally powerful and widespread. The writers of Greece and Rome speak of it as well; who is unaware of the importance and the increase that oracles, sibyls and pythonesses acquired in these cities?

The Egyptians, who constituted one of the most sincerely religious peoples, celebrated in their temples magical ceremonies, composed of solemn rites and magnificent chants raised to the divinities - Isis, Osiris, Râ -, as evidenced by the numerous wall inscriptions and the abundant papyri they have bequeathed us.

What great men think.

According to Plato "Magic consists in the worship of the gods", and Proclus, the great theurgist, has said : "When the ancient priests considered that there existed a certain alliance and mutual sympathy between natural things and between manifest things and occult powers, and discovered that all things subsist in everything, they founded from this mutual sympathy and similarity a sacred science : Magic. And they applied for occult purposes both the celestial and the terrestrial nature, thanks to which and by the effect of a certain affinity, they deduced the existence of divine forces in this terrestrial mansion."

Magic, according to Plotinus, "is the science of communicating with supreme and supramundane powers, that is, with entities of a higher plane, and also that of exercising dominion over the spirits that swarm in lower spheres". And Porphyry adds that "it is a practical knowledge of certain hidden spiritual forces of Nature, known to a few, by reason of being difficult to attain without running serious risks and without incurring great responsibilities, once they have been acquired".

Jamblichus, the greatest of the Neoplatonists, says that "they - the Theurgists - by means of their priestly science can go back to higher and universal Essences and to those who are above Fate, that is, to God and the Demiurge, without making use of matter or assuming anything else, except the observation of a reasonable time".

For the divine Paracelsus, "Magic is the highest power of the human spirit to govern all external influences with the object of doing good to his fellow men. The action of using invisible powers for selfish or reprehensible ends, is pure necromancy - black magic - because the elementaries of the dead are often used to exercise evil".

As we see, Magic, in its origins, constituted Science and Religion, intimately fused; its object was none other than to do good, and, therefore, only superior men - the priests - of perfect morality and vast knowledge could exercise it worthily. The philosophers of antiquity often testify to this.

But alas, all doctrines, whether philosophical, political or religious, however noble and lofty they may be, are corruptible, and there will always be persons or corporations interested in corrupting them, either for their annihilation or for other selfish ends. Thus, immaculate, pure and beneficial Magic, later degenerated into a detestable, filthy and evil practice: Sorcery.

Here is how Cornelius Agrippa, the most famous magician of the 16th century, expresses himself on the subject:

"Magic was considered by the sages of antiquity as the highest expression of wisdom, but certain false philosophers and enemies of the same, have had an interest in disfiguring it completely. And what have they left us of that sublime science? A lot of formulas to poison oneself and to procure lascivious dreams or terrifying visions; an extensive form of prescriptions to get in contact with the inferior spirits. That is why, as long as I live, I will fight against this false magic.

"The most sacred thing that man has is reasoning, by which he can rise to Truth and to God Himself, which is, precisely, the end of true Magic.

"Magic teaches us to agree our soul with the elements of Nature and, when possible, with the Whole. For that we have an enormous force, which is the Will, for with it we can do things so incomprehensible that the ignorant will take them for miracles.

"Thus I proclaim that Magic is the queen of all sciences and only honest men are capable of cultivating it."

(DR. G. MAXWELL: The Wonderful Secrets of Black and White Magic).

Magic and its detractors.

The Church, fierce enemy of Magic, did all it could, and did much, to discredit it, and relying on the existence of certain dastardly people who worked all sorts of evil using their psychic faculties, the sorcerers, in a word, condemned Magic, without making distinctions, and everything became, according to its closed criteria, condemnable witchcraft or black magic.

The vulgar and the learned accepted the ecclesiastical decision and, as the years went by, it crystallized so solidly that, even in our days, the word Magic is taken as a representation of something criminal or repugnant. On the other hand, we have the skeptics, the unbelievers, who smile scornfully at Magic, considering it as something unworthy of attention or as a ridiculous superstition, which could only cause fear to our poor grandparents, ignorant of the most elementary laws of Nature, et sic de coeteris.

And so we can read in the most modest dictionaries, as well as in those pompously called encyclopedic, a definition of Magic that generally begins as follows: "Science or art that teaches to do extraordinary and admirable things. It is usually taken in bad part. WHITE or NATURAL MAGIC: The one that by means of natural causes works effects so surprising that they seem supernatural. BLACK MAGIC: Superstitious and abominable art by means of which the vulgar believes that can be done, with the help of the devil, the most absurd things. THEORGICAL MAGIC : Religious practices of the Chaldean and Egyptian priests, by which they made the people believe that they conversed with the angels, etc., etc."

Anyone who does not feel a certain interest in Magic, after reading the definition given by the learned Corporations, forgers of dictionaries, will say to himself: "I thought so. Everything that is told about Magic is just a claptrap, stories for children or else tricks to deceive simple and credulous people".

The sages affirm the reality of Magic.

But Magic, for the men of science who have dealt with it1 , without prejudice of any kind, is not a vain superstition of the ancients, but a fully demonstrated truth, a whole scientific-philosophical system, endowed with sui generis procedures that make it reach the knowledge of extraordinary, unusual phenomena, which science does not yet explain in a satisfactory way, but which, however, there is the indisputable testimony of the facts and the evidence offered by the most scrupulous experimentation.

Magic is not," says Aymerich, "a chaotic set of fantastic theories, as its adversaries suppose and propagate, some, out of bad faith, and others, out of ignorance. Magic constitutes a body of doctrine of very ancient origin which, with the eternal rolling of the times, has been changing its aspect as it has acquired greater knowledge ; which has progressed, and progresses, step by step, sometimes with painful slowness, sometimes with feverish enthusiasm, always sure of the advantages of its method, which makes silence a powerful auxiliary of the free development of its teachings, and which seeks in the mystery of esoteric practices the serene stillness required by the laborious work of the adept."

Different names of Magic.

The ancients divided Magic into two parts of opposite character and conditions. The one was that which dealt with all beneficent action, that which was inspired by the noble idea of procuring some benefit to our fellow men, that which was launched into the highest initiatory studies, for which a scrupulous limpidity of sentiments was required. The other part constituted a set of procedures that facilitate the death of a person, without material risk for the murderer; terrible practices that arm the magician with deleterious powers to satisfy insane desires of revenge; satanic powers, in short, that allow him to satisfy with impunity the lowest and most repugnant passions. In the first part we have white magic, called Theurgy, whose name was given by Jamblichus; in the second, black magic or Goecia, so called for the first time by St. Jerome.

Theurgy also receives the names of High Magic, Divine Magic and Ceremonial Magic; Goecia is given the names of Sorcery, Witchcraft, Necromancy and some others of evil meaning. And they are, together, called cursed sciences, by the fanatics of the Church.

Divinatory Magic.

Moreover, each of these two great branches into which Magic is divided, is subdivided into others, and each of them receives a special name, by which its object is designated. Thus we have, for example, Divinatory Magic, which constitutes a very numerous family. We will only note the names of the best known branches: Arithmomancy (divination by numbers) ; Cartomancy (divination by cards) ; Crystalomancy (by the crystal ball) ; Caffeomancy (by the bagasse of coffee) ; Geomancy (by the cracks of the earth) ; Hydromancy (by water) ; Oneiromancy (by dreams) ; Pyromancy (by the crackling of the fire) ; Chiromancy (by the stripes of the hand) ; Rabdomancy (by the hazel wand) ; etc., etc. The number of mancias amounts, without exaggeration, to fifty or sixty.

There is, also, Natural Magic; this one had for object the investigation of the secrets of Nature. Those who dedicated themselves to this magic were, in reality, more than magicians, wise men devoted to experimental science, not yet subject to a methodical and reasoned classification. But those magicians, investigators of the secrets of Nature, were, without any doubt, the precursors of modern Physics; just as the Alchemists of the Middle Ages were the fathers of present-day Chemistry, and the Astrologers of ancient Chaldea gave birth to the astronomical science of our days.

As we have seen, the names that Magic has received are numerous. Generally, it is called by one appropriate to the object it pursues. Thus, there is erotic magic, amorous sorcery and sexual magic; three magics which have the same end : that of making oneself loved ; but to obtain such a desire, each one employs different procedures. Here, then, is how the triple denomination is indispensable.

Erotic magic.

In erotic magic, the forces of the astral plane are used. The magician "unfolds" and goes to the person who is the object of his passion and, using occult practices, establishes an astral relationship with her, using any object belonging to her, and if she has hair, a cloth stained with her blood, underwear worn for some time, etc., so much the better. Then the magician prepares some perfumes to exalt his imagination2 . Then he proceeds to externalize the astral body, intensifies it and throws it in the direction of the person, who is sleeping, faces without fear the involuntary reactions of the organism and over which, in any case, he has to obtain the desired victory. The victim feels attacked and sullied without seeing the perpetrator, even though he feels his contact vividly.

These "astral seductions" are often repeated ; the seduced, at the beginning, dislikes them, but in the long run she desires them and waits for the night with illusion. When this is the case, the bewitcher can ask the chosen woman for love, in the complete certainty that he will succeed in his enterprise.

These practices seem to us reprehensible; moreover, the "splitting" offers serious difficulties and is very dangerous, because there is the risk of breaking the psychic tape that unites the physical body with the astral or split body; if this happens, death is instantaneous. And this can happen either by inexperience of the operator or because the person to be seduced knows the occult laws of unfoldment and defends himself by cutting the astral current. We will discuss this at length later on.

Love sorcery.

Love sorcery, as its name suggests, aims to make oneself madly in love by means of certain arts of the sorcerer. These arts consist mainly in the use of love filters, known since the most remote antiquity. They are vulgarly called drink spells because they are usually given in drinks (wine, coffee, liquors, etc.), but they are given, when necessary, in food, generally in sweets (chocolate, cakes, cookies, etc.).

The amorous sorcery also employs certain goetic practices, very curious, of which we will make known the most effective ones, according to the most reputable grimoires.

We consider the use of the so-called love filters as much or more reprehensible than the handling of astral forces. Therefore, we severely condemn their use, because not only can they be harmful to the physical and mental health of those who ingest them, but their efficacy is fallacious, that is, they never provide the love that is desired, but only a few passing moments of a bestial lust, which has nothing to do with the sublimity of true love. For this reason, we do not believe it is licit or prudent to give even a sample of this dirty and criminal pharmacopoeia of love filters.

Sexual Magic.

The procedures employed in this branch of Occult Science are very different from those established by the two magics described above. The practices of Sexual Magic have a scientific basis and are certainly nobler. Sexual Magic uses only the forces of the spirit, the magnetic fluid and the power of the will, that is to say, irresistible forces that all emanate from our mental and psychic body.

Thus, to exercise Sexual Magic does not require, as in the other two, the manipulation of dangerous forces, nor the use of drugs of any kind, nor repugnant materials. The secret forces latent in every individual, properly put into action, are sufficient for success in an amorous enterprise.

This Magic, decent as it is, constitutes the primary object of our work; to the study of its laws and the description of its procedures, we must devote all the attention it deserves, without omitting, however, other curious subjects that are related to it.

ISORCERY AND LOVE

LLove Sorcery, like Erotic Magic, confuses pure love with the coarse satisfaction of the genital act, and for this reason its pretended "art of making oneself loved" - unworthy of the name - is pure Black Magic, and therefore despicable. In this chapter, then, we shall confine ourselves to tracing in broad outline the history of amorous sorcery in antiquity, noting, at the same time, what of this evil art has been preserved in our own day.

Primitive Love. Primitive men had, no doubt, habits similar to those of animals ; in the beginning there was scarcely any choice ; unions must have been the offspring of chance rather than of love. When there was choice, it belonged to man ; and if there was rivalry, maces and stone axes easily resolved the dispute, and the coveted object belonged to the strongest ; the duel had just been invented. At all times men have fought for the beautiful eyes of a female. These fights, which seem barbaric to us, had a remarkable usefulness; there was an interest in that the most beautiful and robust women belonged to the strongest men; they were thus better protected and a natural selection advantageous to the species was operated.

Fighting and competition have been more violent in the human race than in most animals, because, as Figaro - Beaumarchais' character - says so well: "what distinguishes man from other animals is that he drinks without being thirsty and makes love at all times".

Later, when a beginning of civilization emerged, when families joined together to form tribes, men and women were able to make their choice more in accordance with their affective needs.

In villages where women are considered as slaves or beasts of burden, the choice belongs to men, who are more interested in muscular strength than in beauty.

In societies where polygamy is established, the choice remains with the man, but each of the women in the harem can flirt, first to be chosen and then to be loved by the common husband and to be preferred among all the others.

In peoples who admit only monogamy and where women are not slaves, men and women can choose the partner of their lives. In these conditions, the art of pleasing appears and the art of making oneself loved becomes indispensable. However, it is not only beauty, not only personal qualities, that come into play: rank, wealth, religion and other elements, which make free choice difficult, are taken into consideration in a quite decisive way. Thus, the sincere love is very often contradicted, which originates this incessant struggle for life and plays very often its greatest stimulant. The pursuit of fortune, fame and honors have, frequently, no other object than the triumph in love struggles.

Magic and Love.

Since ancient times, women, in their desire to be loved, have not been content with using their studied coquetry and highlighting their natural charms, but have used various magical filters and other occult powers in order to rekindle the love of their beloved, to attract him and finally dominate him. Unmarried girl, she has procured, full of illusion, of the most famous amulets and talismans to get a boyfriend ; deceived or jealous wife or substituted lover, she has resorted to the recipes offered to her by a sorceress very accredited in these cases, to win back the affection of the unfaithful husband or to take revenge on a rival ; old already, she has put at the service of the others her unlimited diabolic science, because, deceived or deceived, the woman cannot do without that mysterious power which unites the sexes.

All these witchcraft practices, first transmitted orally with great secrecy, and then stamped in clandestine booklets, paid in gold weight, have constituted for long centuries a very important part of the traditional witchcraft and were often exploited by the priests of some religions of antiquity. It should be added that such ceremonies were not reserved only for the weaker sex, but were and are still practiced for the benefit of shy young men and men too candid.

In Egypt, the priests of Memphis possessed bronze plates on which were engraved symbolic images in lascivious attitudes, and those magicians claimed that it was enough to bury one of those plates on the threshold of the house inhabited by a woman for her to fall in love with the "client" on behalf of whom the magic ceremony was performed.
