From ancient temple dwellers to modern urban residents, priests, poets and people from all walks of life have looked to sexuality to aid them in connecting with the Divine. In a subject previously obscured by foreign terms and deliberate 'blinds' for the uninitiated, Ecstatic Ritual offers the reader clear, concise exercises and ritual forms which comprise a full understanding of sacred and magical sexuality. Heterosexual, gay and lesbian magicians, in couples or singly, explore a magical system which methodically explains the worship of and union with the Divine in each person. This updated second edition includes expanded material, a new introduction by the author, an annotated bibliography and an index.
