Tarot of Sexual Magic

The magical and creative power inherent in sexualityand the sexual act is a reality man has been aware ofsince the dawn of time. Moreover, if magic is recognised as one face of reality, it is not surprising that sexuality- which is so important not only in the life of theindividual,but for the entire human species -plays afundamental role in magic as well.

The magic power that derives from the sexual dimension can be developed through abstinence, virginity, orretaining sperm so that the magician may channel theenergies that accumulate within him or her in a mystical direction.In antiquity, this aspect of sexual magiowas embodied in priestly figures, like those of the virgins of the oracle of Delphi or the vestal virgins ofancient Rome.

More often,however,sexual magic is expressed bypeople through the act or sexual desire, embracingrather than denying the urges that drive the humanbeing.
