Eulis! The History of Love

AdvancedPrimary Sourcecomplete

A foundational text of American esoteric thought, exploring the philosophical and practical intersections of love, spirit, and the 'solar' mysteries. Randolph's work is widely considered the root of modern Western sex magic. Combines Victorian romance with esoteric teachings about sexual energy, magnetic healing, and the 'ansairetic mysteries.' Presents revolutionary (for its time) ideas about the spiritual dimensions of human sexuality, soul affinity, and the generation of magical power through sexual union. Influenced later sex magic practitioners including Aleister Crowley and the O.T.O. Written in florid Victorian style mixing practical instruction with philosophical speculation.
