Oh boy. I skimmed the beginning and end of that book, and the author presents some rather... skewed moral sensibilities around sex (See for example "The Red Rite" near the end of the book).
I guess these counter-culture esoteric/religious movements don't necessarily improve on the human flaws of Christian priests.
- epiccoleman 3y agoYeah, please don't read my mention of that book as any kind of endorsement, more like a "wow, look at the wild shit this guy wrote." I think a lot of the Chaos Magic stuff is written in a spirit of playfulness (though there's plenty of plain dumb stuff too), it's kind of the characteristic of that "movement" in magic to play freely with tropes from every imaginable system and mix them in weird fashions.
