Book Details + Condition: First edition from 1975 of the classic SEX AND MAGIC by David Farren. In very good condition: boards and binding are solid and tight; slight fading to upper front and rear boards; slight shelf wear; interior is clean and free of markings; dust jacket has some shelf wear, mainly at the top of the spine — it remains unclipped, with the original price still present. "In spite of the bell-book-and-water-bed title, this is a
patiently studious and unpretentious corollary to the author's Living with
Magic (1974) in which he further explores the concept of magic as 'a
fully legitimate category of human experience, a manner of seeing the world
poetically and working with what is seen to bring about certain physical or
psychological effects.'... Sexuality, he says,
is an opportunity to realize psychological wholeness via the complementary 'rhythms' of archetypical male and female polarities.
Through the heightened awareness provided by a true understanding of the
properties of magic, sex may offer an awakened spirituality and even point
toward evolutionary cosmic purpose." [Kirkus Review]
