Sacred Rite of Magical Love

The first English translation of Maria de Naglowskas sexually magical novella, Le rite sacr de lamour magique Contains autobiographical material from Maria de Naglowskas life Continues, in symbolic story form, the sexual initiatory teachings expounded in Naglowskas The Light of Sex and Advanced Sex Magic Includes a summary of Naglowskas religious doctrine in her own words Available for the first time in English, The Sacred Rite of Magical Love is a mystical, sexually magical novella written by Maria de Naglowska--the Russian mystic and esoteric high priestess of 1930s Paris. Her religious system, called the Third Term of the Trinity, taught the importance of sex for the upliftment of humanity. A natural continuation of Naglowskas The Light of Sex and Advanced Sex Magic, this volume also contains autobiographical material from Maria de Naglowskas life. Full of symbolic language and hidden meanings, the story follows a young woman named Xenophonta as she experiences the apparition of a dark force, whom she calls the Master of the Past and to whom she dedicates her heart and her service. En route to a midnight rendezvous with him, Xenophonta encounters a young Cossack, Micha, who sexually accosts her. Telling Micha that she already belongs to another, she escapes to keep her rendezvous. Micha, now jealous, follows her and ends up taking part in a strange, mystical ceremony that transforms him, through the magic of word and flesh. With a preface discussing the Sacred Triangle and the magical symbol of the AUM Clock, both central symbols in Naglowskas religious system as well as in the story, the book also includes a summary of the doctrine of the Third Term of the Trinity in de Naglowskas own words--important to any student of the Western Mystery tradition.
